Lagging Appetit

‘ith Easily

What is more maddening than
to spend hours in a hot kitchen
preparing meals for a family that.
merely picks at them with the
exeuse that “It’s too hot to eat’?

The. solution. is to plan. meals
that are easy on the cook and at
the same time tempt the family’s
lagging appetite.

These recipes from. the: Con-
sumer Section of the .Dominion
Department. of Agriculture were
chosen with these points in mind.
The Cream Scones, quicker. to
make than cake and much easier
on sugar, are at their best when
oven. fresh. But they ‘may be
baked in the cool of the morning
and will reheat beautifully in the
top of. the bouble. boiler or in:.a
pan. fitting into the= top of the ‘
tea kettle..
