The kitchen environment does nothing to harm this en- dearing style, but rather simply furnishes another Stage. When learning to saute, for instance, they say “Margarine? What's the matter with butter?” When reminded that it costs three times as much, they show genuine puzzlement, and say “But it tastes better.” They see no urgency in learning to bone a chicken breast when the whole world knows you can buy them that way. How many times have I heard them say, “Surely you can buy that in a can? Why all the chopping? Where's the food processor?” Tub takes foll WEST HAVEN, Conn. (UPI) — A physician says men who use hot tubs may suffer lowered sperm count leading to temporary in- fertility. Dr. Kenneth Cohen cautioned his theory was based on only one case - a man in his 30s who com- plained of infertility. Cohen is associate chief of staff at West Haven Veterans Hospital. Tests showed the man had a sperm count of only 4 million per cubic cenumeter of semen, instead of the average 30 to 100 milhon, Cohen said Monday He said the man used a hot tub up to four times a week for about 20 minutes. The temperature in a hot tub for both the traditional and ' th reaches 105 to 108 degrees. Four months after the patient stopped using the hot tub, his sperm count in- creased to 40 million sperm per cubic centimeter, Cohen said. “This is all speculation at this time, based on a single case,” the doctor said. “I wouldn't blow a_ whistle saying everybody has to stop using hot tubs.” He said he plans to study other hot tub users before drawing conclusions. \ Credit automated " office-—typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, plus. introduction ta Computers and Word | Processors., The Business Office Training: Program may be taken on a full-time or part-time : basis.

They run on a different set of rails. When they finally graduate, and write cook- books, the blind price eye stays with them. “Melt half a pound of butter,” they say, casually. “Buy a 5-7 Ib. (11.0-15.4 kg) rolled fillet of beef”; “get a boned leg of lamb,” “chop two pounds of pecans.” They also find it hard to conceal completely their concern that practising homecooking will affect--- uh---the old image. One such author, an American named Mike McGrady, says that when he's serving the pie he just lifted out of the oven, he does what any real man would do---he tells the guests his wife made it!

Bend each side back, punch up with your fingers and snap out the breast bone. That should do it.” Some punch up, some fingers. I'll see you in the emergency ward.
