TEMPTING THE SUMMER PALATE
How often during the sunune one
hears such expression as “I’m not
hungry; I haven’t any appetite in
hot weather.” It .is natural that there
is neither the desire nor the need
for such heavy,, fat food at this seas
on of the year, hut at the same time
enough of the right kind of food
should he eaten to keep a person
physically fit. With so many Cana
dian fresh fruits and vegetables on
the market during the summer the
problem of desserts, salads and ac
companiments to the meat course are
easily solved. With meats, fish or
poultry as the basis for dinner they
may be served cold to suit the sum
mer palate. Cold roast lamb, cold
baked ham or cold meat loaf served
with fresh, well-cooked vegetables
are delicious. Eggs are also a good
summer food. Scrambled eggs or om
elettes are not too heavy for summer
fare and, if preferred, hard-cooked
eggs may be combined with fresh
vegetables to make an inviting and
satisfying supper or luncheon main
course. (Cheese, including cream
and cottage cheese, is another food
which may be served often during
hot weather. Nourishing, and at the
same time thirst .quenching, well-1
chilled drinks are popular in sum-’
mer and frozen desserts including
ice creams and sherbets are also in
general favour.
Lamb Moulded in Mint Jelly
By J. McTavish in the London Free
Press
Angus McDonald never had the
appearance of a physical giant.
He is rather small in stature. At
the same time, 'some years ago he
was a very hard man to handle, yet
could handle heavier loads than
many a than could whose weight
would force the scales up much be
yond his avoirdupois.
He hardly knew what personal
sickness "was until after he had
reached his 80th year. His next
birthday will ring the curtain down
on four score years and ten.
Since last fall, until recently, he
lived with a daughter .who resides in
London, but if actions speak louder
than words we believe he rejoices in
the fact that he is home again.
For example, we mention that the
first night after his return he stayed
with a neighbor, but about five in
the morning was up dressed and on
his way to the trim little log house
which to him is home and has been
since he moved to it with his family
about 50 years ago.
One by one he saw his sons and
daughters get married and to some
extent the home ties broken. About
seven years ago his wife died and
since then he has lived alone.
He enjoys company, has plenty of
it, and in the evenings loves to
smoke and chat and have a game of
euchre.
He is keenly observant and is
