Sidelights
When Mrs. Ernest Zahn was
asked if she had any "pet peeve,"
she remarked that she was very
much irritated by the way everyone, particularly Radio and TV
personalities read figures the
wrong way, putting decimal points
in the wrong places.
Mrs- John Flook stated that her
"pet peeve" was the "magazine
snatcher" type of person. It
makes her very angry when someone reads over her shouldar and
finally takes the magazines away
before she has had time to read
it.
When Mrs. Martin Fuoss was
approached for a contribution for
this column she gave us the following interesting story:
Every home I enter these days,
seems to carry the tang and smell
of spiced pickles or relishes—I
have caught the fever too, and arn
deep in the process of 14-day
pickles which are an old time favorite with every one, bread and
butter ones are always popular, as
are dills, cucumber rings, pickles
extraordinaire, there is just no
end to interesting pickles one can
make.
Nowhere in the whole work of
preparing food for the table is
true gastronomic genius more evident than in the preparation of
pickles and relishes; they add interest and palatability to any meal
and homemakers find a very real
pleasure in preparing and serving
these appetizers. "The commercial
concerns now produce all kinds
and combinations of pickles, yet
housewives the world over delight
in making these pickle variations
in their own kitchens, thus achieving something a little different
for the family, or saving some vegetable that otherwise would be
wasted.
I always loved to go to Grandmother's house to visit, for every
room was so interesting, when it
came time for supper, if we were
going to have fried potatoes,
grandmother would give me a
little fluted plate and a tiny fork
with a black handle and tell me
to go to the cellar stairs, along
a row of crocks which I would
find on a stone ledge, to get some
of what was in the fourth crock,
they all had big white plates on
top, in the first was peach pickles, the next was pear pickles,
then came crab-apples in spiced
syrup, and the fourth was the one
I was to open, it held pickled
green tomato rings. I filled my
little dish very carefu'ly, replaced
the white plate and proudly carried it to the table—and how good
they were with those hashed
brown potatoes-
If it turned out to be a rainy
day on our visit, we were allowed
to play in the attic, listening to
the patter of rain on the roof, and
/li*yiing on all the clothes in the
cedar trunks, the day was all too
short.
I think most of all I loved the
butt'ry most, you entered it from
the big low-ceiled kitchen, and the
broad-paneled door was made
more secure by a big wooden button above the latch which I could
just reach by standing on tiptoe.
And inside! Shelves, cupboards,
and tables filled with all kinds of
good things. Needless to say, I
was allowed wthin the sacred butt'ry precincts only when Grandmother sent me thither on an errand, needless to say also, I never
hurried. I saw all there was to
see. I knew exactly where the big,
brown cooky crock stood always
full of sugar-crusted cookies, for
which Grandmother was famous in
the neighborhood, sometimes when
sending me on an errand to the
butt'ry, Gradmother would tell me
to help myself to a cooky. By
mounting the sugar bucket I was
able to get my hand inside the
jar, and how much better it tastes
than when patronizingly handed
me by an elder!
There was the bread-tin containing golden crusted loaves
made with potato yeast kept in a
crock in *the cellar. Yes, Grandmother made her own yeast too,
for there were no grocery stores
around the corner. In that same
cellar was the fat brown pitcher
containing buckwheat batter for
pancakes—a "must-have" the year
'round for Grandfather, But here
I am digressing from pickles. It's
hard not to when writing of
Grandmother's house! Thinking
about it, straightway I was a child
again, standing in the old butt'ry,
roundeyed and probably open-
mouthed! As I have said,there was
a creamy mound of newly, made
Dutch cheese, moistened to exactly the right consistency with thick
yellow cream, dusted with salt.
There was a yellow crock filled
with reddish brown apple sauce,
just as it came from the oven, having baked slowly all day. Strawberry apples from the tree by the
corn-crib.
On shelves were "bottles of
sparkling cherry cordial, dandelion blow and elderberry wines.
Little squatty jars of spiced black
currants (why don't more people
grow black currants, I wonder!)
Wild grape jelly, lovely amber
Porter  apple.   That  gnarled   and
ancient Roxbury Russet tree which

wooley affair, with John Wellington pitching two hit balls for
