BY MALCOLM LA Ill IIIti Malcolm LaPrade, author of THAT MAN IN THE KITCHEN, acquired an interest in foods at an early age, and admits thatcooking is his favorite sport. To many he is well known as TheMan From Cooks.1 In 1925 he began his first series of radio trav-elogues and continued them for fifteen years, hardly stopping toCatch his hreath. He has traveled in almost every part of theworld and his commentaries were a delight to those listeners witha yearning for far-off places. [AN does not cook by recipes alone. Secure in the knowledgethat all the worlds great chefs have been men, he relies on hisnatural talent. Despising rules anil regulations, he approachesculinary problems as a creative artist and avoids the use ofmeasuring spoons or other gadgets that take the sporting elementout of cookery. If the result is unexpected, he can always say heplanned it that way. Every wife of a cooking husband knows thatthe masculine ego in the kitchen is a tiling to be reckoned with. Thebest sh

So gladly we welcome the happy day,That comes when the summer is oer, When the scattered friends we love so well,Round the home hearth meet once more! A peanut doll dressed in blue and white crepe paper inPuritan costume, holding a few heads of wheat, makes an appro-priate and dainty Thanksgiving favor. Decorate the table with autumn leaves. Corn, husked and tied together, ismost effective, suspended here and there from the walls and between the doors.As Thanksgiving is the one day of the year when all America gives praise for pros-perity and freedom, an unusually well-filled board is not only in good taste, but isexpected. To make a unique Thanksgiving dessert, cut a small pumpkin across the top.Carefully scoop out the inside. Place on a dish and fill with Floating Island;replace the pumpkin top. Garnish the platter with generous sprigs of autumnleaves, and on these lay a variety of sliced cakes. MENU Let us eat and be merry.—Luke iS:2JDINNER Oysters on Half Shell Mutton BrothCeler

the little book of calm

Image by davebrny
Black Books: Episode 1: Cooking the Books
Let go once in a while, you are a loose Lily floating down an amber river
Whenever you’re in a tight spot, try to imagine yourself marooned on a beautiful desert island’.
When you rest, you are a king surveying your estate. Look at the woodland, the peacocks on the lawn. Be the king of your own calm kingdom
If you want to feel calm, eat more raw fruit and vegetables, yoghurt, milk and seeds.
When you’re feeling under pressure, do something different. Roll up your sleeves, or eat an orange.
Be on the look out for things that make you laugh. If you see nothing worth laughing at, pretend you see it, then laugh.
Add a dab of lavender to milk; leave town with an orange, and pretend you’re laughing at it.
