# Season’s Best
Dishes

for 2 or 4 or 6
By Mary Lee Taylor

[Pg 2]

Dear Friend,

The cookies you make, the candies, the special dishes—even the very smell of them baking or cooking—are things your family will remember long after the holidays.

It takes time, of course, to make these good things—but with the recipes in this booklet, it will take much less time. For instance, those delicious Butterscotch Balls and Coconut Kisses are so simple to make there need never be an empty candy jar. If there’s a “junior” cook at your house, let her try them—she’ll be so proud of her success.

You will be famous for your cookies when you serve fruity Pineapple Date Bars, or rich, tender Holiday Crescents—which are merely shaped into half-moons, not rolled. Mincemeat Cup Cakes are almost little fruit cakes—and Easy Fruit Coffee Cake is so quickly made with yeast and biscuit-mix you could have it for a festive Christmas breakfast.

When friends drop in, entertaining’s easy with Bacon Rarebit—or with Cheese Chips in the icebox, all ready to slice and bake at a moment’s notice. I haven’t forgotten your Christmas dinner—there’s a Potato Stuffing for the holiday bird, a baking chart to make it a complete success, a delicious vegetable and a new salad dressing.

Perhaps you’re thinking all these good things take extra amounts of expensive butter and cream. Quite the opposite! Pet Milk actually saves on butter because it’s whole milk concentrated to double richness. In fact, you can use it in place of cream for whipped toppings, desserts and for coffee—at less than half the cost of cream. Even when mixed with an equal amount of water, Pet Milk is rich, wholesome milk that costs less generally than ordinary milk.

I know these recipes will help you serve the best of Christmas treats—and I send them with my wishes for the happiest of holidays.

Sincerely,

Mary Lee Taylor (signature)

## Bringing up a Baby?

The lovable little rascal calls for plenty of attention ... especially in the feeding department, doesn’t he? And you’ll be giving him the right kind of attention, when you give your baby Pet Milk in his formula.

Pet Milk is right for baby, every way. Right, because it’s uniformly rich in all the important food substances of whole milk. Right, because it’s so very easy for baby to digest. Right, because it’s as surely safe in its sealed container as if there were no germ of disease in the world.

Pet Milk is right, too, because it’s fortified with pure crystalline vitamin D—the very same kind of vitamin D that bright sunshine would provide for babies if they could get enough sunshine. It’s the combination of vitamin D and the calcium and phosphorus so richly supplied by Pet Milk that helps your baby to develop straight strong bones, sound teeth ... and to have the best of growth.

No wonder Pet Milk is so right for baby! No wonder doctors all over America recommend Pet Milk for babies who need to have milk from a bottle. If you’re bringing up a baby, ask your doctor about Pet Milk.

1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
