'DINING OUT'-:
AT HOME
Many a time it happens on a
hot midsumtner's tiav that there _
^ is a difference of opinion between
| husband ami wife as to htnv trr- \
secure the most pleasuro- and re- a
' | laxation out of their evening meal '
" together. Friend wife suggests: 1
' ; "Let's dme out tonight, shall we?"
Friend husband counter* u-ith *>.<
'proposition: "Let's dine at home."
In ^his dilemma, we-offt?r the
compromise plan of "dining out" {
?but at home.
The first practical step begins *
with meal-planning ? to arrange A
that type of meal which is based j
it does . not require last-minute '
cooking, and so that it may , be
served o:i^a sHding time-schedule' ^
like dining. Some husbands like '
- t-> take a shower and change be- '
_ J"fe eating.- others wish merely to
lie down and relax?but- whatever
th< ir preference. the meal
should be of that type which can
1 > eaten at Pnv htTug -a?4- served "
in any place--in the dining-room,
on 'the porch, in the yard, in the
.a ulti even, if desired to tuck it
into t o n ruble and_ spin out to
a rmal "picnic" setting.
To. home-makers who think of
an evening "dinner" only in terms
of pot roast and h^t vegetables
suvli a m l 1 may j seem revolu
ti<rTaiy. But to others (and they
" a e irow in tlm great majority)
the following types of meals are
inst perfect:
(I) Inddof (iarden Party. Meal
. hVaU'iuvg?ooiidwiehea,?iced :
bevpi-age and fruit salad or other1
'init dessert".
. (*2) Kitchenette Broil Menu?
f - <" -
i-caiurmjj ? lu-mimue "Droil" or
pan-fry including hamburger*,
liver-sausage-burgers, supported
by a staple salad, iced coffee or
iced tea.
(3) One-Dish Hot Meal?Featuring
canned-soup, with rolls,
sandwiches, fresh fruit and cold
beverage.
(4) Meal-On-Plate ? Featur_ing
aspic, deviled eggsr-cold vege- tables
and relishes-'with beverage.
(5) Hole-in-One Meal ? Featuring
electric casserole unit, with
