The Food Budget Behaves"

Whether due to the pronounced
rise IN living costs or to the COM
ing unexpected guests, "stretcher"
games are worth knowing. The
following are some good sugges-
tions that are ready for irnmedi-
ate action:
l. One of the best aids is to-
mato juice. Use a glassful plain
for that needed tang. Add it to
pork and beans with some crisp
bacon Slices-or to increase the
quantity and flavor of vegetable
soup.
2. Brown soups or bouillons are
an excellent addition to mild-fa-
vored meat casserole dishes or
hash.
3. Noodles and rice are, of
course, essential-they can be
added to broth, leftover meats,
or vegetables.
4. When you want whipped
cream, let your coffee cream stand
in the refrigerator-then whip.
This will successfully mask
small quantity of dessert.
When the guests come unex-
pectedly at 600, and the family
dinner has already been planned
prepare these from the shelf:
Rice Mushroom Casserole
! c. rice
] ID. fresh or canned FHl
mushrooms
3 Tbsp. butter
! small onion, minced
No. 2 can peas
Saute the mushrooms and on
ion in butter, combine with the
rice after it has been steamed or
boiled until tender. Place in well
buttered casserole, border with
canned peas and bake at 800 de-
grees until thoroughly warmed.
Serve at once. This is an espec-
tally delicious and attractive dish
when served in individual baking
dishes,
