The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies. A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness. God sends many beautiful things to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows in a mother who has learned love's lessons well, and has realized something of the meaning of her sacred calling.

INSTRUCTIONS

SALAD
PEANUT-COCONUT MILK DRESSING
SALAD: Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, carrot & cucumber in a salad
bowl & lightly toss.  Add the bean curd & sprouts. Top with the peanut-
coconut milk dressing & garnish with potato chips. DRESSING: In saucepan
over medium heat, stir the coconut milk & red curry paste together until
the mixture turns to a pale amber & a thin coat of oil appears on the
surface. Add the remaining ingredients & stir over a low heat for 7 to 10
minutes, or until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The colour will
be a pale cocoa brown. Let cool to room temperature for 1 hour before
serving with the salad. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a
month, but it does have a tendency to thicken.  To bring it back to its
correct consistency, add 1/2 ts to 1 tb white vinegar & stir vigorously.
