Make the Most of Sunday Breakfast

In many parts of Europe before
the war, (and, hopefully again after
the war;, there are two breakfasts
early breakfast" and the fork
breakfast" It is this fork breakfast
which intrigues us with it's Sunday
morning possibilities-and by Sum-
day morning I mean along about
twelvish. Then it takes the place of
the grand old-fashioned Sunday
dinner at about one. In this event,
early Sunday morning permits Of
mere nothing-a cup of coffee and
a roll, at most.
Now, this late Sunday breakfast
provides a wonderful occasion for
bringing in guests. The tiniest of
kitchenette apartments can be the
locale. Two gas or electric burners
and a tight little oven will suffice.
An iron skillet, saucepan, muf-
fin tin and a coffee pot supply i'm
pedimenta.
There will be zest and snap and
go and verve to this breakfast and
it will be cooked for six hungry
mortals-and all in this home town
foxhole.
We're going to make our main
dish a hodge -podge" omelet, but
first our fruit will be broiled grape
fruit-ducking into the oven for a
moment, just when the bakery de-
partment calls it day.
Well shop the day before and
heres what will 60 into our basket:
dozen fresh eggs for our omelette,
and we'll need a few more for our
bakery department and this and
that. Well want pint jar or a
can of solid pack tomatoes, a green
pepper, a big onion, some canned
mushrooms, some canned olives.
Well need butter and -four and
sugar and the grapefruit-three
big, fat ones-good and heavy. Of
course, coffee and milk and cream.
Long before the company heaves
In sight, we'll make our hodge
podge" In heavy saucepan we
pour some bacon drippings, when
it is hot we add the sliced onion
and about half good green pepper
cut into shreds. Cook this for a
couple of minutes and then pour
in the pint of tomatoes-juice and
all Season with pepper and salt
and let this simmer. We look about
the kitchen and we find a little
can of marjoram-or maybe it is
thyme. Either is fine. A couple of
generous pinches 60 into the mix
ture. This can simmer for an hour
but it must not dry out. If neces-
sary, we add little hot water. 1t
must wind up nice "mush." In
an hour, we add the mushrooms
sliced thin, and the olives. cupful
or so and let it all simmer Is
minutes more. Then we check for
salt and pepper and set aside for
future use.
If breakfast is set for II, then at
exactly IL o'clock we light the gas
in our oven and set the gauge at

Hopefully our muffin pan has space
for a dozen creations. We run a
little butter or substitute around
each panlet and set the pan on top
of the stove, even warming it bit.
