Food Tip |
Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet. |

You are what you eat. For example, if you eat garlic you're apt to be a hermit. |

Sex is good, but not as good as fresh, sweet corn. |
| Garrison Keillor |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

As the days grow short, some faces grow long. But not mine. Every autumn, when the wind turns cold and darkness comes early, I am suddenly happy. It's time to start making soup again. |

With carrots, celery, green pepper strips, cucumber slices, cherry
tomatoes, cauliflower pieces or crackers, try any of the following:
CHEESE SPREAD
garlic powder
Blend shortening with cottage cheese. A blender or baby food grinder
will give you a smoother consistency than whipping with a fork. Add
garlic powder to taste. Refrigerate in a covered container.
DIP IT AGAIN
1 (8 oz) container of plain yogurt 1 cup sour cream 1 pkg onion soup
mix
Combine and chill before serving.
BETTER-WITH-BUTTERMILK DIP
1 cup buttermilk 2 cups mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream or yogurt 1
envelope Ranch style dressing mix
Stir together and chill. For use as salad dressing, substitute a
second cup of buttermilk for the sour cream or yogurt.
Hint: Use cucumber "coins" instead of crackers.
OTHER QUICK DIPPIES that make up in small quantities:
* Blend 1/3 to 1/2 of a mashed banana with 2 or 3 tsps of mayonnaise.
* Whipe together 1 tsp of smooth peanut butter with 1 tsp of
mayonnaise. If still too thick, add a few drops of milk.
* Mix 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of honey or sugar to 1 or 2
tsp of mayonnaise.
CUTTING UP WITH KIDS
Have your children help you cut up green onions, parsley, lettuce,
cheese slices, fruit, etc., using a scissors instead of a knife.
Using a scissors helps coordination (YES!) and keeps them busy for a
_long_ time!
CHERRY BALLS
Stuff whole (or half) cherry tomatoes with cream cheese, a cheese
spread, egg salad or tuna salad.
Actually thinking of snacks as hors d'oeuvres - rather than desserts
~ will open up a whole new way of looking at this category.
