Beef chuck roasts are also featured at Stong’s for 98¢ a pound. | oiten buy these and make my own corned beef. The beef must be fresh, not frozen to cure properly. Remove the bones and cut away as much fat as you can.

I use a smal! crock with a lid to cure the beef but any glass bowl with a cover will do. Don’t use metal. To hold the beef under the Pickling liquid, try a glass plate weighed down with a well-scrubbed rock wrapped in. several layers of plastic

wrap.

Saltpetre is available in drug stores.

That new name would certainly add some colour to the area . and it would save our advertising writer a ton “['m just driving over the Rio Grande” might take some getting used to but imagine how it will give commuters a brand new sense of purpose for mak- ing the drive over the Lions Gate Bridge.

I VOTE ‘YES’ TO THE PROPOSAL!

Drop off at Las PAargaritas, downstalrs at 745 Thurlow by Albernt in the West End. Open 7 nights a week.

Weigh down, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Next day, add cold water to cover, weigh down and refrigerate. Each day for the next 14 days, turn the meat. Scald the plate and re-wrap the weight in fiesh plastic wrap. Keep the meat refrigerated.

To cook: Drain off pickl- ing liquid. Place meat in a deep pot with a lid and add water to cover. Add:

Y cup vinegar 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 chopped onion

Simmer several hours or un- til very tender. Serve hot or well chilled and thinly sliced.

I have frozen the uncook- ed corned beef but not for more than a couple of weeks - spices tend to change flavor when frozen.

As part of a total Lower Maintand ‘rethinking’ and “‘RENAM- ING POLICY” many heretofore vague and confusing ‘“‘place”’ and “area’’ names have come under scrutiny. oo It has come to the attention of certain parties that the terms “First Narrows” and ‘First Narrows Crossing” (The Lion's Gate Bridge) have led to confusion over the years... ter of great concern to North Shore residents and commuters. Agroup trom a downtown Vancouver Mexican restaurant . has proposed that ‘The First Narrows'’ be RENAMED ‘The . thereby allowing them to run newspaper ads - ’ “on the North Shore papers featuring headlines such as ‘Las Margaritas — the best Mexican food South of The Rio Grande!" or ‘For the most colorful Parties head South of The ‘or “Looking for a festive weekday lunch?
