Meat Can Be
Replaced By
Good Cheese
BY PATSY GRAVES
For AMP

NOW THAT MEAT RATION.
ING is no longer threat but
reality you VIII be looking around
for a meat substitute dish. One of
the best items under that category
IS CHEESE, of which there is an
abundance this years as a result
CT the department of agricu1ture's
request that cheese production be
stepped up. One of the incest
dishes know is called CHEESE
STRATA, You take IL slices of
day old bread and trim off the
cruSts. Lay six of the slices in q
creased baking dish and then add
layer Of cheese. You use sliced
cheese, and youT need about a
half pound.
Now put on the other six slices
OF bread in sandwich fashion. Beat
four eggs, and two and two-thirds
CUPS of milk, with self, pepper. and
paprike to teste Now pour the
mixture over the bread and cheese
and pop the whole business In
your refrigerator for several hours
before baking. Then bake in a
Moderate oven about nm hour.
The custard part will set and the
bread will puff up and brown. The
cheese viii melt and run into the
other part. 1t all blends together
IN a most delicious medley. and is
really something to race ever.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF
WAYS to use cheese, and there
are al kinds of cheese. Here's a
word of warning whenever YOU
cook cheese however, Cheese and
heat just don't go together. The
pest way to ruin good cheese
dish Is to put too much heat to
IT. 1t will not work, and If you
don't believe it just try it. Cheece
gets stringy and touch when you
temperature is too high, and that
goes for AL kinds. If you are bak,
ing, use q moderate oven always. or
you are heading for some culinary
grief. And, lady, as high as food
prices are, you Just can't afford to
experiment.
ONE OF THESE DAYS 7 AM
GOING TO tell you about Cheese
souffle. Now there is a dish fit for
king, but when I talk about it,
am going to do so at length, be.
cause cheese souff1e' Is a work of
art, and the cook who can do one
perfectly is an artist.
FOR A WHILE YET, I am go
ng to continue this dissertation on
meat substitute dishes. Go at a
new recipe with careful delibera
ion. There might have been a
time when you'd try something,
and If you made a mess you'd
throw it out. But not now. Food

The dearth of men on the socia!

fashions are obviously calculated
to prepare a woman for romantic
maneuvers that are swift and de-
vastating. With the majority OF
young men at war, this is not the
season for the gay good fellowship
that was yesterdays leisurely pre-
lude to romance. These days
women are dressing for the quick
romantic kill, and fashion experts
are providing helpful sartorial
