THE CHOWAN HERALD^ b The Herald Kitchen Celebrates Mother’s Day, 1979 By Mildred Huskins Mothers are for spoiling— at least one day a year. Even in these days of liberated households, Mother still usually prepares the majority of the 1,095 family meals demanded in-a year’s time. That alone merits the luxurious breakfast we have in mind for her Mother’s Day, the one day of the year set aside in her honor. Naturally, the breakfast is not to be made by Mom herself! Everyone including small children can have a hand in its creation. And while the dishes on this menu could be exquisitely presented on a bed tray that Sunday morning, each recipe provides enough food reward all the loving, vtstwhile cooks. Set the littlest youngster to work on Berry Yogurt Topping for fresh juicy grapefruit halves. Mixing the diced strawberries with vanilla yogurt couldn’t be easier, and garnishing the topping, just like sundae, is a lot of fun. Fritata Almondine, the main dish for Mom’s day breakfast or brunch, is a sophisticated offering, but not so complicated that she will have to make it. There must be someone in the family who would like to show off baking skill so do it with Orange Turnovers Orlando. Mom will be im For ALL Your Roofing Needs PERRY 482-8579 EDENTON, N.
