\ ...... , PAGE 10 THE SENTINEL THURSDAY, JUNE 8,1989 From My Mo '5 Cupboard (9 • by Lena B. Carosa Strawberry Memories June is popular for weddings and graduations, but for me the best part of June is strawberries. Ambrosia is known as \the fruit of the gods,\ but somewhere along the way, the Greeks missed the straw- berry. Itshould be called \Super Strawberry\ since it is so low in calories, only 200 calories in a full quart It is also high in vitamin C. They taste just as good without sugar; and any strawberry dessert has a beautiful and appealing appearance. Berries have been wilderness food, helping many a lost person sur- vive. They provided vitamins and sustenance long !>Clore vitamins and their names had yet to be discovered. Berries brought joy and variety to the early colonists' monotonous menus. They also inspired poets through the ages, for example, the 16th century poet Thomas Tusser's admonition: \Set strawberries, wife, I love them for life\ is as convincing sounding now as when the words were written. Though many berries, especially strawberries, are cultivated commercially, berries still have the sense or feeling of the wild about them. The taste of many wild berries are incomparable to the cultivated variety. When my sons were young, we lived near fields where wild berries grew. They always looked forward to the early summer days, when we took our baskets,left civilization (suburbia) and walked deep into the fields to retrace the steps of the Indians who lived on this land. These were the same fIelds where their father as a young boy picked strawberries. As we picked strawberries, we dramatized many events of our Indian ancestors and especially their Dad's. The walk home, although long and tiring, was always worth it, because we knew Dad would be bringing home soft ice cream to eat with fresh strawberries. It also meant fresh strawberry jam and home made bread. Strawberries - good food - good memories. Care or Strawberries Do not soak strawberries. Wash in colander to remove sand and drain. Remove hull just before serving. Store uncovered in refrigerator one to two days. They may be frozen with or without sugar. Freezing Berries Loose pack (sugarless).- Spread berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet Freeze until firm. Place in freezer bags or containers.

Banana Cake with Creamy Strawberry Fluff 213 cup shortening 2 1/2 cups Cake flour I 213 cups sugar I V4 tsp. baking powder I tsp. soda Safe Storage for Chemicals Now that the wann summer weather has fmally arrived, everyone is sCrambling to clean up their yards, dig up the gardens, and uncover the pools. It's time to fertilize the lawns, plant flow- ers and vegetables, and to pull out the patio furniture. The springtime ritual of sprucing up the place is in full swing. Many of us have already been to the garden store to buy fertilizer or to the pool supply store to purchase chlorine and cleaning chemicals to open the pool for the summer. These items are brought home and are stored in a comer of the garage until the time is available to use them. Storage of chlorine and lawn and garden chemicals is someth ing that is often overlooked. While everyone remembers to keep them out of reach of children, we hope, not everyone consid- ers the dangers that result when these items are involved in fire. Burning chlorine, along with a majority of lawn and garden products, produce toxic clouds when exposed to ftre. Depending on wind and weather conditions, a ftre involving small quantities of these items could force the evacuation of the neighborhood. Care must be taken when choosing a storage area. These items should never be placed near flammable products. Proximity to hot motors on appliances as well as to heaters should be considered. If your garage is attached to the house and you plan on storing these supplies in the garage, choose a comer that is the farthest point away from the house. NEVER store these materials in your basement A small ftre in the basement involving chlorine or lawn and garden products could produce enough fumes to seriously con- taminate the entire house. Anyone exposed to these fumes before escaping the house could develop serious respiratory problems requiring hospitalization. While the storage of lawn and garden products is usually temporary, people with pools must store chlorine throughout the summer months. It would be extremely helpful to your Fire Depart- ment knowing that chlorine is stored inside a building involved in a fire. A sign on the outside of a building that is used to store chlo- rine would provide the firefighters sufficient warning to re-act ap- propriately. Remember also, the smaller the quantity, the better. If at all possible, only store enough chlorine to last a couple of weeks. A fIre involving a whole summer's supply is dangerous. 1. Combine dry ingredients.
