Party Gaiety
In Box Lunches
A bit of old-fashioned charm in
modern dress sets the theme for
a teenage party idea a box
supper social, 1955 style.
Ask each girl coming to the par
ty to bring a tasty "sandwich and
. . ." supper for two. Tell her to
wrap her box as "fetchingly" as
she knows how. At the party have
the fellows bid against each other
for each box and the privilege
of sharing its contents with the
owner.
You can suggest this party idea
as a way for teens to raise small
funds for youth center activities,
or for the youth group in their
church.
Keep it very simple, or make the
occasion a bit more festive with
colorful Japanese-lantern decora
tions in the back yard. The teen
agers might even think it fun to
come in costume. Boys can wear
derby hats and bright plaid vests.
The girls will find it easy to create
"gay-nineties" outfits from their
own wardrobes.
, As the hostess, you can provide
lemonade to drink. and ice cream
for dessert. After supper, put on
phonograph records and let the
young people dance. Or, plan
games in which all can partici
pate. A 1955 version of the old - time
box supper social will appeal to
the college set, too. It's a fun way
to meet with hometown chums dur
ing summer vactions from school.
What to do with that leftover
ham? Dice and mix with cream
sauce and cooked drained green
peas; serve over cornmeal waf-flel.

Sandwich Time Is
For Freezing Tips
A home freezer can be
your
treasure chest" for summer eat
ing. Let it simplify your meal
making during August.
The complete sandwich meal
scores as one of America's favor
ites. Freeze sandwiches, from the
hearty he-man type to dainty tea
morsels for casy-do, around-the-clock
meal preparation when
the mercury climbs.
Sandwiches keep as long as two
weeks in the freezer or freezing
compartment of your refrigerator.
If you're planning to use sand
wiches within a week of freezing,
a double thickness of heavy wax
ed paper is sufficient protection.
For longer storage, a moisture-yapor-proof
material such as alum
inum foil, plastic film or cello
phane gives best results. Store
sandwiches awav from the sides
of the freezer to minimize frost in
side the wrapper.
When preparing sandwiches for
the freezer, spread the bread with
butter or margarine, before add
ing the filling. Do not use mayon
naise as a spread since it sepa
rates on freezing and soaks into
the bread.
The best fillings for frozen sand
wiches include peanut butter,
sliced or ground meat, fish, chick
en and cheese or cheese snreads.
You may arid sliced or chopped
olives and dill or sweet pickles to
any of these fillings. Lettuce, cel
ery, tomatoes, carrots and other
crisp vegetables change in flavor
and texture on freezing and are
best added just before eating.
Hard-cooked egg yolks freeze well,
but the whites develop off-flavors
ana tend to toughen.
Most sandwichs will thaw In
on to two hours just enough
time in many cases to drive out
on a picnic. Open-face sandwiches
thaw most quickly. Do not ire
move the outer wrapping until the
sandwiches are partially thawed.
If not served immediately after
thawing, hold sandwiches in the
refrigerator. Sandwiches should he
eaten soon after thawing to pre
vent spoilage.
ADDED ATTRACTION
Give added zest and flavor to
your next package of frozen peas
and carrots. Just add 1 tsp. of
finely chopped onion and Vt tsp
crushed, dried mint leaves. It's a
taste treat to delight the whole
family.
