Smoked Picnic, Convenient Cut for
Serving Buifet Supper on Holiday
By Maxine Boren
Statesman Womio'i Editor
Holiday time is open season for having folks over for a buffet
supper, luncheon or dinner. Every woman wants to set a nice
table, but she also aims at spending as little time in the kitchen
preparing the meal as possible.
The ready-to-eat picnic (smoked pork shoulder) answers Just
about all the requirements.; It's tops in looks, -simple to prepare,
and highly -popular.
You don't have to cook it at all if you like.
For a hearty buffet table, glaze, slice and serve the picnic
cold "as is" with a casserole of hot baked beans, a fruit and
vegetable slaw, crisp relishes and well-seasoned deviled eggs.
A ready-to-eat picnic can also be heated through in slow
oven (about IV to 1 hours, depending on the weight) for hot
service, if you wish. Accompany the rosy-hued meat slices with
sweet potatoes, baked stuffed onions, and whole cranberry sauce
for a meal that's planned to satisfy the holiday crowd. Always
purchase a well known brand picnic and follow the heating direc
tions printed on the wrapper for best results.
At the end of the heating period, or just before you serve the
cold buffet picnic, cover the top with a gleaming glaze. It's no
trick to remove the skin and score the fat into diamond shapes.
Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and honey, peach or orange
marmalade, or try this suggestion for a golden-tone sugar and
fruit glaze.
To make, combine 1 cup of brown sugar with Vt cup orange
juice, 1 tablespoon dry mustard and 2 teaspoons of vinegar in a
sauce-pan. Heat and simmer the mixture gently about 10 min
utes cool and spread over the picnic. Just before serving, bake in
a hot oven (450) about 13 minutes until browned. .- -
Accompany the glazed picnic with your favorite ham garnish
or trim the platter with tinted pear bells made by adding 2 or S
drops of red food coloring to canned pear halves in syrup. A
cream cheese bell clapper attached to the stem end of each pear
adds a finishing note of holiday cheer.
Good eating comes easy throughout the week with the remain
ing picnic on hand to combine in a variety of meals. The larger
picnic slices are wonderful for a midweek breakfast or brunch,
pan-fried with eggs or covered with marmalade and broiled to
serve with waffles or pancakes. Combine any remaining picnic
slices with scalloped potatoes or corn for a satisfying luncheon
or supper dish. From the; first meat slice carved at the table to
the tip end of the bone used to flavor soup, the picnic is used
without a bit of waste. J
PICNIC AND: SCALLOPED POTATOES

of the picnic. Cover with second third of .the potatoes, then re
maining picnic and potatoes. Sprinkle remainder of flour -salt
mixture on top of potatoes. Dot top with butter. Pour milk over

Questions on Storage Space Problems
In Home, in Small Kitchens, for Toys
By Sue Gardner
(Q) "We recently bought
home with a long, narrow kitchen-dinette
and our immediate
proDiem is one
of surface and
storage space.
The few kitch
en cabinets
now up are
high on the
walj and diffi
cult to reach, so
we can only use ,
ing articles we
seldom use.
Can you sug
gest a way of
making the kitchen more
venient as a workroom?"
(A) You will probably want
some kind of divider between
the kitchen and the dinette and
I suggest you buy two or three
metal cabinets the height of a
work table. This will give you
storage space for groceries or
dishes and at the same time will
provide a surface space on which
to put pans or dishes while you
are preparing a meal or clearing

I
con-
the table. Select a dinette set
with a durable top which will
also serve as a work table when
you want to prepare a meal for
a large group and serve it in the
living room. If you find you still
need more storage room, you can
buy one tall cabinet to fit Into
a corner or section of the dinette
kitchen, where it will not be in
trie way to interfere with your
working.
(Q) "I have two small chil
dren whose collection of toys are
all over the house. I wonder if
there is a good toy holder of
some kind that would encourage
them to keep their playthings in
one spot."
(A) One of the most effective
toy holders I have seen was a
three-section unpaired wooden
piece a friend bought and dec
orated attractively with enamel
paint and decals for her child.
The two outer sections consist of
open shelves and the drawers for
small items that get under foot
and the shelves for dolls and
larger toys.
