SEAFOOD PUFF PAS TRY

ertaining

F YOu’ RE planning any entertaining this
week, don’t miss the scallops ($4.59 Ib.) and
shrimps ($4.89 Ib.) at Super Valu. Try them in a
rich white wine and cream sauce and topped with

puff pastry.

I’ve bought a set of in-
dividual oval casseroles to
serve all sorts of meals and
desserts from and these are
great for the shrimp and
scallops — 1 cut the puff
pastry in fish shapes com-
plete with fins and a beady
eye. The fish-sauce mixture
can be made ahead. Cut the

pastry (frozen variety) and
refrigerate separately. Com-
bine .and bake about 20
minutes or until pastry is puf-
fy and brown. White rice
with a handful of chopped
parsley tossed in just before
serving is a good choice to go
along.

Also at Super Valu, don’t

miss the Five Alive fruit
beverage at $1.29 (355 ml).
It’s not on our regular
breakfast menu because it’s
normally too expensive —
and it contains sugar — but
it’s great for an occasional
treat. Mixes well with vodka,
too.

at $2 a pound appeal to me
just as much as the same cut
at a cute $1.99. I appreciate
the salute to my intelligence.

If you’re teoking for
something different for your
BBQ, pick up a small, bone-
less leg of pork at Wood-
wards for $2.49 a pound. Cut
it into small (3/4’’) cubes and
string on bamboo skewers.
(You can get a huge package
of these in Chinatown for $1.
Soak them in cold water
before using.) String the pork
leaving a bit of room between
each cube to ensure complete
cooking. I skewer onion,
green pepper, mushrooms,
zucchini, tomatoes etc.
separately and add to the grill
when the meat is half done.

Buy Low is the place to
buy fresh peaches (49¢ a
pound) and nectarines (67¢ a
pound) this week. Aside from
eating out of hand as most
kids seem to prefer, both
fruits make great pies, cob-
blers and flans. If you’re feel-
ing too lazy to bake, try slic-
ing the fruit and soaking for
a while in fruit brandy. Serve
over sliced white cake with
whipping cream or simply
over vanilla ice cream. You
won’t find an easier company
dessert than that!

Niagara frozen orange
juice is a super buy this week
at IGA — 88¢ a 341 mi. tin.
If your freezer is as empty as
mine you’ll have room to
stock up on a case lot.

too, are a good cut for

Summer always brings its
share of parties and with the
economy slump, many of
these are ‘‘bring your own
steak’’ barbecues. Since the
scene at the grill can be
chaotic, this is no place to br-
ing prime filet.

often happens at parties.
Twist-tie them in a bag
with the pointed ends poking
out the top and for extra
security set the bag or bags

use my _ steel skewers or

can be left behind.
