After moving to their new apartment on the ground floor, Jim is hesitant to leave his wife alone as he attends a veterans meeting. Sally seems a little thrilled at the news at hearing about a burglary in the neighborhood. She finally convinces Jim that she isn’t afraid, and he should go to his meeting. Might there sign that the burglar may still be on the prowl?
Assuring Jim that she’ll have someone stay with her, Jim departs. As the evening rolls on, her company, the land lady’s son Spud, steps out, and Sally soon has a reason to be alarmed when she hears a noise. Handling the burglar with her usual charm, he gets away with her rings and a guilty conscience. Only Spud is wise to the burglar, and Sally makes it their own little secret.
The incident bothers Sally, and in facing Jim the next morning, she begins to confess. Before she does, let’s just say her optimism for the human race is restored when the burglar is caught, and her rings are returned. But don’t think it’s as simple as all that, enjoy the surprise twists that make Sally’s day.
Mary Lee shares the recipe of the day and economical homemaking tips.
Chocolate Coconut Pudding
1 Packaged pudding powder
1c/ Pet milk
3/4c. Water
1c. Shredded coconut
1tsp. Vanilla
Put pudding powder in a saucepan, stir in the milk and water. Bring to a boil, stir constantly. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Rinse 4 custard cups or jello molds with cold water (See note). Fill the cups with pudding. Cover and chill until firm.
When ready to serve, turn out and serve. Cover with the coconut.
Variation: Use coffee in place of water. Or use other flavors of pudding powder.
Note: Rinsing with cold water helps pudding turn out of the cups better.
