12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Februcry 19, 1983 FRIED CHICKEN AND PEANUT APPLE PIE Winter Lunch-Box Fillers Can Be Summer Picnic Good Picnics . . . doesn't the word conjure up mouthwatering visions of crispy salads, plump chicken legs, tasty cold cuts, and home-baked goodies? Beg- ging your pardon . . . we know the picnic season is just around the corner but we're waging a campaign this month to make fall and winter lunch boxes as much of a treat as summer pic- nics ... or almost! After all, both meals are carried in the hand, so why not? Of course, part of the appeal of a picnic is eating in the wide open spaces. True too, that pic- nics are an occasiona] thing, and lunch boxes are packed day in, day out. But we still think it's possible to capture some of the home-cooked good- ness of last summer's picnic, without making it a real chore. Start off with these three new easy-to-make recipes from the Canadian Dairy Foods Service Bureau. To make it easier still, we suggest that you prepare the oven-fried chicken and peanut butter apple pie 'for supper some night soon, tucking "plan- ned leftovers" into those lunch- box picnics, next day. And for a change from 'sandwiches 1", try a meal-in-a-bun, hot chili-cheese buns. If you like a crisp crusty coat- ing on your fried chicken, then you'll like this recipe for oven- fried chicken. Just dip the chicken in specially seasoned flour, and cook in melted butter in a very hot oven. Turn once, and in 45 minutes it will be just right for eating. Be sure, how- ever, to use a broad shallow pan «. the oven broiler pan, with- out the top rack, works well. Then refrigerate the chicken over night for the lunch box. . . along with a buttered roll, a few erisp salad greens, and ice cold milk, it's a lunch to dream ebout! OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN (Makes 4 or 5 Servings) % (2%- to 3-pound) broiler- fryer, cut up ¥Y cup flower 1% teaspoons salt ¥% teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon paprika 1% teaspoons curry powder 1% teaspoons poultry seasoning ¥% cup butter Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Wipe chicken with damp cloth. Combine flour, salt, pep- per, paprika, curry powder, and try seasoning in a plastic . Shake 2 or 3 chicken pieces in the seasoned flour at a time. Place butter in large shallow and melt in oven. Place chicken pieces in pan skin side down. Bake in preheated oven 80 minutes. Turn chicken; bake 16 minutes longer. Winter is open season on Apple Pie! In this new version the difference is in the streusel topping ... peanut butter is added to the usual crumbly but- ter mixture for a delicious nutty flavor. It's easy to pack too, since the ple cuts easily and isn't at all runny, As an extra treat, why not pack a wedge of that good Canadian on cheese to go along with 4 ® PEANUT BUTTER APPLE PIE (Makes 1 (%inch) Pie) i unbaked 9-inch pie shell FOR THE Elegant Bride A vision In silk and lace, she's the loveliest bride of the year in a gown from the equisite collection of Franklin-Simon, Pranklin - Simon | Oshawa Shopping Centre 3 cups thinly-sliced pareu apples 44 cup light-packed brown sugar cup all-purpose flour 1-3 cup chilled butter Y% cup peanut butter Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare apples. Arrange apples in pie shell. Combine brown sugar and flour, Cut in butter finely. Add peanut butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over apples. Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes; re- 1 longer. There's nothing so dear to the sandwich fans, as "do-it-your- self" sandwiches. So here, for them, is a recipe for hot chili- cheese buns. With a thermos of hot chili, a container of cole- slaw and'buttered hamburg rolls they can rebuild themselves king-sized sandwiches ... de- licious and nourishing too! The bean mixture starts with a can of pork and beans; cheddar cheese and chili powder add that homemade goodness in a jiffy. And although the dainty eaters may prefer their beans in a dish, we think it's more fun in a bun! HOT CHILI-CHEESE BUNS (Makes sufficient for 1 (8-ounce) can pork and beans 1 teaspoon chili powder 2 tablespoons chili sauce 1% cups cubed Canadian ched dar cheese 4 hamburg rolls soft butter container of coleslaw Place pork and beans saucepan, mix in chili powder and chili sauce to a boil over medium heat. Re- move from. heat, stir in cheese cubes and pour into heated thermos, Meanwhile, split ham- burger rolls without separating and spread cut surfaces with soft butter. Wrap well. To fix sandwiches for eating, open bun and fill with desired amount: of bean mixture and coleslaw or serve colesiaw separately. WIFE PRESERVER Want an attractive miniature hot-bed?

I guess that's what you'd call it although it has nothing to do with the stage. When I have to recite in class-- or worse yet if 1 must give a prepared talk--I perspire and shake all over. : I am 16 and in high school. Ever since I can remember I've had this trouble. Yesterday the teacher called on me to answer a question. My heart began to pound so loud I was sure everyone in the room could hear it. My mouth felt like it was stuffed with cot- _jton and my lips moved but no voice came. After what seemed like an hour, the teacher cal- led on someone else. I hate to think of going through life scared to death to tell me how to overcome this horrible fear?--MOUSEY Dear Mousey: First, know your material cold. If you are well prepared and confident, you won't be such a nervous wreck when the teacher calls on you. Next, practice speaking aloud AWARD WINNER At the recent National Collection of Union Label fashions, Canadian fashion writers selected this -three- piece slack suit by Sterling Cloak of Winnipeg. for a fashion award in the best sportswear category. The suit is made of 100 per cent camel hair and has inset slit slacks fashioned without a side seam. The overblouse is sleeveless, the jacket casual. THAT BREAKFAST EGG The breakfast three-minute egg sometimes tends. to be- come a four-to-five-minute egg if it isn't served - immediately and-the shell opened to cool the contents. If this is a prob- lem you. have, then remove the eggs from the hot water when the cooking period is com- pleted and dip them into cold water and then serve. The cold dip will not cool them off too much but will slow down the cooking so that the eggs may be held for two or three min- utes without becoming over- cooked. open my mouth. Will you please! 'Stage Fright' Can Destroy Personality at home, before the mirror. Get accustomed to the sound of| your voice. Memorize and re- cite both prose and poems, and ask a member of your family or a friend to listen to you. Third, force yourself to get on your feet and speak out. In time the fear will vanish. I know it can be done because I have done it. Dear Ann Landers: I'm an 18-year-old girl who is going with a boy 19. We have both dated others but we prefer one lanother's company se we are now dating steadily, but not steady. Buddy and I have grown up in the same block. Our parents are friends and we go to the same church, I thought I knew all about Buddy but I learned by accident that he had dated a very cheap girl. I decided to speak to him about it. He said he was ashamed of himself and finally stammered, "'A fellow has to have two girls--one he can be proud of and wants to marry, and one for sexual rea- sons." Maybe I am_ simple-minded, but I dont' get it. I've dis- cussed this with some of my friends and was surprised to learn that they think Buddy is right. Is he?--RESPECTABLE Dear Respectable: Buddy has a low opinion of sex. In our society, sex belongs in marriage. I hope Buddy gets his thinking squared away or he may turn out to be an alley- cat type husband--unable to find satisfaction with a respect- flable woman--his wife, that is. Dear Ann Landers; I've been reading your column for years and have never seen my prob- lem in print. I'm scared to death to be alone at night and I'm no kid. Ann. I've been married 10 years and have two children. My hus- band must travel in his work and he is out of town about one- third of the time. I'm just fine when the children are at home, but when they are away at summer camp, or visiting re- latives, even for one night, I'm a nervous wreck. I toss and turn and imagine I see faces at the windows. The wind sounds like a human voice wailing and every shadow looks like a ghost. When morning comes I'm exhausted and can't do my housework. I've talked to my husband about this and he says I am a silly goose. I know he is right but it doesn't solve my prob- PETRIFIED. ali night, and keep a light on CHILD GUIDANCE Pupil Playing The Clown Is Seeking Recognition By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D In some classrooms there is a "clown," usually a boy. Now and then there may be two of them vying with each other at creating attention and laughter from other children. This clown, or pair of them, may be known in the whole school for carrying on this act from grade to grade. The classroom clown can be a source of considerable dis- turbance in his group and an exasperation to his teacher. He's rarely a superior pupil in regular achievement, though he may be average in it or far be- low average. Failing at regu- lar school performance, he may hit on ways of clowniag as a kind of smoke screen, in order to cover up his feelings of in- adequacy. TEACHER CURBS CLOWN Sometimes the classroom clown discovers he can seem to other children to be '"'smart" and daring by doing or saving what he knows will puzzle or frustrate his teacher. If. she allows herself to be easily an- noyed without finding effective means to curb his clowning, he may have the urge to go on inventing new ways to 4nnoy her. The alert teacher who easily spots the clown or smart aleck and keeps her poise and shows no uncertainty, may have no great problem with this clown. If the classroom clown has a keen sense of humor, he may specialize at playing tricks on his teacher. If she also has a good sense of humor, she may laugh with the clown and with the other children. But if she is inclined to consider all tricks on her as personal insults, she may lose out, not only with the clown but also with the other children. These other children will expect her to draw the line, and then be decisive. No one could make a good rule for her| in dealing with the classroom clown. A PRIVATE TALK More often than not this classroom clown will choose to utter some expression or per- form some antic which he is sure will bring a laugh from all or at least some of the other children. Sometimes he will purposely make an error in ex- pression, meant to cause a laugh in the classroom. Of course, the teacher might, with a cutting or sarcastic word, or some other measure, deeply humiliate this clown.) Extreme emergencies might| warrant her doing this. But she} would be wiser, as a rule, to} in the hall outside your bed-| wait and talk privately with} would explain to him why she} had been so patient--that she| did not wish to humiliate him painfully. She also would add that unless he watched himself and tried to do better, she would have to be severe, however costly to him. Furthermore, the teacher might try to discover strong and desirable traits in this child, and strive over the next few weeks, to build on these strengths of his, She would as- sume that he yearns to show off and get attention.. If she can help him do so in ways that she and his classmates might approve, she's on her way to victory. SHOW-OFF AT HOME There's the child who in the home tries to get attention, even temporary admiration of other children by clowning, showing-off, and becoming ob- noxious, especially to his par- ents. Several children drop in at your home. Your child then may try to show off, speak ugly to you or disobey you. He's try- ing to show how brave and free he is. You may be very toler- ant then; let him go on un- rebuked or unpunished. Later in private, make clear to him why you were so lenient but. that you won't be hence- forth. This should seem fair to im.

Would you let your child of elementary school age have a charge account at a "sweet" store? A. No, nor at any other store. Sewing Room Is Wives' Hide-Away She Has Been Hired Now, She Worries If She's Competent |" By ROBERTA ROESCH "T've' just been hired for al® secretarial job that's so loaded with opportunity it's almost too good to be true," a woman I know said the other day. "But now that the thriil of being hired is over, I'm getting cold feet about whether or not I'll be able to manage. Frankly, I'm starting to live in fear be- cause I've been away from the job world so long. : "As a result, I'm afraid I'll do something to lose the job. I am afraid people already work- ing in the office won't like me or won't be friendly. And I'm afraid my young children at home will get sick so often they'll make me an absentee too much." The woman went on to say she's afraid she'll get sick her- self if she finds the job too much, She's also afraid she won't be able to manage a home and a job as well as other people do. And, finally, she's afraid that, even with the job's potential opportunity, she may not get ahead as fast as other people do. Her whole attitude is im- mature--to put it as bluntly as it has. to be said. So if this is an attitude that you embrace, change your whole approach. One way to change this ap- proach and be mature instead of immature is to plunge into whatever you face and work as hard at it as you can without worrying about what may hap- pen until it happens. ON PAST EXPERIENCE As women in the past have found, when you're working at a job instead of worrying about it, fears don't grow as fast. A second way to cut down on immature fears is to put into proper perspective the goal to- ward which you're working or the reason for which you are ACMA neem on Jpeople instead of worrying about whether they'll be friends to you.
