KELLER, have your work all It is a wonderful feeling to done . . . well, almost completed ... and have a day (or two) to call your very own. That's something I look forward to every once in a while. In fact, my husband and I have promised Ourselves that treat about once a month or so. Usually It is the little things which pile up to make so much static in life. You know what I mean. There's the dental appointment to make, that letter that must get off in tomorrow's mail, that telephone call to place before noon, some last minute shopping to finish before 6, a library book to go back today, a hair date to keep, music lessons tonight, a church meeting to attend, the oil change for the car, a window screen to replace . the list goes on and on. It is almost never large undertakings which wear a person down but rather the little insignificant duties which aren't much in themselves but still add up to a terrific headache when A they are compounded into "things which must be done this week." In a talk with' a public health friend of mine, I learned that my system of simply 'walking out on routine' every so often is really preventative medicine in action. More people, my friend told me, should leave all their `up-tights' behind for a day or so now and again, and deliberately go away and relax, You can argue that finances prevent you from doing such a thing, but my public health • friend reminds me 'holiday therapy' is cheap if you chalk the cost of it up against the price of risking your mental stability. For instance, a woman is at home seven days a week with a brood of young children. Of course she loves them and wants to care for their every need, but • there comes a time when Mom is ready to climb the walls. She's no real asset to the kids as she is, and what's more, she's a real menace to herself. What to do? Find a reliable 4 • babysitter (forget the cost of it) and leave early the next morning for a day in the city, perhaps. Have your hair done, maybe even a manicure and a facial. Have lunch at some real nice spot and in the afternoon, visit a friend or see a movie or go shopping. In the evening, maybe O 4 hubby can join you for dinner and a show. Or how about a t • • drive along some scenic road you remember from your courtship days. it may sound corny but it can work wonders for your morale. The next morning, the kids have a happier mom with a brand new outlook on life and a secret promise to herself to do it all over again in a few weeks. Spent a pleasant hour (complete story elsewhere on the women's pages) at 17 Morenz Lane Saturday afternoon where Ruth Anne Merrier and Lynda Thompson are starting out on a new venture, It is a kind of art-craft shop just full of interesting things, all originals. I'm not too inclined toward art. I don't understand pictures of blobs and streaks or arty conceptions of this, that and the other thing. But I do enjoy exposure to all sorts of different things, and 17 Morenz Lane is a real adventure for people like me who want to experience everything before they truly decide whether or not they appreciate it. In absolute fairness to the girls, they were most patient with me. I'm sure I asked the most juvenile questions concerning their showing. More than once, I revealed my total ignorance about art. Still they smiled and were polite. There is just about everything there to appeal to persons of all tastes. If you have lots of money to spend there are huge batik prints for sale; if your pocketbook is rather slim you can chose some very unique brown paper flowers for the mantle. If you dig things which are `way out' you might choose a vase which rattles but has no hole in the top for flowers; if you want a more purposeful object, you might like a pair of earrings or a batik scarf, I found it fun and I think you will too. Vacation time is upon us. Most of the folks I know will have a holiday at one of Ontario's fine resort areas; a few more I know will be travelling either east or west in this great land of ours. Still more (and to be truthful, I don't know many of these kind but I'm sure there are hosts of them) will be flying to Europe for a summer of sightseeing. There is a booklet available entitled "When A Lady Travels" and I believe it is available from Trans-Canada Air Lines. It has a wealth of information concerning how to pack lightly and correctly, how and where to shop in Europe, how to speed things up at customs, etc. etc. Since this column hardly has room to go into all that detail, I'll pass along a few travel tips which are considered important to know: • Be sure cosmetic and nail polish containers are not full, to allow room for the expansion that can occur at high altitudes. • Take along plenty of facial tissues — small purse-size packets are handiest. • Make up a compact kit of face soap, laundry detergent, a good spot remover, a few clothes pins, needle and thread, small safety pins and a roll of scotch tape (handy for mending hems, removing lint from dark clothes). • Take along a small diary to keep a record of high spots of your trip. • Frequently you can save local taxes by having purchases delivered to you at the airport. Or, if you want to make side-trips, you can arrange to have packages held in storage for you at the airport till you return. • Carry your passport in your handbag always . . don't leave it in your baggage. • If you don't own such things as a travel alarm clock, travel iron, etc„ try to borrow rather than buy them if you need them only for one trip. • "When in Rome do as the Romans do" is still excellent advice for travellers — try to understand and respect local customs that may at first seem strange. Remember, you represent Canada — and in their country, you're the "foreigner"! Have a nice time! 4: I haven't heard a whisper from you gals who go camping. I must assume either that your meals consist of bacon and eggs, hotdogs, hamburgs, pork and beans, spaghetti and the occasional barbecued steak when you are out in the wilds, or you are too modest and too busy to send me your recipes. I anticipated this reaction so I have called upon the Canada Department of Agriculture for recipes and new food ideas for campers. So far I have had no answer from Ottawa. In the meantime I've found one recipe which sounds very good. Ordinarily the steaks you like to barbecue are T-bone and sirloins with the odd wing steak thrown in for variety. But round steak isn't suitable for the barbecue ... until now that is. With the price of beef the way it is (they tell me we might be paying $2.00 per pound for steak this summer) somebody has given some second thoughts to barbecued steak. This suggestion is to pound a round steak in the same manner as you would if you planned to make Swiss steak. Then brown it on a barbecue. Next, wrap the steak in tin foil with a special sauce and some vegetables. Bake it on top of the barbecue for an hour or so. Doesn't that sound yummy? SAUCE 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 'A cup chili sauce 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt Stir over low heat until the butter is melted. Centre steak on foil and cover with one medium green pepper cut in strips, 2 medium carrots gaggszurv• cut in sticks and one large tomato cut in wedges, Pour sauce over steak. Bring up sides of foil and fold down onto meat in tight double folds. Fold ends close to meat to seal. Place over slow coals 1 to 2 hours or until tender. (You can do the same thing in your oven at home. No dishes to wash!) If you plan this for a camping meal, you could make the sauce before leaving home and then simply store it in the cooler until ready to cook the steak. Here is another idea for doing chicken on the barbecue. Most of these ingredients are foreign to campers kitchens but it would be simple to get them for a special camping menu. ORANGE BARBECUED CHICKEN (Makes 4 Servings) 1 cup orange juice 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 (21/2 - 3 pound) broiler fryer, cut up 1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 teaspoons orange rind 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 large sweet potatoes Combine orange juice and lemon juice and pour over chicken. Marinate 2 to 3 hours. Drain. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add marinade, maple syrup, orange rind, ginger, salt and pepper. Simmer 20 minutes. Meanwhile place chicken pieces in rotisserie basket. Rotate over slow coals basting every 10 to 15 minutes with butter sauce. Cook for about 45 minutes or until chicken is tender. If you don't have a rotisserie basket, place pieces on greased grill and brown 3 inches from fire. Raise grill 4 to 6 inches from fire and cook until tender (20 to 45 minutes) turning frequently and baste with butter sauce. Meanwhile cook, peel and slice sweet potatoes. About 15 minutes before serving place sweet potatoes in disposable aluminum baking pan on grill and spoon remaining sauce over potatoes. Note: To Broil — Place under broiler 9 to 11 inches from heat. Turn chicken every 10 to 15 minutes, basting with sauce. Broil about 45 minutes or until tender. About 10 minutes before serving, place sweet potatoes under broiler and spoon remaining sauce over potatoes. Foil is one of the most important items to pack when you are camping out. So many things can be cooked in foil on a barbecue including potatoes. When we are camping, we like to have potatoes at least once a day. Not only are they nutritious, they are inexpensive and filling. They can be boiled on a camp stove or baked on a barbecue, in foil, of course. You can serve raw frieds — cut raw potatoes very thinly and fry in a cast iron frying pan in plenty of oil and salt until tender — or make potato pancakes by grating raw potatoes and adding a bit of flour, some beaten raw egg and salt and spreading the batter very thinly onto a cast iron frypan and frying the pancakes until they are crispy golden brown. If your family likes cottage cheese, a quick nutritious dessert for campers can take shape in an instant. Take a tub of cottage cheese and divide it into equal portions for the family, Top each serving with some chilled peach slices, pear halves, banana slices or pineapple tidbits and you have something cool and refreshing but so elegant for the woods. Here's another dish that could be made on a camp stove without too much difficulty. You may want to skip the first step of breading the chicken, but the rest is quite simply accomplished outdoors. CHICKEN S'PECIAL chicken half-breasts (or etit-tip chicken) 1'1 %1 tsp. salt 1)8 tsp. pepper tsp. paprika 8/1 cup fine dry bread crumbs MARROLINSIMSBOMINIMISM 2 eggs slightly beaten 1 to 3 tbsp. butter or fat or oil cup water 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup 11/2 cups thinly sliced carrots '!:, cup celery (diced) 2 cups potatoes (cut in thin strips) Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper and paprika and roll in bread crumbs. Dip chicken into eggs, and roll again. Brown slowly in hot fat until golden brown. Add water, cover and cook over low heat until almost tender (about 30 minutes). Remove chicken, and keep hot. Add soup to pan, then vegetables, place chicken pieces on top. Cover, simmer gently until chicken and vegetables are tender. Serves six. Cook fresh-caught trout right at the campfire. Here's the way our pioneers did it: Prepare a bed of hot glowing coals. Clean trout. Wrap in fern leaves and pack each fish in mud 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Make a pit in the center of the coals and lay mud-wrapped fish in pit, covering with coals. Cook about 50 minutes or until the dried mud cracks off.
