solution. Nuts and olives 20 well

with maple or plain brown sugar.
II is good plan TO keep a jar or
shelIed nuts on the emergency shelf
for these and other uses. Peanut
butter as a sandwich filling is fam
iliar 10 everyone. 1t can be made
nj home by putting the roasted
shelled nuts through the meat grin

cream or melted butter to make a
smooth paste.
A cream cheese ball can be roll

an accessory 10 almost any KIND or
salad. Celery stalks siuffed with
nuts and cheese are often used ~
a similar way. A few nuts III a
frnit. aspie, or vegetable salad are
distinct improvement. Even N a

touch. Boiled chestnut kernels make
an excellent s.lad. When Persi2i'
