SISTER MARY'S
\ e KITCHEN
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

THE home-maker finds that hot
i days increase her food prob
lem, not alone in the planning of
meals but in the buying and stor-
ing of both staples and fresh pro-
duce. The summer heat and hu-
midity or sultriness is most try
ing and does much to mar the
crispness and perfection of foods
even if actual spoilage is averted.
Carefully chosen containers go
far toward keeping food in good
condition. Whether food is to be
stored in an ice box or in cold
cellar, this is important. Covered
glass or earthenware, enamel
ware or aluminum-these dishes
are splendid for storing food both
raw and cooked. Most foods that
are perishable keep better If not
exposed to the air, and to this end
covered containers are desirable.
Some soft fruits like berries
keep in better shape if they are
taken Immediately from the box
in which they were marketed and
spread on a platter or large plate.
Keep them in a cool place lightly
covered with cheesecloth or wire
screen. If berries must be stored
in a refrigerator, they should be
placed in the warmest place.
Buy Less, More Often
This season of the year is diff
ficult for the keeping of left-overs.
The first precaution is to buy as
little as possible and thus avoid
the possibility of having any left
overs. It's good habit to use all
left-overs promptly, unless, of
course, there is adequate refriger-
alton.
Cooked vegetables that have
been simply dressed with butter
for the first meal can appear in a
vegetable or combination salad or
may be reheated in a cream sauce
or "scallop." This changes the

cause hot necks and stiff collars

Boil Cream Sauces
Vegetables and meats that have
been prepared in a cream sauce
spoil very quickly The milk
should be actively boiled if there
is any chance of some of the dish
being left over. After the meal it
should be cooled very quickly and
stored at once in the coldest part
of the refrigerator. All creamed
dishes should be used within "a
hours at the most.
It's a wise precaution to reheat
creamed foods, grayies, sauces
and soup stocks that are kept over
"a hours. On the second day
bring them to the boiling point,
boil vigorously for few minutes,
cool quickly and store on ice for
another "a hours.

involving both temperature and
