Craig Johnson celebrate his fifth

lessons and shows every indica
tion of following the footsteps of
his energetic and versatile father.
Tasty Rhubarb Is
A Sign Of Spring
One of the first harbingers of
spring in Kodiak, of course, is
the annual Clean-Up Campaign.
The busy Kodiak housewife, who
is always eager for new, quick
and easy suggestions in the culin
ary department, is delighted to
find another harbinger of spring,
fresh rhubarb, or as the old-timers
say ‘spring tonic.’ We owe a vote
of thanks to Mrs. Lillian Radinsky,
who refers to herself as the ‘Poor
Man’s Betty Crocker,’ for the new
pie recipe which we are happy to
pass along to all readers:
Creamy
Rhubarb Pie
1 egg, beaten
1 cup, thick cultured sour
cream
1 to 2 cups sugar (depending
on how sweet you like it)
Vi teaspoon salt .
3 tablespoons quick cooking
tapioca
1 9” unbaked pie 6hell
3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
Pour chopped rhubarb into un
baked pie shell. Mix together egg,
sugar, cream, salt and tapioca,
pour over rhubarb. Bake in hot
oven (425) for 15 minutes then
reduce heat to moderate (350)
for 25 minutes. Better to make
two pies, there will be requests
for seconds.
While your oven is hoi, here is
another practical idea Lillian
passed on to us, if you have an
extra amount of rhubarb.
Oven
Rhubarb Sauce
Place 4 cups rhubarb, in baking
dish. Heat 1 cup sugar and Vk cup
water until sugar is dissolved,
pour sugar syrup over rhubarb.
Bake along with your pie at 350
degrees for 30 minutes. This can
be used as plain rhubarb sauce,
as an interesting topping for ice
cream, to be used in rhubarb
cream pie, or put into your freez
er for future use. „

Junior Class will offer fresh home
