BUDGET BEATERS

HAVING GUESTS is a
great. opportunity to ex-
periment with some of those
recipes I’ve clipped — ycars
of them. Many of my
favorite standbys started life
in the pages of some
publication. However, by
the time I get through with
them they often bear little
resemblance to the original.

This week {ve my share of
guests so | spent a few hours get-
ting my Jarder filled.

Have | got some winners for
you!

This first recipe is adapted from
an old recipe in Good Housckeep-
ing magazine. The ingredients are
unchanged but the method of
preparation is streamlined. It is so
quick to make when you make use
of your blender.

I served it for dinner on Thurs-
day night — there were nine of
us, including guests from Halifax
and Los Angeles. Everyone raved.
} sneaked a forbidden bite and
I'm glad I’ve got willpower — this
could be renamed Midnight
Downfall to anyone on a diet.
