Here's How to Whet

Appetite of Guests in Holiday Open House

JOAN SCHOEMAKER Times Food Editor

ROM a Sondfl a multitude, guests answer an open

house invitation with a quick “I'd love to come.” One of the smartest forms of entertaining, the open house can

be simple or elaborate. If you mark the holiday seagon with an egg nog party, you can serve your drink with or without an accompaniment. Christmas cookies with nonalcoholic egg nog are like a steady couple . . . they go together. For that feminine touch serve little cakes cut in different shapes, arranged smartly and topped decoratively. Spiced coffee is the perfect accompanjment. Salted nuts and mints will round out the food picture. Spiced coffee, relatively simple to make, is a combination of cloves, cinnamon stick and

coffee concentrate. Combine 16 cloves, one four-inch stick cine namon and six cups boiling water and bring to a boil. Let stand five to 10 minutes and strain. Add four tablespoons frozen coffee concentrate and onehalf cup sugar. Stir until dissolved and reheat if necessary. _Serve with sweetened Whipped

cream sprinkled with cinnamon. For six to eight persons. Tea cakes become simplicityplus workmanship if sheet cake is cut to desired shapes. Triangles, diamonds and rectanglars obviously leave no waste. Crumbs from hearts or circles can be used as a base for ice box cakes or cottage pudding. ” ” ” TO ICE THE CAKES easily use a thin frosting and work

from the top down to eliminate

crumbling on the cut sides. Use a pastry, tube or cake decorator and thick icing to form designs. For a variation trim colored gum drops and maraschino cherries with kitchen shears to form flowers for decorations. 7gg nog, whether spiked with cider, will suit any taste. To make the spiced cider egg nog beat the volk of one egg well and add one teaspoon sugar, a pinch of salt and one-eighth teaspegn nutmeg or cinnamon. Beat again to blend and stir in onehalf cup chilled cider. Fold in
