BUDGET BEAT

WE’ VE BEEN nearly a
month on the road and,
keeping close track, have
eaten only seven meals in
restaurants. Mind you, the
ones we did order were thie
best we could find, not one
stop in Ma’s Hash House.

After weeks of ambling through
the countryside, blitzing antique
shops and admiring the Atlantic. we
reluctantly hit the famous 1-95 this
morning. Until now, we've stayed
away from big cities — I don’t con-
sider Ottawa or Halifax big — at
least compared to Boston. We skirt-
ed it, and an hour's worth of too
many lanes and too much traffic.

The 1-95 sure gets you going
though. In five hours we went
through four states: New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Massaschusets
and Connecticut. We hope to be in
Washington, D.C. tomorrow.

It's always interesting to read
the newspapers. This morning's
Boston Globe was full of Northern
Italian specialties, This recipe
sounds wonderful.

2 Tbsp. olive oil

6 ripe tomatoes, cored and
coarsely chopped

1 clove garlic

% Ib. sea scallops, cut in half (Pd
use more!)

1¢, bottled clam juice

2 Thsp. drained capers

¥% tsp. dried red pepper flakes

2 Tbsp. chopped Italian persley

Kosher salt and freshly cracked
pepper to taste

% ¢. freshly grated Parmesan
Cook spaghetti according to

package directions. While it cooks,

heat the oi] in a large frying pan.

Add tomatoes and cook 5 minutes

over medium heat. Add the garlic

and scallops and cook, stirring for 3

minutes. Add the clam juice, capers

and red pepper and boil. Toss with

cooked spaghetti, season and top

with parsley and cheese. Serves 4.

Shopping in food markets in
various parts of the country can
give you quite an insight into
what's popular.

Throughout’ the Atlantic
provinces and states it appears that
sweet potatoes or yams are as popu-
lar as white potatoes. Cost less, too.

Here’s a quick recipe passed out
in a grocery store — very similar to
the way we cooked Hubbard squash
when f was a child.

FLUFFY SWEET POTATOES
6 medium sweet potatoes (about
the same size as a medium

white potato)
3 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. cream
3 Tbsp. sherry
Topping:
1 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. molasses
