Country Cooking 4^^
‘By Judy Screws
#bttuarte£
One of the perks of this job is the
nice people I get to meet. During the
last few months, with county and
local elections taking place, I have
been fortunate enough to meet more
new people than normal. Of all those
who came in doing election busi-
ness, only one admitted to being a
cook. I was able to get him to promise
that I could feature him as the coun-
try cook just as soon as the elections
were all finished. I collected on that
promise this week.
Mr. J.R. Lewis is the newly elected
Red River County Justice of The
Peace. He and his wife, Martha, own
a grocery store and Bar B Q business
in Clarksville. They will be selling
the business so that he may devote all
of his time to his new duties.
I really enjoyed meeting Mrs.
Lewis, and visiting again with Mr.
Lewis. The area of their business in
which folks eat is quite compact, but
every inch of space is utilized effec-
tively. When they told me how much
food they prepare fresh daily, I asked
how many people they could seat.
One of them, I'm not sure which,
said, "We can seat 700 people,
eleven at a time." I Still don't know
how many people they serve, but I'll
bet that anyone who comes in has a
good time.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have two
daughters. LuAnne Major and her
husband, Mike, have the Lewises only
grandchild, Becky. Amy Lewis is the
younger daughter. J.R. told me that
when Amy was in elementary school
she came home one afternoon and
told him that she was supposed to
carry a batch of cookies to class the
next day so everyone could share
them. He got out his tea cake recipe,
they rolled them out, cut them out in
all sorts of different shapes, used
food coloring and decorated them so
that she would enjoy sharing the pretty
cookies with her classmates. When
she came home from school the next
day, she still had all her cookies still
wrapped and uneaten. He said he
asked her why her cookies weren't
eaten. At this time in his story, I
began to feel sorry for the little girl
because I thought he was going to say
that the teacher wouldn't use them
because she thought they came from
a bakery or some otherdisappointing
thing for a young child, but it seems
that Amy got to thinking about it and
decided that she and her dad worked
too hard on those cookies and she just
wanted to keep them herself, so she
brought them back home and didn't
open them in class.
Mr. Lewis does woodworking. He
carves delicate and intricate pieces
from bass wood. He must be unbe-
lievably patient. He makes his own
carving knives, since they must be
razor sharp and he needs them to be
just right. The woodcraft work I saw
is beautiful. This was one of the very
few times I felt envious of someone.
I envy him the patience it takes to do
such beautiful work.
J. R. loves to bake sweets. He is
sharing his Orange Slice Cake , his
Hot Fudge Pic, and his Old Fash-
ioned Teacakes recipes with us this
week. My mouth is watering al-
ready.
I want to thank Martha and J.R.
Lewis for letting me visit with them
this week. It was really a pleasure.
Have a good week.

Curd of ‘Pianos
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray or
flowers
If so , we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, -
as any friend would say.
Perhaps you were not there at all,
just praying for us that day.
Whatever you did to console our
hearts,
we thank you so much, for every part.
