_ 24 tablespoons butter

_L tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon each, sdgar and
vinegar
dash of ground ginger
The beauty of this recipe is that
you can prepare it early. Steam or
microwave the vegetables until just
crisp-tender. Immediately blanch
in ice water and drain. Bag and
refrigerate. Just before serving,
melt butter and add seasonings.
Toss the vegetables in the mixture
and heat gently.

If you aren't into preparing
your favorite souffle for dessert,
substitute lemon ice cream with
raspberry sauce, The sauce is easy
— drain frozen raspberries and
thicken the juice with a bit of cor-
nstarch - two teaspoons is usually
enough. Heat until thick, add ber-
ries and a dash of your favorite
fruit liqueur.
