Gravy of course. IS no more than n
good meat stock sauce. And meat

raise our hands in horror at the
thought of pouring gravy over our po-
tatoes. partake appreciatlyey of a
French dish Of parsnips and gravy

Last August sometime we went for the

with the bathroom shower and one OF

he would send man when he could

that we CHANGED to see the plumber

met entirely on an understanding. OF

we have forgotten what a shower bat

cooking school teacher who said
that a good cook was well started

sauce was the foundation of many
dainties Of the table-of all sorts OF
sauces, OF baked omelets and souffies,
~ cream soups.

called salad dressings. The die
