"Tired? Mercy no! Not with the care of that little apartment! I like fun and excitement and something to do in the evening! I've been studying household economy, as you suggested, and I've learned a lot, but I can't be doing that all the time! Well, I must run on, Bettina! Let me know how the pie turns out!"
That night Bettina served:
Bettina's Pork Chops and Dressing
Baked Potatoes Apple Sauce
Bread Butter
Cranberry Pie Coffee
BETTINA'S RECIPES
(All measurements are level)
Pork Chops Bettina (Two portions)
2 pork chops
½ t-chopped onion
1 T-chopped green pepper
1½ C-fresh bread crumbs
¼ t-chopped parsley
½ t-salt
1 T-melted butter
1 egg-yolk
¼ t-celery salt
1 T-water
Add the onion, green peppers, parsley, salt and celery salt to the crumbs. Add the egg-yolk, butter and water, and mix thoroughly. Wipe the chops, and place one in a small pan (to serve as a roasting pan), place the dressing on top. Place the other chop on top of the dressing. Press together and bake in a moderate oven one hour. Turn the chops so that the under one will brown. Baste occasionally with one-fourth of a cup of hot water to which has been added one teaspoon of butter. Put a lid on the pan so that the steam will cause the chops to cook. Place one tablespoon of water in the pan to prevent burning or drying out. Replenish when necessary.
Apple Sauce (Two portions)
6 Jonathan apples
½ C-sugar
1/8 t-cinnamon
Enough water to cover
