This month Cooky's guest is Mrs. Lucia Hryciw. She has brought with her some marvelous ideas about how to entertain youngsters. They, says our guest, just like adults, like to have a good time in the pleasant company of their peers, especially if the party is pre pared suitably to their age group. Mrs. Hryciw advises that if the little guests are five year olds, the room in which the party is to be held should be decorated somewhat as a classroom. Children should be kept busy with paper, crayons, pencils, paste, etc. Food should be colorful — gaily decorated cake with alphabet letters, or cookies with numbers. 8 to 10 year olds like to prepare a party themselves, claims our guest.They should be allowed to do it, but under supervision, says Cooky. For a do-it- yourself party, Mrs. Hryciw urges that no more than 4 to 5 children be invited. A favorite with youngsters is cookie baking, and our guest gives us an easy recipe: Ingredients 2 y 2 cups of sifted flour 1 1/2 teasp. baking powder 1 cup butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 egg (lightly beaten) 1 teasp. vanilla sugar 1/4 cup chopped nuts 1 1/2 ounce sweet chocolate )melted) Method Mix flour with baking powder. Mix butter with electric beater together with egg, vanilla sugar and sugar. Add flour mixture and knead by hand till well mixed. Divide into two portions: add nuts and chocolate to one portion only. Form both portions of dough into a roll and refrigirate for a few hours. Now it is ready for children to cut out the cookies and bake them on a well greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 400°. They will have two kinds of cookies, chocolate and plain, and kids love variety. It is important that the small bakers clean up after they have finished their work.. For pre-teens our guest advises an activity party. For boys — a ball game in the park and afterwards a simple meal — hot dogs on rolls with sauerkraut, potato chips, cookies, juice or soda. But plenty, plenty of everything. For girls, a great idea is a pyjama party. And everyone's favority food of course — pizza; Mrs. Hryciw gives us a zesty recipe. Ingrediens 1 package dry yeast 1 cup warm water 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons oil 2 1/2 cups flour Filling 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 can (8 oz.) tomato souce 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/8 cup parmezan cheese 1 teaspoon oregano Method Dissolve yeast in water; add all other ingredients and mix well; allow dough to rest for 5 minutes, while preparing filling. Divide dough into 2 parts; spread on greased 10-12 inch round baking plates; cover dough with 1/2 of the filling and sprinkle with the cheeses and oregano. Bake 20-25 minutes at 425. Mrs. Hryciw feels that there is no need to plan entertainment for girls at a pyjama party. They will have a good time by themselves, trying on clothes, high heel shoes, devising new hair-do's and generally whispering and giggling late into the night. cont. Interesting Career more pleasant.... However, some people get hired and leave every few months... People move around a great deal from one to another firm and in and out of governm ent jobs. — How about you Marussia? Aren't you getting itching feet by now? You have been working with them for about two years? Oh no! I am not planning to leave. Not now! I have wide exposure to a variety of subject matters and problems and I have a cooperative environment. I learn a lot — which is im portant on the first job. Having a good working environm ent saves a lot of energy jug gling for position; and energy is what I need to do my job..." — Marrusia's voice became softer and tired. I reacted: — Tired, I suppose? I said. "Well, the only real drawback some m ight find with this kind of work are the unpredictable hours. While I m ight work from 9-5 most days, I couldn't begin to count the evenings and week-ends I've spent to get the work done on time... You never go home with the feeling that your work is done... No matter how we try to pace ourselves, there are always long hours before deadlines — much like school..." — "M uch like school..." I thought — "like school"... All of a sudden I found myself daydreaming. It was some seventeen years ago when I first came to New York. Marussia's parents were my sponsors. In their tiny apartment five of us mingled, whirled, lived. It was a "com m une" par excellence. Marussia was then in elementary school... "Those were the days, my friend... we thought they'll never end,.." The years went by... Marussia is a young woman now. Young professional. НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, ТРАВЕНЬ 1975 23
