Interlude, v. 1, issue 4, July 1940

Page 12

When I joined the National, Edwin Hadley Smith sent many suggestions for me to follow in writing a column for INTERLUDE. Knowing my professional occupation, he seemed to think that the National Amateur Press Association could stand a Domestic Science Column. From conversation at the banquet, I gathered that at least two were good cooks. James Morton can give many different recipes for preparing oysters, and I know that by this time Miss Turnepseed can attest to their deliciousness. The most resourceful cook that I know of, nevertheless, is the daughter of a friend of mine who was baking a cake for a family where she was employed. I quote from her letter to her mother, describing her making of a cake:

"I started the frosting at about 5:30. I used your orange frosting. The cake case Fundamental Cake (Foundation!). I got everything done up to the point of adding lemon juice. Seeing no signs of a lemon, I used too much lemon extract. Then I started dumping in confectioner's sugar. She had only about a cupful left, so, as I couldn't find anything else, I used a little flour, and thought I'd sweeten it up with granulated sugar. The flour sort of equalized the flavor. It really wasn't so bad to look at, and Billy came back for more. I really couldn't eat it."
