When You Make Menus Plan On
A Treat To Give Them Interest
MENU making at breakfast is
fun. The day’s work hasn't yet
begun and between sips of coffee
you can jot down your marketing
list and dream up a thrifty luncheon
and dinner that are full of eye ap
peal and good appetite satisfaction.
And if you forget individual prefer
ences or run- out of ideas you can
appeal to the family for help.
Put down the needfuls first, like
salt and sugar and eggs. And then
plan meals that include a treat or
two. You can do this with quick
frozen fruits and vegetables, which,
in these mid-winter days, bring
summertime freshness to your table.
Quick-frozen spinach, for one, is
delicious with baked ham—or with
a cheese souffld. Quick-frozen gold
en sweet corn is conversation mak
ing, whether it comes on the table
with a rare roast beef or with ham
burgers. These vegetables, like
' French-style green beans, green
peas, and all the other quick-frozen
family, have all their flavor and
goodness sealed in when they are
quick-frozen within a few hours
after picking. And they are all
ready to cook just as they come
from their packages. Quick-frozen
i mixed fruits or sliced peaches make
: gala desserts, with no work for the
£hief cook. And. if you want to start
I
the day with a real note of excite
nient, serve quick-frozen sliced
peaches for breakfast.
If you live far from supplies, yo*
probably plan menus several days
in advance and do your marketing
on a large scale plan. But if the
stores are nearby, you may do
better buying by taking advantage
of day to day bargains and sales.
Peach Bavarian Icebox Cake
1 box (1 pound) quick-frozen
sliced ]>eaches, thawed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon quick-method
unflavored gelatine
4 tablespoons sugar
Dash of salt
1 cup cream, whipped
12 lady fingers or strips of sponge
cake
Drain peaches; reserve juice. Cut
peaches in small pieces and add
lemon juice. Combine gelatine,
sugar, and salt in saucepan. Add
peach juice. Place over medium
heat until gelatine is dissolved,
stirring constantly—about 2 or 3
minutes. Cool, then fold in fruit.
Chill. When slightly thickened, fold
in cream. Line bottoms and sides of
mold with lady fingers. Fill with
peach mixture. Chill until firm.
Garnish with whipped cream, if de
sired. Serves 8.
Here’s a Flavorsome Mainstay for
Luncheon or a Meatless Dinner Menu
EGGS and spinach are culinary
partners of long and respected
standing. Their delicate flavors aug
ment each other, their food values
complement each other, and their
contrast of colors is a delight to
the eye.
Eggs Florentine, for Instance, is
a classic dish that is a delicious
luncheon mainstay. And in these
days of high meat prices, it may
well be served for dinner. You can
rest assured that the spinach will
do its glamorous best to give dis
tinction to the -dish if you use. the
quick-frozen sort. Tender, thick
leaved and flavorsome, it is a time
saver, too,-for it comes to you clean
and grit free. Before quick-freezing
sealed in all its green goodness, it
was washed and washed by more
water than you could use if you
tried, and it is ready to pop into
boiling water, still frozen, just as
you take it from the package.
Other quick-frozen vegetables can
be used to round out the Eggs Flor
entine Into a satisfying main course.
Golden sweet corn and French-style
green beans, both quick-frozen a
few hours after harvesting, are
flavorsome vegetables to serve with
the spinach and eggs. For dessert,
a milk pudding will bring up the
protein value of your meal; a gen
erous cheese tray, with a bowl of
fresh apples and winter pears, is
mother good choice for dessert
, *vLen you want the last course to
! bring tip the protein value of a
meatless menu.

I ' .
WHETHER you entertain your in
laws or dispense hospitality to
the neighborhood bridge club, Amer
ica’s famous cheeses offer a happy
solution for popular party menus
that won’t unbalance the family
food budget.
A Cheese Rarebit, for example, is
! a savory party treat that has unl
i versal appetite appeal. A rarebit is
i a' special boon to the budget, too,
I because it provides satisfying nour
| ishment and calls for only a pound
' of grated American cheese, one cup
| of beer or milk and 2 egg yolks as
1 the main ingredients for six gener
, ous servings. When you use beer,
; be sure to open the container about
15 minutes before adding to other
ingredients, as always when beer is
used in cooking. Whether you use a
chafing dish or a double boiler, be
sure to let the cheese mixture come
( to a boil slowly and remove immedi
ately from the fire.
I Or take your cue from the French
chefs and use a savory cheese sauce
to give extra appetite appeal and
nourishment to a main course of
fish, eggs or a vegetable.
For the hostess who’s making the
best of cramped living quarters, a
/ "help yourself" cheese buffet may
■ be the easiest solution of the hospi
tality. A tray of assorted cheeses
or cocktail spreads, pumpernickel
: bread and crackers, relishes and
* »
beer, milk or fruit juice provide th«
makings for party fare that will
satisfy man sized appetites.
Cheese Rarebit
4 cups (1 pound) grated Americas

and sprinkle with paprika. Serves

Composition of Coffee

coffee .is exceedingly complex and
contains constituents from many
groups—fats, oils, waxes, proteins,

the most characteristic is the active
