Watercress Puree Makes Outlets

A friend Of mine, an Army ofiicer
who has been stationed in England
for the past year or so, was recently
home on leave. He always has been
noted as an epicure and super"
amateur chef and before the war
travelled extensively in Europe, look
ing into the secrets Of the famous
restaurants and their equally IA
nous chefs.
The other evening he entertained
few guests at dinner, planning
and preparing the meal himself,
based on prewar menus of some of
the finest clubs in London, where
food often reaches heights un-
dreamed of by the average cook.
His wife was banished to the dining
room and living room while he took
over the kitchen for the occasion.
First, he gave us deliciously chilled
Vichyssoise soup. It came out of
o can, he admitted, because he had
too many other things to prepare.

chopped chives and saw to 1t that

Then came lamb outlets, prepared
as they are in q famed London club.
The outlets were nicely trimmed
and then dipped in melted butter
or margarine and covered with q
half and half mixture Of grated
Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs
Any loose crumbs were shaken Oh
before the outlets were dipped in
beaten egg. More cheese and crumbs
were spread on. then o melted but

There are so many other impor-
tant things to be interested In these
days that most Of the formalities
of living have been greatly simpli-
ned. Birthdays, anniversaries and
Homecoming dinners still deserve a
certain degree Of importance in
their celebration, but even from
these great deal OF pomp has been
eliminated.
For such an occasion, however,
set the table with the utmost regard
for the niceties. Use cleaning linen
cloth, your best silver and china.
After all, this is to be a treat and
we are q little tired of eating res
taurant meals OF glass, linoleum or
bare wood table tops. Summer table
linens are as gay as flower garden
this year and whatever your dining
room color scheme you will be able
to find cloths and napkins to accent
it. A basic cloth of this kind will
make the whole setting something
to remember. !.
For decoration a simple bowl OF
garden flowers is all you need. But,
to be different" how about basket
of fresh vegetables, preferably from
your Victory Garden. An Ee--.er bas-
ket painted ------s~alo do, but a
metal cor amer, such as the one
pictured, would be more fitting.
There are several styles on the local
market in case you are interested.
Keep the setting simple and in
formal, eliminate place cards and
favors on this occasion. After all,
they take up a lot of space without
adding a thing to the beauty Of the
table or to the real pleasure of the
guests.
There is no real need to use deco
ative service plates. They are taken
on when the first course Is served
anyway, and by eliminating them
the maidless hostess is saved time
and steps. Set the table with din
ner plate in which any appetizer or
soup course, brought in on its own
small plate, is placed. There are
lovely, leaf-shaped porcelain plates
that come In several colors and you
can obtain covered soup bowls to
match or contrast. When these are

any meat, and especially pleasing
with the delicate flavor of lamb. To
make 1t, our host took about a pound
and a half of the finest cress he
could get, picked it over carefully
and discarded any dead or discolored
leaves and thick stalks. He washed
the leaves carefully and dropped
them into . kettle of boiling, lightly
salted water, cooking them uncov-
cred for is minutes.
Then he turned the cress into q
colander and plunged this In ice
cold water. The leaves were drained
thoroughly and then laid on a board
and chopped or minced as fine as
possible. Then into a pan they
went, with a little butter, and were
stirred over a quick fire for or
minutes, after which they were
forced through sieve. Seasoning
was salt and pepper and a very little
lemon juice.
The puree was Sprinkled with a
tablespoon of flour and table
spoons cream were added. The mix
ture was stirred until it came to a
boil and then allowed to simmer
covered, for IS minutes. Just before
serving. little more butter was
mixed in and the color and flavor
of the puree was indeed something
to remember!

puree. We had tiny boiled new po-
tatoes, In their jackets and dressed
with parsley and butter, and grilled
tomatoes from our hostess Victory
garden. The lettuce, escarole and
romaine that made up the salad
also came from her little plot OF
carefully titled soil.

As we mentioned above. use your

are placed to the left Of the plate,
knives and spoons to the right, with
all handles parallel, and the same
distance from the table edge. Uten-

outside end of the rows.
Iced coffee or tea is suggested for

would be an excellent choice.

Conference football may not be
