SERVE MOCK SUKIYAKI FOR A
REVOLUTIONARY BARBECUE PARTY
Simplicity is the keynote to Japanese cooking, and canned
convenience foods combined with the Japanese hibachi are the
secrets behind our amazing ease of preparation.
Sukiyaki (pronounced ski-ah-kee) is no exception and easily
will become your favorite company dish prepared with flair on the
traditional hibachi barbecue grill, or in an electric skillet with
canned beef gravy.
To prepare this oriental dinner in traditional style, have all
your ingredients laid out on a tray . . . thinly sliced beef, diag-
onally sliced celery, green onion strips, sliced mushrooms, and
fresh spinach. It takes only a little over 5 minutes for the beef
and vegetables to simmer to juicy doneness in the delicious soy
flavored canned beef gravy sauce.
Individual bowls of rice and chilled Mandarin oranges com-
plete the dinner along with additional soy and, of course, the
customary tea. For fun, let everyone try his hand at chopsticks.

and, another thing is, please
excuse while I apologize to a
very nice guy . . . Bob Morris.
He got left out in the cold when
members of Kermit School Board
were named in the Thursday
story of the Board meeting when
all the other guys were named
as being present.
Truth is, Bob was there bigas
life and taking a great interest
in things School Board mem-
bers are supposed to do.
Guess I was working too fast
and not carefully enough.
Betcha he’s never omitted
again.
Methinks this amusement fea-
ture has been printed before . ,.
several years ago. But, it’s still
a good family or class project
and quite simple.

no hunks of coal around one

briquets or pieces of brick.

lumps of whatever you’re using that much of the credit can go
in a leak-proof bowl and slowly to Winkler County Historical
pour the mixture over them.
With a medicine dropper add
drops of coloring (using ink,
food coloring or mercurochrome
. . . but never iodine). That’s all.
If some places do not form
crystals, drop on a little more
water or ammonia. Greasing the
bowl helps keep the crystals
from growing out of the contain-
er.
Set aside and watch the fun.
