Answering the Demands
of Holiday Entertaining
Dinners, Football Slippers, Theater Parties W ith
Novel and Interesting Refreshments
I
By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE
SO MANY football games
and other college affairs
are held directly before
Thanksgiving that many host
esses are planning to entertain
the young people during the
week preceding the holiday.
In the two dinner and two
supper menus suggested, dif
ferent numbers of guests have
been catered for, and especial
pains have been taken not
only to provide rather hearty
and particularly appetizing
dishes, but also to have them
of a nature so that they may
be easily prepared should the
supply of help be limited.
For both dinners a very
easily made frozen dessert is
used. The peach Melba con
sist* of half a drained canned
peach placed in a sherbet
glass, topped with a generous
ball of French vanilla ice
cream and again with the
other half of peach. Pour
over three tablespoons of
thick raspberry sauce and
garnish with a rosette of
sweetened whipped cream,
pressed through a pastry tube.
The ice cream croquettes
may consist of any preferred
variety of ice -cream, frozen
firm and formed with chilled
butter paddles into croquette
forms. Roll in powdered mac
aroon crumbs, place in layers
in a small pail with a water
tight cover and set in ice and
rock salt until ready to use.
Place paraffine paper between
the layers.
It will be easier, unless you
have the services of two skill
ed waitresses, to serve the
main course of the second
dinner all on one plate, as
otherwise the duckling will be
cold when the vegetables and
jelly reach you. The duck
lings are delicious and are
cooked by merely dipping the
halves in bacon fat, sprinkling
with salt and paprika and bak
ing in a rather hot oven.
When cooked, dish and cover
each with two tablespoons of
the brown giblet gravy, sea
soned with a little Worcester
shire sauce. If canvas-back
ducks are substituted, have
them rare.
For the first supper party,
the hot curried oysters are
especially good with the chill
ed salad; to prepare them,
steam one gallon (or the
equivalent of 150 oysters) of
oysters and when the cdge3
are well curled drain again.
Melt sixteen tablespoons of
butter, blend in an equal
quantity of flour and add
gradually three pints of milk
and one pint of cream. Stir
constantly until the mixture
boils and season to taste with
salt, paprika, celery salt and
curry powder. Mix well, stir in
the beaten yolks of four eggs
and cook for a moment or two,
stirring steadily. Add the hot
oysters with three tablespoons
of shredded parsley and turn
into small pastry cases.
For a small supper party,
nothing is better than small
tenderloin steaks, grilled over
the wood fire; the potatoes
can be all ready to slip into
the oven of the gas range and
will be browned when the
steaks are ready, and, while
these preparations are in
progress, serve the canapes
and the cocktads, which you
will find are a most delicious
combination.
The canapes may be made
from a reliable grade of can
ned fish. Mince the contents
of the can and add half the
quantity of chopped celery, a
teaspoon of Worcestershire
sauce, salt and paprika to
taste, a teaspoon of French
mustard and sufficient Rus
sian dressing to moisten.
Spread on rounds of rye bread
sauted in a little hot olive oil.
To prepare the grape juice
cocktails, mix together the
pulp and juice each of one
orange and one grapefruit
and add 24 Maraschino cher
ries with a little of the cordial,
half a cupful of sugar, one
pint of unfermented grape
juice and half a pint each of
iced ginger ale and Apollin
aris water. Serve in cocktail
glasses.
