Southeast Alaska can be a
gourmet's 1 >ig-roek-candy
mountain. It otters in abun
dance coveted and even un
ique raw materials tor gast
ronomic delights (berries,
seafood, wild game). Much
of it yours for the finding &
taking, if you're agile and
eagle-eyed enough.
The catch, of course, is:
It may take years of Alaskan
resdrence, insatiable eurois
ity & imagination & a fam
ily with caste-iron stomachs
to evolve a true Alaskan
chef. Luckily for us pedes
trian, over-civilized, three
hurry-up-meals-a-day cooks,
there are such fabulous peo
ple.0 So we hereby stake
clame to this corner of
the Baranof Banner for a
weekly tendering of at least
one Alaskan recipe for Ala
skans.

When making little girl's
dresses put a one-half inch
tuck on the under side of the
hem. They are then easy to
lengthen and the tuck does
not show.
When you get a new gar
ment touch the center button
with transparent nail polish.
This seals the threads so they
won’t unravel a lifesaver
for men's shirts!
