With an increasing number of
Back Mountain homemakers return-
¢ to the job market, they are
ntinuously looking for easy-to-pre-
pare menus for their families. It
seems seldom a day goes by that
one doesn't hear one or more of
these women say “If only I knew
what to have for dinner".
The hot, humid weather we have
had this summer discourages diners
from eating heavy, cooked meals.
Instead they prefer foods that are
tasty, light and attractively served.
More and more persons, men and
women, are developing a ‘salad
tooth’ whether for the main course,
vegetable, or a salad on the side.
Most restaurants now offer a salad
bar for their patrons which have
become a factor in where diners
stop to eat.
In order to offer a few salads
other than the normal run of potato
salad, bean salad, fruit salad or cole
slaw, this week the Post Cookbook
shares a Ham-Fruit Ring, Spinach
Flambe, Daiquiri Salad and a
Ginger Salad Dressing for the bene-
fit of our readers.
The Ham-Fruit Ring is almost a
meal in itself. The Spinach-Bacon
Flambe looks spectacular and it is
easy to do. Just start with hot food
and an 80-proof liqueur such as
rum, brandy, or a favorite fruit
liqueur. Heat the liqueur in a long-
handled pan, then ignite carefully
and pour over the food and stir. The
alcohol will burn off but the flavor
will remain. For a special effect,
dim the lights.
