my first menus l naturally stuck to
easy.to-cook roasts. We were
surprised to learn that they cost
us less than hamburger because
they stretched so far. BY careful
planning, ix-to-eight-pound rib

PIERRE, the French Navy man,
also taught me the use of sauces.
We make two weeks supply of
quick Brown Sauce and stow it

and a few ingredients. it is only a
matter of minutes to have many
sauces: Bordelaise, Diable,

a few cuts of meat by intelligent
use of these gravies and sauces.
