Don't Permit Yourself To Become Socially Lazy

By RUTH MILLETT ON'T be “Socially Lazy” says an article in a current

magazine.

Well, how about it? Are you? You can get a pretty good idea of how-to answer that

by asking yourself the following: ONE: Am 1 fairly prompt about entertaining those who have entertained me? Or, do I let myself get to the place where 1 “owe” S0 many people 1 get depressed just thinking about it?

TWO: Have

I entertained Ruth Millett acquaintances in my home during the last three months? THREE: Do I love to be a guest and dislike being a hostess? FOUR: Do I make excuses for not entertaining when my husband says we ought to have a

particular couple over for dinner? " = = FIVE. If entertaining often

is actually {oo big a strain on the budget, (lo I make the effort to round up friends for Dutch Treat parties, family picnics, ete.? SIX: Do I tell myself it is just too difficult to try to entertain when there are small children, and that it will be differ‘nt when they are a little older? SEVEN: Am I a good enough manager so that I can feel at

ease entertaining unexpected guests? EIGHT: Do members of my

Vegetable

By JOAN SCHOEMAKER Times Food Editor

EACH QUEEN has her kingdom and the queens in the vegetable land are

reigning this week. Nation-

al vegetable week, today through Aug. 9, gives the beauties a chance to parade their merits. Butter and sauces, mild or sharp, are the only dresses needed to cover nature's beauties. Proper care in cooking protects the.tender vegetables and presents them at their loveliest. For best results keep the amount of water at a bare minimum. Wherever possible, place the vegetables on a rack out of contact with the water, This way they steam.

Do not overcook. Keep them as fresh as possible in the refrigerator or pick them in the garden. shortly before cooking time, if possible.

Special directions go along with cooking corn on the cob. Remove the husks just before cooking. If necessary to do so earlier, cover with a damp cloth and place in refrigerator. Wash gently and quickly in cold running water. = ” =

TO BOIL, drop cleaned. washed ears of corn one by one into enough boiling salted water to cover. Use one teaspoon salt to one quart water. Bring water to a boil again and cook until corn is tender (about five to six minutes). Do not overcook as the corn becomes tough. To steam corn line a Dutch oven or heavy kettle with clean, washed corn husks which still have a few of the water drops clinging to them. Lay ears of corn on layer of husks, sprinkle lightly with + salt, Heat to steaming (about three minutes), reduce heat and cook 18 to 20 minutes, If steamed in the oven, the corn will cook in 30 to 35 minutes at 425 degrees F. -

Special dresses change the menu just like they change a costume. Stuffings and sauces and butters are the cook's best helpers.
