Wwfe sauce-a break
f f
from Mcuonaio s
The student blues can really be a drag, especially in the
kitchen.
Inflated food prices can be disastrous for the small budgets
and empty stomachs of the 12,000 off campus students.
If most of you 12,000 handle this situation as we do, you're
probably living on McDonald's hamburgers and peanut butter
sandwiches. For those lacking ambition and large bank accounts,
the quick service hamburger stands offer brief relief from hunger
pangs. But after about three successive meals there, the menu
becomes boring at best and is of questionable nutritional value.
Through experimentation, we have come up with racipes that
are cheap and easy to make, yet filling and nutritious. A sampling
is presented in this column.
Common dishes can be improved with additions or
substitutions. A little daring can turn simple foods, such as
ground beef or luncheon meats, into excellent main dishes.
For example, try a recipe for white sauce, which can be used
as the foundation for a variety of dishes.
There are three thicknesses of white sauce, each used for a
different purpose. Medium white sauce can be used in gravy,
sauces and scalloped and creamed dishes. Thick white sauce is
used for croquettes and souffies. Thin white sauce is best for
soups and creamed vegetables.

To prepare white sauce, melt the butter in a &ucepan WlrviH
heat. Blend in the flour, salt and a dash of pepper. Next add all
the milk. Cook quickly, stirring constantly, until the mixture
thickens and bubbles. Remove the sauce from the heat when it
bubbles. Then add flavorings or whatever and stir until smooth.
If the sauce cooks too long, it becomes too thick and the
butter separates. To salvage, stir in a little more milk. Again cook
quickly, stirring constantly until the sauce bubbles.
Thin white sauce provides an excellent base for any creamed
soup, such as potato, mushroom, tomato, celery, onion; nearly
anything you wish.
Once again, if you have an unusual or not so unusual recipe
that you have concocted or has been in the family for centuries,
you can share it with the rest of the community by mailing it to:
