You should repeat this several
times-say three or four-before
actually using the plank to cook on.
Clean the plank by scraping with
knife gently. Don't mar the
surface. Then wipe it with a dry
cloth. incidentally, it isn't advis-
able to use the same plank for
steak and fish. The flavor fingers.
Meat and poultry usually require
a little preliminary cooking before
being put on the plank, but fish can
go on it as is. Heat the plank
slowly in the oven and smear it
with butter or olive oil before put
ting the food on it,
Just before the main fish or meat
are done border the plank with
mashed potatoes pressed through a
pastry tube and brush this with
butter. Fill up the space between
the fish or meat with cooked vege-
tables. Run the plank under a low
broller flame to brown the potatoes
and serve on the plank.

SLEEPING ROBE
COMMENT.

From Mrs. d. r. c., Washington
For Mrs. A G., Washington: I
would advise against zippered sleep
ing robes fastened to cribs for any
child, as even quiet sleeper will
have an occasional restless night.
My pediatrician much prefers dress
ing the upper body in warm shirts,
even sweaters, etc, when needed,
and wrapping baby in a warm
blanket. under the arms. Hold the
blanket by few pins in the back
if the child usually sleeps on his
stomach. He also warns against
horse blanket sized pins" in case
of accidental jabs from an open one.
I believe most people who use the
robe you mention have been lucky
because of the quiet nature of their
sleeping babies, and often because
the mother has slept in the same
room, enabling her to detect any
muff1ed or faint sound. The blanket
l suggest gives more freedom and is
easier to manage if diaper changes
are necessary"
l have noticed that there have
been a number of young children
writing in to RICH recently. To
me this is fine recommendation
for the column, as few children
would bother, unless really seeking
information, and really feeling the
friendliness of the RICH.
