Late season planting advice for garden vegetables
Several vegetables can still be planted in the garden, especially in areas where early vegetables have been harvested, extending the growing period and harvest window.
Thawing meat guidance for safe cooking and timing
Thawing is a matter of convenience when cooking meat. You may cook meat while still frozen or thaw it in the wrapping. In cooking meat that is not thawed the cooking time must be increased to allow for the thawing. The cooking method depends on the grade and cut. Always use meat soon after thawing. Never place in water to thaw.
Thawing and Cooking Poultry Guidelines
Poultry may be cooked satisfactorily before or after thawing. Complete thawing aids stuffing. Allow 12 to 20 extra minutes for solidly frozen birds. Methods are the same as for fresh poultry. Do not refreeze once thawed.
Home Demonstration Committee Sets Picnic Date
The home demonstration executive committee meets this week to plan the annual picnic on June 18. Attendees will discuss plans for the Farm and Home Conference in August and the National Home Demonstration Council meeting. These are important dates for all members.
Guidelines for Cooking Frozen Foods
Inquiries on frozen foods note they should resemble fresh quality when cooked. Use thawed frozen foods promptly and never refreeze. Some foods need no thawing, others are best partially or fully thawed. Leave packages unopened until ready to cook.
Freezing and Cooking Guidelines for Vegetables
The text advises keeping vegetables frozen until cooking begins. Boiling is recommended as the best method except for corn, squash, eggplant, and mashed vegetables. Cook frozen vegetables in a small amount of rapidly boiling water until just tender.
Home Demonstration Club Schedule
The schedule lists meetings from Tuesday June 1 through Friday June 4. Latta meets at the school Tuesday, Homer at the club house Wednesday, Ada at Wintersmith Park Wednesday, Colbert with Mrs L B Boone Thursday, and Francis at the parsonage Baptist Church Friday.
