Men Can Cook --And Here's How

Elmer E. Shively of the Omaha Printing company is another male cook who has contributed an out-door recipe for sports-men and picnickers.  The recipe is sufficient to serve three or four people and is called "Grand Camp Scramble".

Fry six or eight slices of bacon and save half the drippings.  Mince two fair sized onions and mix onions, nine eggs and half cup of milk together in a bowl.  Turn into sizzling bacon grease, and whip into light fluffy scramble with a large camp spoon.

Until the north winds blow the other direction, try this recipe for a late evening lunch or Sunday evening supper -- it's sure to be popular.  The World-Herald cook recipe exchange for the benefit of males, who either like to cook or like to eat, is open day and night.  Send your favorite recipe to Male Cook Recipe editor.
