Entertaining during the current holidays

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent If you are planning on entertaining during the holidays, consider serving a buffet. Buffet service relieve the hostess of the serving of the meal so that she can visit with her guests. A buffet lends itself to a relaxed informal atmosphere. Your guests will enjoy moving around, serving food to themselves, choosing their own place to sit, and their own companions. For a buffet, plan a menu of foods that hold well over an extended period of time. The best way to keep an attractive buffet looking that way is to concentrate on individual portions. These can be replenished easily, thus keeping the table neat and attractive. Buffet meals usually are limited to a main course, dessert, and beverage. An appetizer can be served in the living room before inviting guests to the table. The success of your buffet meal depends upon the attractiveness of the buffet table. Interesting colors may be used in the table covering, the serving dishes, the food, or the decorations. An attractive centerpiece may serve as the focal point of the table. If candles are used on the table, they should be lighted even if they are not needed for light. Buffet service is the most satisfactory service for large groups. However, plan your table placement so the guests are routed from tables to buffet without crowding. When the number of guests is indefinite, buffet service is most practical. Color, texture, temperature and taste should be considered when choosing foods for the buffet table. Originality, personality and an easy service give buffet parties a note of real success. To accomplish this, the party needs good pre-planning. Sunday night dinner, holiday brunches, and family reunions all

'Camouflaged' turkey makes irresistible meal

So — you have leftover turkey in your refrigerator and what should you do with it. You might have a party, or the turkey can be the backbone for post-holiday family meals. If your family is one which thinks that leftovers are for the pets, you might have to camouflage the turkey by presenting it as an eye-pleas-ing casserole or combining it with ingredients which the family can’t resist. The answer might possibly be such dishes as Golden Turkey Casserole or Jiffy Turkey Divan.

JIFFY TURKEY ’N STUFFING 8 to 10 large slices cooked turkey (enough to cover bottom of baking dish) 1 package (10 oz.) frozen broccoli spears, cooked and drained lean (10% oz.) condensed cream of chicken soup One-third cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon instant minced onion or onethird cup chopped onion % teaspoon salt % teaspoon pepper legg lcan(Boz.) refrigerated buttermilk or country style biscuits ¥4 cup water Oven 350 degrees. 4 to 5 servings. In bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square or Hx7-inch ob-

long pan, arrange turkey slices. Place broccoli over turkey. In medium mixing bowl, combine can soup (about M cup, reserve remaining soup for sauce), celery, onion, seasonings and egg; mix well. Separate biscuit dough into 10 biscuits. Cut each into 10 pieces. Stir into soup mixture; spoon mixture down center of broccoli. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes until topping is golden brown and cento* is no longer doughy. In small saucepan, combine reserved soup with water; heat. Serve as sauce over squares of hot casserole.

GOLDEN TURKEY CASSEROLE % pound mushrooms 1& one-third cups chicken bouillon ¥4 cup butter 4cupschopped cooked turkey 2 cups hash brown potatoes (uncooked) 2 cups frozen peas, thawed and uncooked 1 teaspoon dill weed 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ¥4 teaspoon black pepper % teaspoon seasoned salt 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese lean (10% oz.) golden cream of mushroom soup % cup chopped onion 2 cups bite-size toasted corn biscuits, crushed to l%cups Wash and stem mushrooms.

During the social hour, members partook of a cheese ball, crackers and cranberry cocktail, cookies and candy, all made by the hostess. From a candle-lighted table, red and green jello and chocolate Christmas tree cakes were served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. Leon Vance.

Beware of nonphosphate laundry products

MUNCIE — Housewives who want clean, clean clothes and a safe washing agent — free of toxic ingredients that can kill small children, corrode the family washer, and remove stain and flame resistant finishes on fairies — will be very unhappy with the new nonphosphate laundry products. This the opinion of Ball State university’s 15-member home economics department. The department has conducted its own research on the ability of nonphosphate washday products to get clothes clean. “They don’t get them clean and soft and our test shows that they tend to fade some materials more than the phosphate detergents, “said Ellen Lacey, assistant professor of home economics. “Our research substantiates that which has been done by Whirlpool, General Electric and some other wash machine manufacturers. We did our laundry research under home conditions, using the same water temperature, the same load, and\ the same materials on the phosphate and nonphosphate t washes,” she added. “And the washings where we used 1 phosphate detergents were definitely whiter, softer to the touch, and there was no fading.” The Ball State home economics professors have joined the Indiana Home. Economics Association and -its 1,500 professional home economists in calling for a reversal of the state’s anti-phosphate law which is supposed to go into effect on January 1. They agree with Dr. James E. Etzel, Purdue university sewage disposal engineering authority, that to remove phosphates from washday products is not the answer to Indiana’s problem of pollution of its lakes and streams. “Removing these phosphate detergents from the grocery shelves does little to solve the problem,” said Miss Lacey. “Ultimately, the ansWfer is correct sewage disposal methods that can remove 82 to 95 per cent of all phosphates.” About 10 per cent of Indiana’s lakes and streams are affected by the phosphate problem and detergents account for an estimated one third of all phosphates being dumped into the lakes and streams. The rest comes from human and animal wastes, industrial wastes and the runoff from fertilized areas. Phosphates accelerate algae growth in the water. This results in the growth of water plant life which robs the water of its oxygen and clogs basins. This prompted the 1971 session of the Indiana General Assembly to pass a law which calls for reducing the phosphate content in detergents first to 12 per cent a year and later to 3 per cent a year, a level which the home economists say will be useless as a cleaning compound. In place of phosphate detergents, manufacturers have had to turn to other compounds to find cleaning agents for clothes to meet the January 1 deadline. The substitutes have the home economists and others very concerned. They claim the substitutes are harmful to humans and their garments as well as not getting clothes clean. Miss Lacey said home economists are concerned about the “toxicity of the nonphosphate products.” U.S. Surgeon-General Jesse Steinfield has testified that nonphosphate detergents may expose children to “serious risk of irreversible loss of sights, loss

of voice, ulcerations and blockage of ,-the esophagus, severe skin bums and even death.” The Ball State professor said the Indiana Economics Association is also concerned about the fact that nonphosphate products reduce the flame resistant properties found on fabrics, particularly 100 per cent cotton fabrics. The Flammability Standard for Children’s Sleepwear issued by the Secretary of Commerce, states that the flame-resistant finish on fabrics must last for 50 washings, using a standard phosphate-based detergent. But, Miss Lacey said that tests show that nonphosphate products cauSeXthese flame-resistant finishes ko deteriorate after only 16 washings. “Housewives will also find that the nemphosphate products will shorten the life of both their automatic washers and dishwashers and increase the repair costs,” Miss Lacey said. In addition to corroding washer tubs, agitators, pumps and filters, nonphosphate materials also clog drain lines, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers warns. “It seems that more problems are being added than being solved,” commented Miss Lacey. “If we think we are going to have problems washing clothes, wait until July 1, 1973 when the ban on dishwashing detergents goes into effect. Any housewife who uses a detergent after July 1 to wash dishes will be in violation of the law. “And no manufacturer has been able to produce a good dishwashing compound that meets sanitation standards set for hospitals, food-handling facilities or the home,” she added. The Ball State professors join the Indiana Home Economics Association in asking the 1973 Indiana General Assembly to repeal its antiphosphate law. But more immediate is an attempt to get the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board to delay still further the implementation of the 1971 law. The board is supposed to meet December 19.
