Our idea of pandemonium would

Anyway, if you're wondering how
Mr.. Borge fits into the trio, It's
simple. Victor is another Hide

chief. He even has the piano and
every SO often proves he knows how
to use it, and, like Mr.. Swan, he
never actually gets around to doing
what he's supposed to and nobody
particularly cares.
Mr.. Borge would probably call
himself a pianistic comedian or even
a maker of musical satire, but what

One-Burner Business

Wartime living has created new
type of meals-menus for one
burner cookery. Soldiers wives liv-
ing in one-room-quarters near
their husbands camps; war working
women in crowded industrial COM
munities; even college girls in their
jam-packed dorns, have learned to
depend on that precious one-burner
for the makings of many meal.
This means menus must be stream
lined to nutritional essentials. Frills
are out when one-burner cookery
Is in. Dishes must be dovetailed; so
one heating will take the place of
two. That makes the double boiler
a kitchen pearl-above-price. Fo. in
a double boiler smart cook can
turn out two well-done dishes at
one time.
Here are a few practical tips on
one-burner cookery, and some saw
ory suggestions that will tighten and
brighten your meals.
Suggestions
1. When a recipe calls for cooked
rice, spaghetti, macaroni or
other food which has to be kept
hot, set it aside in the top of a
creased double boiler or sieve
over very hot water until ready
to reheat.
2. Use the top of doubler boiler
to heat foods such as potato
chips, rolls, sauces or canned
vegetables.
3. The bottom of double boiler
may be used to heat foods, such
as broths and thin soups, when
the top is being used to heat
other foods.
4 Prepare as many foods as pos
sible before mealtime, such as
nodded salads, desserts or hard
cooked eggs.
