With SHIRLEY J. 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.
If you are not quite that
adventurous, you can substitute
