"How do you think of
something to write every
week?” I’m often asked.
The answer is simple: I
don’t. When an idea strikes
me, I jot it down. If I’m
lucky a column evolves in
one sitting; if not, I file it for
future reference.
I try to stay at least one
week ahead of schedule to
allow time for mailing.
Sometimes ideas flow, and I
write three or four columns
in one week. Then I don’t
have to write another
column for a few weeks and
can gather fresh ideas.
Having three or four
columns on hand sounds ex
tremely organized, doesn’t
it? Unfortunately, it doesn’t
stay that way. This week,
for instance, I have no
column and no concrete
ideas on which to build.
I’d like to write something
witty that will tease your
mind for days. Or, I’d like to
compose something of
global significance that you
will refer to from time to
Decorate your home
with beautiful
time. (Dreamer!)
What topics come to my
mind? One subject is the
plummeting dollar, but that
won’t cheer any Canadian.
I also think of the millions
of wives in Canada and the
U.S. who have become
widows to their tv sets.
Between hockey play-offs
and baseball openers’, it’s
difficult to find other
programs. Even if you do
find a good movie or variety
show, someone in the house
will probably admonish you
with the cry, 4‘It’s the play
offs. I gotta see the game!”
To be honest. I admit I’m
on the latter side. In our
family, my father and I are
known as the hockey nuts
and are outranked only by
my brother-in-law and niece
who are baseball freaks.
Another thought that com
es to my mind is mud - not
the kind that may be slung in
the up-coming election, but
the kind that sucks our shoes
into the ground and mires
our cars. We can station
ourselves at the door and
order everyone to remove
their boots before coming in,
but somehow the mud
sneaks onto our floors.
If mud is all we have to
worry about, though, we
shouldn’t complain.
Flooding has caused serious
problems for home owners
and business proprietors in
many areas.
Experience should teach
me to avoid the subject of
weather. If I complain about
mud for example, sunshine
may be pouring over, dry
land by the time you read
this. But, like many people,
I seem to rely on the
weather when I can’t think
of anything else to talk
about.
At least in Canada we
have variety. As one fellow
mused, “What do people
talk about who live in places
where the weather never
changes?”
Mud and floods, hockey
and baseball, election guess
ing and a faltering dollar
may not all be cheerful or
extremely important sub
jects, but they are on the
minds of most Canadians in
this spring of 1978.
Maybe next week I’ll
come up with a brilliant,
witty gem of an idea - or the
next week or the next week,
I

Feeding a growing family
nowadays can be a costly
endeavor. BuUfhere are
ways to trim costs ^especial
ly milk costs. How? Use
reliquefied skim milk
powder for cooking and bak
ing as well as a beverage.
Skim milk powder
provides the same food
value as skim milk at a
lower cost and it’s fortified
with vitamins A and D, You
can also count on milk for
other important nutrients in
cluding high quality protein,
the minerals, calcium and
phosphorus and the vitamin,
riboflavin. The only nutrient
missing in skim milk
powder that is present in
whole milk is fat. But with
less fat, there are less
calories! One serving of
whole milk (250 mL) offers
160 calories; two percent,
123 calories; skim milk, 90
calories.
And skim milk powder
boasts another quality -
storage convenience. It soon
will be available in packages
or bags ranging from 160 g
to 10 kg. You will even find
individual packages within
large boxes that reconstitute
to one litre. This allows you
to store the unopened
packages for months and
avoids the “caking”
problem of the large bulk
boxes.
Should your family initial
ly object to thetasteof skim
milk, try mixing fluid whole
milk with an equal amount
of reliquefied skim milk
powder.
This way, you get a
product much like two per
cent milk at a lower price.
Keep in mind, any milk
tastes better if it’s ice cold.
For a real money-saver,
substitute skim milk powder
and water in baking recipes
calling for milk. And just
think of all the ways you use
milk in cooking everyday - in
cream soups, puddings,
scalloped potatoes and
macaroni and cheese. There
must be fifty ways to trim
your milk bill this month, by
supplementing fluid milk
with low-cost skim milk
powder.
Food consultants at
Agriculture Canada offer
you one final suggestion on
how to use skim milk
powder. Why not try
"homemade yogurt” and
flavor it to your taste? A
scoop of yogurt is the
perfect top-off for baked
potatoes, crisp cucumber
slices or by itself in a bowl
covered with fresh fruit.
And when it’s made from
skim milk powder, it’s a real
cost saving.
HOMEMADE YOGURT
500 mL skim milk powder
1.2 L lukewarm water
1 can (454 g) evaporated
milk
50 mL Swiss-style plain
yogurt OR homemade
yogurt*
Combine skim milk powder,
water and milk. Stir in
yogurt and mix well. Pour
into warm sterilized jars,
filling to within 2 cm from
top. Cover with plastic
wrap, then lids. Place in pan
of lukewarm water (45°C).
Water should be level with
top of yogurt. Cover pan and
put in warm place to main
tain water temperature (the
center of top of 75 cm stove
with oven set at about 110°C
is a suitable place). Allow to
stand, without disturbing,
until set (2 to 4 hours).
Refrigerate overnight. May
be stored in refrigerator for
about 2 weeks. Makes about
2L.
• Use homemade yogurt
from latest batch. Make
first batch with packaged
dried or liquid yogurt
culture according to
package directions and
prepare a batch about every
4 days. At end of 1 month
begin with fresh culture.
Flavored Yogurt
• With Jam: Add 25 mL jam
to 250 mL Plain Yogurt
and refrigerate 2Z hours to
set and blend flavors.
• With Fruit: Add 25 mL
sugar to 250 mL Plain
Yogurt. Combine 50 mL
sliced or mashed fresh
fruit sweetened with 15
mL sugar OR 50 mL
chopped canned fruit and
25 mL syrup to 250 mL
sweetened yogurt.
Refrigerate 2 hours to set
and blend flavors.
TASTY TREAT
Want a tasty pick-me-up
for active children this
spring? Food specialists at
the Ontario Food Council,
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, suggest keeping plen
ty of flavorful, nutritious
grape juice on hand for
those growing youngsters.
Look for grape juice in
bottles and in the frozen con
centrate form. Both are
easy and convenient to
store.
Bottled grape juice,
made from top-quality On
tario grapes, contains only
the sugar from the grapes.
