SUNDAY DINNER
By CORA ANTHONY '
Director of A&P Kitchen
TURKEY and leftovers now seem
further in the past than Christmas
in the future. Simple wholesome meals
will be the rule for the next few weeks.
Pork is now the most economical meat
though beef, lamb, veal and smoked
meats are all moderate in price.
Butter has risen in price for the
first time in five months, but is still
remarkably low for the season. Egg
prices are expected to drop just as
soon as last spring’s chickens start to
lay. A mild open season usually en
courages this state of affairs. Cheese
remains one of our best and most eco
nomical foods.
The cabbage family and citrus fruits
are abundant and most attractively
priced.
Three Sunday dinner menus follow:
Low Cost Dinner
Fresh Pork Shoulder Brown Gravy
Browned Potatoes Scalloped Cabbage
Bread and Butter
Apple Pie
Tea or Coffee Milk
Medium Cost Dinner
Roast Loin of Pork Brown Gravy
Sweet Potatoes anct Apples Spinach
Bread and Butter
Snow Pudding with Custard Sauce
Tea or Coffee Milk
Very Special Dinner
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Roast Beef Mashed Potatoes
French Style Green Beans
Salad of Mixed Greens
