MILLING CO. LTD. PHONE 262-2605 — HENSALL 4 Est. 1880 '41 NW - Cooking for one can be done People who have cooked for a family for years often say they can't ..get used to cooking for one. They find it difficult to cut down their buying and cooking habits. As a result, they often find themselves with left -overs to cope with and spoiled food to throw out. Thus, many find it simpler to have unappetizing and inadequate toast and tea or soup and sandwich meals. The federal health department publication, "Food Guide for the Older Person" urges the older person living alone to buy, stock and cook in smaller quantities. It takes planning and practice, but it can be done, and it saves much money, the publication says, Nowadays, small cans of fruit and vegetables, meats and soups are available. They may be slightly more expensive than larger sizes, but not if you throw half of the big one away! Of course there will be left -overs occasionally. They can be put together with canned soup, tomato juice or breadcrumbs and milk and baked in a casserole or heated in the top of a double boiler. Such dishes could be the most interesting in the menu. • HARBOURLITE INN Goderich ANNUAL MOTHER'S DAY BUFFET DINNER Mat 11-5 to 7:30 p.m. For Reservations Phone 524-9371 or 524-9264 Marie Cudmore puts a coin in: Murray' Draper's "nickelodeon" — actually a Regina disc changer, circa 1903, at last weekend's craft and hobby exhibit in Clinton. — Staff Photo.
