Summer no time to be chained to stove

Barbara

BUCGET BEATERS

A FEW weeks ago we were
bounced out of our beds in
the early hours of the morn-
ing as pianes roared over,
bombing gypsy moths. Fine.
They scared heii out of me
(you too?), our cats freaked
and it was altogether an
unpleasant scene.

With that in mind, who was the

nerd who decided to kick off early
Cansda Day celebrations with jets
“howling over our rooftops? Tc
me, it was like celebrating the
cease-fire in the Middle East with
a mock raid. :

1 think Canada is the finest
place in the worid and everyone
likes a party. But please, nerd,
spare me the jets..

I'm expecting a houseful of
guests. In fact, every spare bed in
the place might be filled by this
weekend. | intend to visit, not be
chained to the stove. Here are a
few things I’m making ahead and
freezing.

Frozen Raspberry Cheesecake

This keeps for two months if

Graham Cracker Crust

I buy graham crumbs in bulk.
1% cups graham cracker crumbs
Ye cup sugar
Ys cup melted margarine

Spray a large pie plate. Com-
bine ingredients and spread over
the sides and bottom evenly. Press
down . with a spoon or your
fi ingertips. Bake at 325°, eight
minutes. .

This next recipe violates one of
my principles — never eat ur-
cooked egg or undercooked
poultry products. It’s an old reci-

pe and I can’t duplicate it using

cooked egg whites. Please be
careful with any poultry product.
In this case, use the freshest eggs
you can buy.

Do not use an egg that has been
previously cracked. Keep eggs
strictly refrigerated.

If you are using eggs for a
cooked product such as a souffle,

“they wiil beat to a higher volume

if brought to room temperature.

Do not do that with this recipe!

Freeze.

Both of these pies serve six to
eight. They need about an hour
thawed in the refrigerator before
they will cut nicely. Either can be
topped with:

@ the drained raspberry juice,
heated and thickened with a teas-
poon of cornstarch;

®@ additional whipped cream;

@ aspoonful of fresh berries;
@ all of the above!

What else am I stockpiling? I
know. you have clipped these reci-
pes and have them on file:

© bran muffins (this is the one
with buttermilk. The batter keeps
for days in the refrigerator, bake
as you wish).

@ cabbage rolls. I make a huge
quantity and serve them with
ham, scalloped potatoes and
salad. £ cheat a lot with the
potatoes — buy Idahoan brand —
one package serves three.

@ Canneloni — printed the rec-
ipe a short while ago. 1! think it’s
nicer than lasagne.
