DEVISING MEAL ‘FOR TWO FUN, || BUT NOT EASY

Qutlining Menus for Several Days in Advance Is Suggested.

‘Planning meals for two is fun, but no easy thing. The amount of

money you can afford to spend for | -

your food naturally will influence your choice of meats and vegetables.

Also your ability as a cook and the amount of help you have in your kitchen enters into the planning of meals, whether they be for two or more. Over and above this, you must see to it that your meals are well balanced. This means that each meal should furnish food from three distinct classes. First are the fuel foods to supply heat and energy for the activities of the body. Foods rich in sugar, starch and fat come in this class. Second, there must be growing foods to supply material for the building and repair of body tissues. These are the foods rich in pron like meat and eggs. Third are e protective ‘foods, containing mineral constituents and vitamins and adding bulk. Vegetables, fruits, milk and whole grains make up this group.

Outline Week's Menus

You can manage greater variety and you will do your planning more competently and economically if you sit down with paper and pencil and outline your meals for several days or even a week in advance,

Decide on the meats for a week. Then fill in with potatoes cooked in various ways and other seasonal cooked vegetables. . Next work out lunches for the week, using up left-overs as much as possible and supplying the second protein food—provided a protein was not served for breakfast. Take care to avoid repetition in breakfast fruits and cereals. It won't cost a bit more to keep several different kinds of cereals open, using first one kind and then another, than to open one box and use it up all before opening another. If you have a toast and ¢offee breakfast, vary the breadstuff frequently, In order to include two servings of fruit jelly daily, plan fruits for luncheon and dinner in the form of cocktails, salads and desserts.

Visualize Your Menus

Finally in your menu planning, decide on the salads, desserts, breadstuffs and relishes. All the time you are planning menus; visualize them. Pay special attention to contrast by color and texture. Avoid using colors in the same meal that clash. Take care not to repeat foods of distinctive flavor in the day’s menu, too. In: working over leftovers, it's a good plan to skip a day between their original and second appearances. This prevents monotony and es meals more interesting. Go to market yourself. You will . find the trip more than repays in ideas for the time it takes.

TEA INCREASING IN POPULARITY

Even ‘ American Men Are Becoming Addicts, ‘ Figures Show.

This country has come forward as the second largest tea consumer in

the world, putting away .about 20,~ 900 000.990 cups annually, according to figures recently compiled by New York tea merchants, who said that tea drinking is ‘increasing rapidly among Americans. ' Tea enthusiasts point to youth and extreme old age to prove their arguments about the benefits of “the cup that cheers.” A major influence comes from tea being a standard item for athletes at college training tables. Another reason why men go in for it in a big way is: found in the new habit of serving tea during rest pauses in factories and large offices, where reports indicate that people do more work and enjoy it better on days when they have their afternoon cup of tea. Quite different data indorsing tea drinking comes from England. It seems that Mrs. Ella Merriott of Thornton Heath, who recently celebrated her 110th birthday, got up to say that all her life it has been her custom to start the day by drinking two cups of tea. This recipe presents tea at its best: Place water which has not been boiled previously in the kettle and bring it thoroughly to the boil. Pour some of the boiling water into the tea pot and out through he spout, to warm the pot. Put a level] teaspoonful of tea’ tito the pot for every cup desired, and one extra for the pot. Pour boiling water from the kettle into the pot and replace lid.q Brew for five minutes, then pour the tea through a strainer into another pot for use at the table.

. Cherry Cobbler

Cream butter and rub in one cop of sugar. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt and add alternately with milk to butter and sugar mixture. Mix until smooth and turn. into a buttered pudding dish. Mix cherries with remaining sugar

‘USEFUL INHOME|

Serving Breakfasts on Them

“to Guests Is Suggested.

Do you have plenty of trays in your home? You should have, They will help you keep house. If you send a breakfast tray to your houseguest you will have the early mornI OE od oe irs cleaning and it will love breakfasting lefurely in her room. When you or some other member of the family must lunch alone, why not have a tray luncheon? ; An attractive tray carried to some part of the house or garden quite away from the scene of your morning’s activities is cheerful and restful. Furthermore, it’s no more work to set a tray than it is fo arrange a place at the table or to clear off a corngr of the kitchen cabinet. When you choose your trays, be sure to select them large enough to take plenty of dishes without | crowding. Oblong trays hold more than oval ones of equal length and breadth, and will- be found more convenient to handle. Round trays are awkward and impracticable for tray eating. An attractive idea is to have matching tray cloths and napkins. Gingham in half-inch checks makes effective sets. An inch fringe on. both serviettes and cloths finishes them quaintly. Trays will save innumerable steps all over the house. "A fray for cleaning not only carries dust cloths and polishes to the living rooms, but is convenient for collecting ash trays, vases of flowers and last evening’s papers.

For Olive Sandwich There are appetizing sandwich fillings which conform to the health requirements of balanced = food values and bring as much joy to the consumer as a menu requiring much more effort. One sure-fire appetizer is to be found in ripe olives, sliced or chopped, combined with flavors or used alone on lettuce with a tart salad dressing.
