FRESH MUSHROOM SALAD

1 T clarifed butter in skillet
Add 4 strips of bacon cut in crosswise 1/4" strips
Do not drain.  Add one onion and fry till bacon and onion are just barely done.
Slice 6 oz. of fresh mushrooms into serving bowl.
Squeeze one lemon's juice over
Sprinkle with chopped chives and salt to taste
Pour bacon mixture over all and serve immediately.

This is all right.  I don't think I'd make it again, although I love bacon!

1-3/4 cups flour

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 T grated orange rind
1 T orange juice
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

350 oven.  Bring orange juice to boil and pour over oats.  Set aside.  Cream butter and sugars until light.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Sift flur, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon together.  Add to butter-sugar mixture alternately with oats.  Stir in rind and nuts and pour into 13 X 9 greased baking dish.  Bake 40 minutes.  (Glass dish, use 325 oven)

This cake is very nice for a change with the orange flavor.  Adding Cool Whip is good on this.
