Thousand Wanda Dressing (I) --
Plain mayonnaise is not .a, goo.d
dressing for lettuce, and ea the
green salads related to lettuce, but
mayonnaise more highly seasoned
and thinn.ed with mane tomato inix-
ture is quite generally liked. The
simplest smealled Thoueatrel Islands
Dressing is a mixture of mayonnaise
and ehili sauce, the omirser piecee
being ,thopped flea But if one has
not the chili sauce ;some .co.oketl to,
mato, boiled down and sifted,
makes a han.cleoune and w.ell-flayored

p04 with a bit of onion and per-
haps some green pepper and dress-
ed with Ealt and vinegar or with a
French arming may be added,
enough to tarin the mayonnaise 550-
oeptably, and this dep.encle on how
thick the latter is. Mayonnaise
keeps well, but at some tempera,
tures it thickens .and in others
grows thin. In the ordinary fee -box
it clues not change much if any.

recipe: Mix two tablespo.ons each

Liver braised and garnished with
