Vegetable Chowder Makes Most Substantial Dish
A mixed vegetable chowder is presented as a substantial dish. Substitutions like rice and okra for potatoes and carrots are suggested, with steps including simmering potatoes and carrots, adding onions, tomatoes, skim milk, and thickening with flour. Celery tops or green peppers and chives are optional flavor enhancers.
Creamed Peanuts and Rice Dish from USDA
The USDA recommends a quick dish using boiled rice. Make a white sauce with flour, melted fat, and milk, cook until thick, then fold in rice and peanuts with seasoning. Place in a greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Care of Milk and Dairy Products on the Farm
Milk and cream spoil easily and must be produced and stored cleanly. Proper milking, sterilized utensils, prompt straining, cooling to 50 degrees or lower, and odor-free storage boost quality. Bottled store milk at home, rinse bottle mouths, keep butter cold and covered, and wrap cheese to prevent mold and odor transfer.
