Dunbar _ 273-2934 It's unfortunate that all of the people who try the Cornish Pasty for the first time can't eat one prepared: by really good Cornish cooks. Our first one, when we were new here, was produced commercially and left a lot to be desired. The meat was so tough it practically bit you back, there was a great preponderance of crust, and the pepper almost lifted the roof off your head, I learned to like them in spite of all this, My husband who hates meat with any inclination to resist, can't abide pepper, and thinks pie crust is for the birds even when it's negligible was completely disallusioned. The group of 80 guests from Tulare County Historical Society who were touring our area last weekend were served a pasty luncheon by the Nevada County Historical Society on Sunday. It was quite apparent from the first succulent mouthful that lunch“een was going to be a hit. The society women made the pasties on Saturday and the Cornish cooks of the group, Thelma Gates and Sibley Hansen, were upset about even this. It seems having to reheat them isn't truly in the best interest of the pasty. In fact they agreed the ingredients should be cut directly into the prepared turnover dough, cooked, and eaten immediately. These seemed to respond very nicely, however. In fact I bought a few to reheat again for those "busy day" dinners. I'm sure they will still be excellent. Thelma and Sibley gave us a few hints that I would like to pass on to you, One important trick is never let a bit of the original food essence escape, When I baked some I punctured the top in a pretty little pattern. This is absolutely 'verpoten." Don't even let a speck of steam escape. I precooked the meat a little too hoping to better please my husband. This is an even worse "faux pas", There was no noticeable amout of pepper in these pasties. The little bit of bite they had came from parsley which is the way it is Supposed ‘to be. Some Cornishmen (ladies) use turnips sliced directly on the bottom crust to keep the crust more dry. Our ladies frowned on this practice, Use only round steak, potatoes, onions, salt, and parsley, unless you would like to add an absolutely Cornish gourmet touch. If you wish this then add a couple of tablespoons of very thick cream just before you secure the whole thing tightly. They did say, in the interests of my husband's preference about meat, that I could use the round steak sliced in very thin pieces. The potatoes and onion must also be in very thin small slices. They suggested using a guide (dish with a slightly upturned edges) to hold the nice large amount of ingredients together in the crust until you can get the edges of your turnover firmly sealed. Delicious! ! * * * * The society is presenting a program tomorrow Thursday, ‘November 4 at 8:15 p.m, at the Nevada City. Veterans Hall for the general public. The regular meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. and after a short break at 8, Alvin Dilts of Grass Valley will show his extremely interesting slides of scenes in and about Nevada county. Everyone interested is invited. ok bd . * The Nevada County Liberal Arts Commission, whose sole job at present is to preserve the Old Nevada Theater for posterity, did very well on their Haunted House last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Proceeds from the show will probably be used to take care of some electrical work required by the insurance carriers before the theater can be reopened. Gene Porter, civil engineer of Sacramento, who did the restoration of the Crocker Art Gallery there, has presented his recommendations to our local theater engineer Frances Lloyd and they are at present working out details and costs for the corrective structural work which has been recommended for the complete protection and preservation of the old theater. The Board of Directors, of which I am privileged to be a member, is extremely disappointed that the theater cannot be reopened immediately. We are however doing what we can to move the restoration project forward while the minor but costly corrections needed are being made. It won't be too long. Porter and Orval Johnson, Engineers who worked on the Columbia and Markleville projects for the state, have both agreed that they wished other historical restoration they have worked on were, even after restoration, in as good condition as this old building. They really get carried away with their enthusiasm for its history and preservation and are not seriously concerned over the "minor corrections" needed at this time. Sally Lewis, Commission Ways and Means Chairman, is preparing a program to "sell the bricks" in the facade of the theater. They are the beautiful original. front of the building which is being exposed from behind that ugly plaster mask which has been covering it since 1948, Of course, you-won't get to take a brick home but you will be remembered in a Permanent Book of some sort for the lobby. Each one of the approximately 1,600 bricks which may become available for sale needs to be exposed, the faces regrouted (probably wrong way to say it but you will know what I mean), and then properly sealed against the elements. This is the job Sally hopes to pay for with the brick project. Have you noticed the beautiful graphite slab curb and the lobby work which the city replaced for the theater when it installed the gas lights and the new sidewalks. Installation of the old iron doors is on the agenda. * * * * Operation Cookie is set for Tuesday, November 9 at the Seventh Day Adventist Church kitchen back of the church on Alta St, Our Nevada County Servicemen who are away from home always need home made cookies but especially as the holiday. season nears it seems to,.be more important, I can't even imagine how awful.it mustbe on a big, lonesome old battleship in foreign waters or on foreign soil in a big military camp. Exciting maybe but oh so empty of the familiar and loving things of home. Even cookies would help.The ladies of all faiths who work on this pro‘ject are always in need of more cookies, more helpers, more postage, more coffee cans, more cookie wrapping foil, and even more outside brown wrapping paper. You can leave most thin: on the kitchen porch any time. They work Tuesday afternoons. Mail your checks. * * * * Don't forget the ladies work each Tuesday at the Grange Hall on the Harvest Bazaar. They are preparing a good selection of gifts for your indoor Mall Gift Shopping on Saturday, November 20. * * * Someone is always telling stories that show how smart animals really are, Well, I have one to top them all, The Binders of Rough and Ready Road grow fruit for the animals. I sometimes stems so anyway Eleanor says. When the community's pet deer "Squeaky" came by for his daily apple after they were all picked they simply could not discourage him. Finally Frank told him he would just show him there were none left and he shook the tree, Squeaky was right after all, One well hidden apple fell to the ground. The blamed little rascal had known all along that there was an apple left. wie ay, set 2 4 “ iatinedl
