Selection, Care of Mushrooms
Americans have doubled
their consumption of a cer-
tain fungus-the mushroom-
in the past 10 years.
Mushrooms are nutritious,
tow in calories and can be
used in a variety of ways.
The mushroom is the
fruiting portion of a fungus
mold. It is classified as a
vegetable and is available
fresh, canned, frozen and
in limited amounts-
freeze-dried.
Fresh mushrooms are
sized by "cap" diameters.
"Specials" are from one
and one-fourth inches to
one and one-half inches
are best for stuffing.
"Mediums" or "Fancys"
are one inch to one and one-
fourth inches. "Buttons"
are less than one inch in
diameter and are best for
slicing or chopping.
Unlike other vegetables,
size is not an indication of
quality. Large mushrooms
are just as tender as the
small ones. They also look
more appealing and
generally cost more.
Mushrooms with closed
"veils are the freshest.
However, they are still
good after the veil has
opened, revealing the gills.
Avoid mushrooms with
badly bruised or pitted
caps. Mushrooms range in
color from white to brown,

with color having little ef-
fect on quality or flavor as
long as they have not tur-
ned black.
Mushrooms purchased in
film-sealed containers
should be refrigerated in
the cartons until prepared.
Puncture one or two holes
(pencil size) in the film to
insure air movement in the
container. Fresh
mushrooms purchased in
bulk can be refrigerated in
plastic bags as long as
there is proper air cir-
culation. Wash mushrooms
gently just prior to use and
let drain or pat dry. All of
the mushrooms are usable;
no peeling is necessary.
Canned mushrooms are
practical for most
mushroom dishes. Portion
control is easy because
there is a variety of can
sizes to choose from.

Salting vegetables shortly

their structure and help

Don't Open
A well packed freezer
will hold the product for
many hours even if the unit
is not operating. Normally,
power failures are short in
duration and no food
thawing results. If the
power is off do not open the
freezer as this will hasten
thawing. Telephone or
otherwise determine when
the power will be turned on
again.
Sometimes freezer
failure is discovered only
when a homemaker goes to
the freezer to get
something. If this occurs,
condition of the food should
be determined im-
mediately. Discard all
foods that are thawed and

warm, since extensive bac-
terial growth may have
taken place.
Foods may be saved if
they remain frozen; or if
they are thawed but very
cold, about 40 degrees
farenheit, and have been
held no longer than 1 or 2
days at refrigerator tem-
peratures after thawing.
Bacteria grows only slowly
in thawed but cold foods.
Prompt refreezing of
thawed cold foods will
lower the quality but not
result in spoilage or
danger. If you have doubt
as to whether the foods are
cold or warm, throw them
out as the safest course.
Once condition of the
foods is determined, plan
fast for the next step. If the
freezer can't be repaired
quickly, make
arrangements to move the
food to a commercial
locker plant or another
freezer. To do so, package
the products closely
together in paper bags.
Place these in cardboard
cartons lined and covered
with newspapers for in-
sulation, and transfer them
immediately.
Another way to save the
freezer load is to use dry
ice in the freezer itself. Dry
ice must be handled with
gloves to prevent burns.
Also keep in mind that car-
bon dioxide gas evolves as
dry ice evaporates, and can
cause unconsciousness if
allowed to concentrate.
When transporting dry
ice, leave a car window
open at least several in-
ches. If you use dry ice in
the freezing compartment,
make sure a nearby win-
dow is cracked open. When
packing dry ice into a
freezer, figure on 25 to 30
pounds to do the job. Don't
break up the ice any more
than necessary.
To summarize, frozen
foods are seldom involved
in food spoilage or food
poisoning. Even so,
mechanical devices oc-
casionally fail, and freezer
owners should have
prearranged plans for such
an emergency. Preventive
maintenance will help
reduce the likelihood of
failure. If a failure results
in food becoming thawed
and warm,
safety.
discard it for

Rusk Twirlers
To Compete
Members of the Rusk
Twirling Academy will
compete Saturday, Jan 30
in the Rusk Band Boosters'
20th Annual Twirling Con-
test.
The Rusk Twirling
Academy currently has
more than 60 members and
encourages them to com-
pete in at least one contest
per month.
Major goals of the
Academy are im-
provement in grace, poise
and alertness to instruc-
tion, self-confidence,
achievement of teamwork
and satisfaction of in-
dividual accomplishment.
Academy instructor
Vicki Beard is very pleased
with the progress of the
students. "The present at-
titude and spirit of the
academy students is just
outstanding. But more im-
portant to me is the fact
that they are really en-
joying themselves as they
work hard.
"I think some of the
parents are looking for-
ward to the contest more
than some of the girls
because of some very nice
new twirling outfits. We
are looking forward to an
exciting event and want to
extend an invitation to the
community to come out,"
Beard said.
