Here is a new idea for serving
creamed foods: Buy long, rusty
rolls, remove the centers. (Cse the
removed crumbs for escalloped
dishes at some later meal.) Spread
the insides with butter, mixed with
yellow cream cheese, and toast the
roll cases until well Drowned. Then
fill with creamed hard-cooked eggs
mushrooms, chicken or fish. With
a crisp salad, Graham mullins and
a gelatin dessert you have a deli
cious spring luncheon menu.
