Home-baked cookies irresistible

NOT MANY people can resist a panful of
home-made cookies, which is why I don’t bake
too many of them any more.

My family can eat six
dozen in six minutes and
then hold me directly
responsible if they gain
weight.

For anyone toting a lunch,
cookies are a treat and easy
on the budget if you make
them yourself. They freeze
well and will last several
days if you hide them in a
bag labelled ‘‘soup bones”
or ‘‘liver for cats.’’

Woodward's has an ex-
cellent special on flour this
week - 10 K bags of WW
brand, several varieties for
$4.77,

Here’s an oatmeal
cookie recipe that we like -
VN give you’ the original
quantities but I always dou-
ble the recipe.

Even if they follow up with
an oatmeal cookie and a
glass of milk you'll have the
teacher’s gratitude.

There are some excellent
meat buys this week at every
supermarket - a good time to
stock up your freezer.

Buy Low has bone-in pork
shoulder roasts at $1.28 Ib.
and Safeway has them at
$1.29 and the boneless ones
at $1.49,

Safeway also has single-
loin pork chops at $1.58 and
double-loin at $1.98.

Super Valu'’s pork picnics
at 79¢ a pound are an
economical buy. | boil these
until fork tender (about 2
hours), chill and skim the
broth for soup and get two
meals out of a small picnic.

Another excellent buy is
top sirloin steak at Super
Valu - $1.89. They’ve got a
veal sale on as well but veal
is still luxury meat.

If you're shopping at
Safeway, stock up on regular
ground beef at 89¢ Ib. Don’t
miss the chuck roasts at
Save-On-Foods for 97¢ 1b.

Stong’s has whole fryers,
utility grade at 98¢ a pound
but the specia! I'll really
stock up on is stewing beef
at $1.88. I like to keep plen-
ty of this on hand along with
packages of frozen puff
pastry to make up Steak and
Mushrom Pie (I gave you the
recipe a while back). That’s
the geatest meal for a busy
day.
