From Halli’s Kitchen — (Frá Halli’s Eldhús) ello again, it’s time to come up with some ideas for some daily meal suggestions. First I would like to tell you about how I came to be interested in cooking. In 1952, I joined the Seattle Fire Department and was assigned to station #18 in the community of Ballard. I was assigned to engine #18, which shared the station with ladder #8 and battalion chief #4. This made a crew of ten men on shift at a time, and we had a dinner clutch on the day shifts. The cook when I came to the station, was Dave Foster and he had been a Navy cook during the Second World War. The usual procedure after completing the station house work in the moming, was to gather in the beanery (kitchen) for 10 o’clock cof- fee, and one day Dave asked me to give him a hand peel- ing potatoes. I was Dave’s helper off and on for two years, and then one day Dave decided to quit the department and start his own business. I was elected to take his place and was the cook for sixteen years. The only perks that the cook got, was that he didn’t have any watches on the day shift and they didn’t detail you to other duties. Our mid- day meals were basically soups and bean dishes, this was so the guys wouldn’t eat to heavy, and not eat when they got home, this was to prevent unhappy wives. We had four Icelanders in the department, my brother - in-law Clarence Melsted, Dick Chester and Ray MESSUBOÐ Fyrsta Lúterska Kirkja Pastor Ingthor I.

After twenty-four years with the Fire Department I was forced to retire, because of heart trouble. It took some adjusting, to be put out to pasture at the age of forty-six. by Halli arrots will kill you! Every carrot brings you closer to death. Carrots are associated with all the major diseases of the body. Eating them breeds communism. They can be related to most airline tragedies. Auto accidents are caused by carrots. There exists a positive relationship between crime waves and consumption of this vegetable. For example: • Nearly all sick people have eaten carrots. The effects are obviously cumulative. • 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten carrots. • 96.8% of all Red sympathiz- ers have eaten carrots. • 99.9% of all people involved in air and auto accidents ate carrots within 60 days prior to the accident. ’• 93.1% of juvenile delin- quents come from homes where When I entered my wife’s domain, we had to make some compromises and I took over the kitchen duties. It took some time to adjust from three gallons at a time to just a quart for two peo- carrots are served. Evidence points to the long-term effects of carrot eating. • Of the people born in 1839 who later dined on carrots, there has been a 100% mortali- ty rate. • All carrot eaters born between 1849 and 1859 have wrinkled skin, britde bones and failing eyesight, if the ills of eat- ing carrots have not already caused their untimely death. • Rats force-fed with 20 pounds of carrots per day for 30 days developed bulging abdomens. Their appetites for wholesome foods were destroyed. The only way to avoid the deleterious effects of carrot eat- ing is to change our eating habits. Eat orchid petal soup. Practically no one has had any problems from eating orchid petal soup. ple. I think the greatest chal- lenge in the kitchen, is to put forth a variety in our diets.

Halli’s Chili w/out meat 2 Ibs. small red kidney beans 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 small can mushrooms, cut small 3 buttons garlic, chopped small 1 qt. tomato juice 1 28oz. can chopped tomatoes about 4 tsp. Chili powder, Black pepper if desired Salt? The tomato juice is salty, check before adding more. Sort and wash beans, add enough water to cover, soak overnight, in the morning, pour off water through colander and wash with cold water, again add enough water to cover and cook for 1 hour, check beans for tenderness, if needed cook till done, pour off water through colander and rinse, wash pot and return beans again to the pot and set aside. Chop the onion fairly fine, put in a frying pan with a cou- ple of tbsp. of water and sauté till transparent, add mush- rooms and garlic, warm through, add to the beans, with chopped tomatoes and juice; stir well and return to the burner and bring to a boil, stirring often, so beans will not stick and burn to the bottom; when it starts to boil, turn it to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes; add chili powder stir well, again let simmer for about an hour, check the seasonings hotness; at this point it should be ready to eat. If meat is desired, use the leanest ground round (9% or less fat) the ratio of meat to beans is 1 Ib. meat to 1 Ib. beans. To use sauté with onión, garlic and mushrooms, and add as above. This is a mild chili, I found that it’s better to let those that like it hotter, to add tobasco sauce. The ladies and children will eat if not too hot. The reason for changing the water so often is to get rid of sugars on the outside of the beans, that cause gas in the stomach. Some people like green peppers and other veggies in their chili, be creative, don’t be afraid of experimenting. Serves 8 lcelandic Bagels for a treat
