TERRE A CANE A OE By Meret een

Lois cooking at men’s club

I wangled an invita-
tion to join the
Men’s Club at
North Shore
Neighbourhood
House in their
_ weekly lunch exer-
. cise, and took my
husband along as a
sort of justification
for butting in.

(I was also secretly
hoping he might want te
take up these culinary
skills. It didn’t work.)

It pleased me greatly
to find the men were ivi
very good hands. The
hands belong to Ma‘-i,
which you say more or
less like Mary, and I was
astounded at the scope of
her instruction. In this
lesson they were to make

_ 4 pasta dish, spaghetti in
this case, plus, of course,
~ a delicious sauce.

‘The men had made
the sauce in class about a
month prior, and it was
perfect — one should
make all sauces a month

“in advance, judging by
the success of this one. I
‘should have asked for the

vintage
years

recipe. Darn it. I neglect-
ed to do so. Maybe I can
do another wangle some
day.

But the most astunish-
ing aspect of this particu-
lar class was that they
made the spaghetti them-
selves. No, really. They
had the flour in a bowl
and the water measured
into it — not just one
bowl, of course, there
were two going at the
same time — and they
kneaded and kneaded
and squeezed and rolled
and finally achieved a
manageable blob. Then
the biob had to be rolled
and rolled and rolled
some more the other way
until it was the correct
thickness for stripping
into the long strips which.
would become veritable

_ Spaghetti.

Pd never seen one of
the litde hand-strippers
that they were using. The
dough went into the cup
on the top and came our,
well, like limp spaghetti,
having, been forced into
the proper lice knives
inside. Whew, it seemed
to take hours.

Some of the men were
more successful than oth-
ers, of course — some
got the hang of it early,
others never did. Never
would.

But the effort was
worth it when the “trees”
of long dough-threads
began to accumulate and
it was time for the boil-
ing. The trees for drying
were just that, several
skinny wooden arms
sticking out on which to
drape the spaghetti strips.

Mairi had a huge caul-
dron coming to the boil
on the kitchen range, and
the pasta was introduced
into it for-a very bricf
time. It cooks very quick-
ly of course. The vintage
sauce was also heating
nicely and so in good
order we al! sat down to
a delicious plateful, grac-

Besides the cookery,
the men have regular
classes in fitness, and also
make various sorties into
interesting parts of the
Lower Mainland, or 10
the homes of interesting
people, as well as to some
of the institutions for the
arts and sports and what-
ever clse their curiosities
direct them into.

It’s a loose connec-
tion. There are no over-
all fees. The men pay as
they go, which gives
them the frecdom to skip
a tour in which they have
no interest.

It’s not pertinent, per-
haps, but there is a new
ladics’ group coming into
bloom at the
Neighbourhood House,
which convenes while the
men do their cooking.
It’s billed as a coffee-
clatch, for coffee and chat
and perhaps there will
grow out of it such
things as a group interest
in an herb garden, say, or
just perhaps, in making
fresh pasta.
