Jim Albrecht “The other important element in good cooking is great blends,” he adds. “A great flavor sensation should be such a tight blend of ingredients or seasonings that you can’t pick it apart. Take Coca Cola for example. There are over 50 ingredients in Coca cola and most people can’t detect more than five. “Most food cooks achieve great blends by trial and error, which is nothing more than standing over the stove, adding a pinch of this and a dash of that, tasting it all the while until the flavor is just right.”

in Tonight’s menu featured Jim’s own chili and go-withs, a light fruit salad with a sweet poppy seed dressing, and a delicious pecan pie served with fresh coffee. “The secret to my chili,” says Jim, “is the Italian sausage – mild or hot, depending on your preference. That’s what makes the difference.” Jim also claims to have a notorious sweet tooth. “But as much as I love desserts, I don’t often make them myself. But I do make this pecan pie recipe which is quite simple.

This is
how a 24-year-old Marine
looks after 26 months in the South Pacific.
He’s PFC. Harry Snyder, and we wish we had a similar
picture of him as
he looked three years ago when he walked out of our stockroom to put on
the
uniform of the toughest fighting men in the world.
If we had such a picture, we’d put it up
