THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE
Two Dinners at once.


A housewife made the remark the
other day that she got dinnar only
every other night. But She didn't
mean that the other nights she and
her family dined out or went with
out dinner. What she meant was that
she had established a system so that
she did the actual cooking for dinner
only every other day, so that it would
be possible on the alternate days to
give very little time to the prepara-
ton of dinner.
1t is always practical to have meat
do for two dinners. Som etimes it
up from dinner to prepare the meat
for the next days dinner. For in
stance, If you have beefsteak for din
ner you may put the good parts that
remain on the platter thru the meat
grinder while you are clearing up the
dinner dishes Then put few pieces
of bread thru the chopper: mix these
in a bowl. adding the platter gravy.
and possibly some bits of butter left
from dinner. and the next evening it
will be a simple matter to mould this
into cakes which can be fried on a hot
grfddle as hamburg steak. There
would be a lot of waste work if you
had first laid the beefsteak off onto a
plate and set it into the refrigerator
only to have to get 1t out again the
next day, using additional dishes in
your work of preparing it.
IT you have mashed potatoes for
tonight's dinner 1t is a simple matter
