Have a Great Fall
By Arleen Kaptur

Summer memories are lingering in the back of our minds, but Fall or Autumn (whichever you 
prefer) is, in its own right, beginning to show off - with bright colors, harvest aromas, 
and that wonderfully exhilerating chill in the morning hours and that quilt-hugging breeze 
in the evening. 

Apples are the ambassadors for Fall:

Quick Fall Dip: 
1 pkg. (8 ozs.) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup salted peanuts, chopped
red/golden delicious apples
orange juice 

Blend together all ingredients except apples and orange juice. Wash and slice apples leaving 
the skin on. Dip in orange juice. Drain well. Arrange in a circle around your bowl of apple 
dip. Refrigerate any leftovers. 

*** Quilts are not just to be used as bed covers. Enjoy them in other rooms in your home as 
well. Use a light padded one as a table covering or on the back of a rocking chair or 
occasional chair. Place them within easy reach near a fireplace or sofa, so family or guests 
can curl up and enjoy a crisp evening. Use them where your bookcases are as a good book, 
comfortable chair, and a cozy quilt go hand in hand. Fleece throws and blankets work well 
too. 

*** Use raffia or fall ribbon as curtain tie-backs or to add a bit of color at the end of 
curtain or drapery rods. Scatter felt or silk autumn leaves in all the wonderful colors on 
tables, or shelves. Cut out a pattern from some leaves you find in your back yard and then 
transfer to felt or colorful fall material. Sew or glue onto potholders and placemats. Add 
some flannel between two leaves, sew together and use as hot pads or coasters for drinks. 

*** Near entryways and especially back doors that everyone uses - place some colorful fleece 
scarves in orange, yellow, and purple. Cut from a piece of fleece and cut a fringe at the 
ends - remember fleece does not ravel so don't be afraid to cut. Everyone walking out will 
have a great scarf for a bit of added warmth. Place in a basket or box that you have 
decorated with fall foliage/colors, and designs. 

*** Have fun this Fall and let your imagination, creativity, and enthusiasm create wonderful 
accents for home and the great outdoors. ENJOY!

Spoonburgers
By Mrs. Guy Hayes 

1 Tbsp. melted butter
1 lb. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup catsup
1 can mushroom soup

Place butter in skillet and turn on medium heat. Place chopped onion in pan and fry until 
brown. Add ground beef and fry until brown and tender. Add salt, catsup, mixing well. Then 
add mushroom soup, turn heat on low and cook for 3 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add 
1/4 cup water. This also makes a good sauce for rice, potatoes, etc. Serves 4.

An old recipe from a cookbook compiled by the ladies of the Woman's Society of Christian 
Service of St. Timothy's Methodist Church in Lexington, NC--1965.
