Two Of the members of the Club
de Jeudi went to Norfolk, Va, on
omcial business and slipped away
to Williamsburg, nearby, to become
saturated In Americanisms Of Al,
earlier and less exciting day. And
80. returning. home, they brought
with them = planned early American
dinner to prepare for the other
members of the club. OF course,
with the friendly husband serving
as amateur chef. the dinner was
planned within the scope Of mas
culine cookery of the amateur abil-
ity, but the following dinner proved
to be 4 credit to the culinary skill OF
the male:
Chicken and Pea Soup
Roasted Leg OF Pork in the
Tide-tudter Manner
Mashed Potatoes
Stuffed Baked Tomatoes
Old fashioned Chesapeake Bay
Cole SlaD
Fresh Strawberry Pie
Coffee
This dinner was exceptionally well
planned to let . man who likes to
cook, and has had 4 little practice,
win real applause.
Then, too, 1t Is replete with dra-
matte possibilities. For instance
the chicken and pea soup. In CO.
!onial days, this soup was started
the day before and took many,
many hours to prepare. Now,
though, one cuts corners. FOR eight
servings, three cans Of chicken
broth-or II necessary, take four
cans Of chicken soup and strain out
the solids, using them for an ome-
lette next day. Heat the broth and
stir In Is much condensed pea soup
as ID desired to create the thick.
ness and the pea-soup flavor as is
desired. The result should be 4
lovely soup Of a light creamy con-
sistency.
And now, using the point Of 4
knife and q package of curry pow
der, add just smitch of powder,
stir well, and taste. If that is what
one considered right, stop there,
otherwise, add bit more. But this
curry powder must be administered
