Plan Simple, But Plentiful Food Treats

Hearty Appetizers Will Brighten Menu By JEAN-TABBERT HALLOWEEN, a good night to start the party season off with a flourish, can be a night. .of fun for adults as well as for the youngsters. Your party will have an eerie flavor if you give it a spooky title. Plan, perhaps, a “bewitching dinner” or a “batty buffet.” If it's an informal affair, then “weird snacks” will add a ghostlike note. Roasted mummies, evil eye salad, tempter's cup and witches brew all are intriguing names for All Hallow Eve party dishes, Above all, the food should be simple and plefitiful. If you're having a casual get-together, serve canapes to fit the season. Choose round or square crackers spread with cream cheese, peanut butter or a mixture .of tuna fish and pickle relish. Decorate the top with bits of pickle; carrot or raisin to form the features of goblins’ faces. Or make tiny cheese pumpkins centered on crackers which have been spread with deviled ham.

To make the pumpkins, mold a yellow cheese spread into pump- | kin shapes about the size of a |

quarter. Make little ridges down the sides with the tip of a sharp

knife, and with bits of pickle, |

fashion a tiny stem.

Here are a number of dishes |

which can be served:

New | Hot Cereals ‘Easily Cooked

The days when hot cereals had to cook ever so long have been left in the past. Modern cereals need to |be cooked only long enough to develop flavor, Long, slow cooking is not necessary.

Many of the popular cooked cereals today are of the quick cooking

| variety. This quick cooking prop- | erty is not owing to partial cooking

during the manufacturing process, as some believe, but to a fineness in division of the cereal kernel

or groat.
