especially the art of meal planning. The amount of skill brought to the job

depends on the information and tools the housewife brings to the table with her meals. Important tools to be used each meal of the day are color combinations and texture and flavor contrasts. The ideal breakfast menu consists of fruit, cereal or egg or both, milk to drink and with cereal, buttered toast or other bread and coffee. for adults. Meats or fruit spreads are optional. These foods rank high in the total nutritional requirements of the average adult for each day. Adults should drink two glasses of milk daily, eat two or more servings of fruit with at least one raw, consume one egg and have two or more servings of cereal or bread. To serve well does not mean the American cook must prepare expensive foods. Wise choices in menu planning keeps costs to a minimum, All grades of eggs have the same food value for example. AA qual-

ity ‘simply looks prettier for some types of cooking. The same goes for fruits, certain items are 'out of season, substitute dried, canned or frozen fruits, depending on family taste preferences and the budget. » ” ” EVEN RAISINS mixed with hot or cold cereals give the taste- and eye-appeal as well as fulfill the fruit requirement. Fruit cups can be prepared as much as a day ahead of time if necessary. The opening fruit can be a center piece on the breakfast table, if variety is the order of the day. Even the leaves the children collect on falls days can be utilized. Color on dreary days can come in the form of a maraschino cherry atop the cereal, Sugar spiced with cinnamon, a change from granulated sugar to brown for cooked cereals, warmed muffins from the previous day . .. all are flavor and texture contrasts,

fast eggs, a headache to so many cooks, are simple-to fix if the rules of the game are played fairly. it easy. Rubbery eggs are due to hurrying and turning on the heat. The best tasting eggs are cooked at low temperatures . - To fry eggs, allow about eight minutes and plan two for the average adult. Use enough fat to coat the bottom of a skillet, about two teaspoons of butter, margarine or other fat. Heat the skillet antil the fat is melted, but not scorched.

Break eggs one at a time-into a saucer. Lower the saucer to almost touch the bottom of the skillet and then slip the egg into the pan. Repeat until all the eggs have been added and cook slowly until the whites are just set,

Pour a teaspoon of water in the skillet. Cover tightly and turn off the heat. The steam from the water will finish cooking the eggs and will produce a fine film over the yolks. Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper and a dash of paprika or a bit of chopped parsley. Lift the eggs out with a pancake turner onto heated plates and serve immediately. Regardless of how the egg is prepared, be sure to time it correctly, since overcooking is the mortal sin of egg cookery. » ” s PAN-FRIED BANANAS 4 tbsps, butter or margarine Salt 4 firm bananas Melt butter or margarine in large skillet. Peel slightly greentipped or all-yellow bananas. Keep whole or cut crosswise into halves, Fry bananas slowly in butter or margarine until tender, that is, easily pierce with a fork, turning them to brown evenly. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve hot for four. Team with bacon, ham or sausage and eggs, if desired.
