hash, about which we've already tolo
you.
The vegetables for the pot roast
are put in the same pot with the
meat about As minutes to an hour
before the meat is done.
The essence left from the pot
roast makes delicious, well-flavored
gravy. This will come in handy for
leftover dishes, so it's good idea
to make plenty.
The spinach Is cooked quickly
just enough to bring out its natural
flavor. This maBes it taste good
and leaves the color nice and bright
1t saves time at the table with the
children If the cooked spinach is
cut in advance to avoid strings.
The two-egg sponge cake was
made Saturday afternoon to give
more leisure on Sunday morning
AS a special treat, a pint of ice cream
is bought to make cake a la mode
for dessert. This is outside the
1888 budget, however.
With the main meal at noon,
light meal is sufficient for Sunday
supper. Half of the bacon that was
bought goes to top the open-faced
cheese sandwiches. The children
have hot cereal, and the whole
family has a vegetable salad with
fruit for dessert.
You'll notice the "sweets" are
usually limited to simple puddings
or fresh or cooked fruits. When
it is possible to include pie on the
menu, the children must accept the
fact it is for "grown-ups only"
+ 1t hasn't been a fancy week of
meals, but it has been adequate
by the best nutritional standards
of the Agriculture Department.
Careful shopping and good planning
are the key to beating today's high
food prices-as we have done on
this $1833-a-Week menu.
1t should be pointed out that this
weeks special figure with which we
are dealing is likely to vary-for
better or worse-depending on the
way prices go. So. don't be sur
prised if the 1888 total gets out
of date.
