LIMA BEAN SALAD
2 cups or
1 can lima beans.
French dressing.
Cream Dressing.
2 hard-cooked eggs.
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives.
Process: Cook beans in boiling salted water until tender; drain. If canned French lima beans are used, drain from liquor in can and rinse in cold water. Cover beans with French Dressing, let stand one hour. Drain and sprinkle with chives (onion juice may be used). Mix with Cream Dressing and arrange in nests of lettuce heart leaves. Garnish with eggs cut in quarters lengthwise; dip sharp edge in French Dressing, then in finely chopped chives or parsley.
GRAHAM BREAD SANDWICHES
Rub one cream cheese to a paste, add six olives finely chopped and one-half cup finely chopped pecans. Spread thin slices of graham bread with chive butter. Spread an equal number slices of bread with cheese mixture. Lay one of each together, press edges, trim off crusts and cut diagonally across in triangles.
GRAHAM BREAD
4 cups boiling water.
2 tablespoons sugar.
1 tablespoon salt.
2 tablespoons Cottolene.
1 yeast cake dissolved in
½ cup lukewarm water.
8 cups Graham flour.
6 cups white flour.
Process: Put sugar, salt and Cottolene in large mixing bowl. Pour on boiling water; when lukewarm add dissolved yeast cake. Sift together Graham and white flour, reserving one cup white flour for kneading. Add flour gradually to water mixture, stirring constantly; beat as mixture becomes stiff. Turn on a well-floured board and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Return dough to bowl, cover and set to rise in a warm place. When dough has doubled its bulk, cut it down with a knife without removing from bowl; cover and set to rise again. When double in bulk, knead slightly, weigh dough and divide into one-pound loaves. Shape loaves, place two loaves in each well-greased, brick-shaped bread pan, brush between loaves with melted Cottolene. (There will be six loaves.) Cover and set to rise; when light, bake one hour in a "bread oven."
CHIVE BUTTER
Cream one-fourth cup butter; add two tablespoons very finely chopped chives. Season with a few grains salt and cayenne.
