Here we go.

In a fairly large bowl, put
five cups (1250 mL) of pastry
flour, and with a fork stir in,
gently, 2 tsp. (10 mL) each of
baking powder. and salt.

Into this mixture, cut a
pound of lard.

Sure, hold the lard in your
hand and chop pieces off it
until it’s all in the flour.
Now, using a pastry cutter or
two sharp knives or your
hands, chop and rub and
blend the flour and lard until
it looks something _ like
oatmeal — crumbly, no big
pieces of fat to be seen,
evenly combined.

Use a 8-oz. measuring cup
(250 mL) and a fork and beat
an egg until it’s frothy. Add 1
tbsp. (15 mL) of vinegar to

this beaten egg, and then fill

the cup up with cold water.
Dump this into the flour
mixture. Yes, all at once.
And with a fork, or a spoon,
stir briskly and thoroughly to
blend into a smooth bail.

STOCK UP NOW ON WINE
1981— a dismal year

PRICES will be high,
and quality only
mediocre to good when
the 1981 wines find
their way onto the
market in a few years.
Wine production dropped
almost everywhere in_ the

world, because of bad
weather and over-

higher prices and better
wines will go hand in hand
(or glass in glass).

California also suffered
from overproduction
(quaintly known as ‘plant
fatigue’) and bad weather.
Prices for wine grapes rose
sharply in response,
especially for white
varieties, which will mean
higher prices when the wines
come on the market.

Germany had hopes for a

food

production. It’s too early to
tell about 1982.
The biggest horror story

was in France, where
Burgundy wine production
was cut in half, and

Champagne lost 80 per cent
of its grapes from frost. The
Champagne story. is
especially chilling because
this is the third bad year in
the last four.

Bordeaux production
dropped by 30 per cent, but
only modest increases in
price will result, because of
overproduction in previous
years.

Italv’s wine output fell by
25 per cent from 1980 last

good wine harvest in 1981
after a disappointing year in
1980. But heavy rains in the
first few days of the harvest
damaged the grapes.

I found this information
about the wine harvest of
1981 in a beautiful magazine
called Italian Wines and

America from European

The magazine has bright.
colorful illustrations and
articles about such diverse
subjects as what wine to
serve with Chinese food and
the origin of pasta. But best
of all are the ads, which with
their full color pictures of
tall, slim bottles were
enough to make me go on an
orgy of Italian wine buying
in the local liquor store.

The one big ball is clumsy
to handle, so cut it into two
and reshape and blend so
you have two equal balls.
Wrap them in foil, now, and
put them to chill — or to
freeze if you're absolutely
pooped for the day.

Give the pastry an hour's
chilling (or yard it out of the
freezer) and then you're
ready to tackle it with the
rolling-pin or wine bottle, an
equally good rolling tool.
Dust a board of slab with
flour, don't be too generous.

MOSCOW (UPI) - A
reporter researching
preparations for the 1984
Olympics in Southern
California has revealed what
he believes is the secret
behind the success of
McDonald's hamburgers to
his Soviet readers.

“They serve very rapidly

in these cafes,” Washington-

based Izvestia correspon-
dent A. Palladin said in his
feature article in the current
edition of Soviet Culture.
“But the local customers
told me the secret of this
rapidity,” he wrote.
“McDonald’s hires girls
and boys of 20-22 because it
is simpler to deal with them
and easy to make them work
in a wild rhythm,” he wrote.
“The firm's uniforms do not
have any pockets for the
workers and they have no
place to hide their tips.”
McDonald's officials, he
wrote, do not object to the
workers accepting tips, but
they want the tips passed on.

Making pastry that will never fail

too much flour rolled into
your pastry will toughen it. If
you keep one hand lightly on
top of the roller, and steer
with the other, you'll be able
to execute those short, firm
strokes outwards from the
centre. One of those
balls should make both
crusts for an apple pies, or
two quiche crusts, or 30 or
40 tart rounds. °
When you have a fair-sized
round, pat it all over with the

flat of your hand to deter-.

mine even thicknesses —

you don’t want it thick on
this side, thin on that. You
can make it really thin
without worrying about its

tearing; this pastry is
beautifully elastic and
doesn't separate easily.

Learn to lift it in one piece
and centre it on your pie
plate and gently pat it into
the proper shape. Or cut
rounds for tarts and similarly
fit them down into the little
pans. Now you know you can
do anything, eh?
