Lately- 1 -seem to be
thinking a lot about food.
This is my second column in •
four weeks on the subject.
But why not'' It's one'of my
favourite topics.
This summer gave me a
chance to travel and to
sample the cuisine of dif-
\[erent restaurants. Of
course. 1 ate my share of hot
. dogs. hamburgers and -
french fries _ at take out
windows. but I also enjoyed

didn't have to drive far or
pay high prices to enjoy good
food. fast. efficient and
friendly service and relaxing
atmospheres. Some of the
best places to eat are close to
-home.
On a week end in Toronto,
though, I thought I'd splurge
on some high-class meals in
some high-class eating
establishments. regardless
of the cost. 1 received a few
surprises.
The only thing that was
high-class about the first
restaurant was its location -
on the roof_ of a hotel.

was an exorbitant price until
I tasted the food. The salads
were bountiful. but they all

that accompanied the salads

Need cool storage ..
for root vegetables
Vegetables don't go south
for the winter. Those that
are harvested late can be
stored under cool. moist
conditions and retain their
freshness throughout the
winter months. They include
the root crop — beets
-carrots. parsnips and"
rutabagas as well as cab- "
bage. celery and pptatoes.
And so eomes the name
"root cellar" . • •
To ensure 'that these
vegetables don't dry up and "
shrivel during the winter
months. be sure to place
them in perforated
polyethylene bags. Carrots
will keep for four to five
months if properly wrapped
and stored at a temperature
of 0.O`C or 32°F4 rutabagas.
