GRINDS MEAT CUTS When the McBurneys order a Aialf beel she has .tie butcher cui ijie cnoice roasts ana pot roasts and the steals, th'ch grind the rest of the meat twice to use in a variety of dishes. This, she finds, s more convenient and economical than having a lot of irregular cuts. In addi tion, she watches fpr specials on choice cuts of meat, poultry anjl frozen vegetables, which are cheaper, if bought by the case. There are few foods Mrs. Mc Burney hasn't frozen successful ly with -the exception of potato dishes. The one way to find out if something will freeze, she points out, is to try it. She freezes left-over egg whites and yolks, and even whole eggs 1 (broken into a container), if she has extra eggs on hand or the family is going on a' trip. The only limit to the pos sibilities for your freezer is with you," she said. "I'm constantly finding new ones." As she talked in the sunny yel low kitchen of her Charnp lton St. home, Mrs. McBurney 'prepared a hurry-up luncheon (partly from the freezer, of course spaghetti, salad, cookies and milk) for Mike, 11, and his S-year-old sister, Nan cy. As energetic as his mother, Mike is spending a summer crammed with activities swim- ing, camping, baseball, Scouting, plus the daily three-hour summer athletic program at the Univer sity of Oregon. BUDDING SCIENTIST A budding scientist, he had spent part of the morning chloro forming a bee for his sister who took delight in exhibiting on wad of cotton "my very own bee." Later the pair examined the bee under Mike s microscope. While Mrs. McBurney devotes considerable time and thought to cooking and homemaking, her interests are by no means con fined by the walls of her beauti fully appointed home. She spent two years as a Boy Scout den mother, is active in church and Sunday School work, plays bridge with the neighborhood bridge club and is to serve as secretary of Francis Willard School PTA. She's turned out a number of handsome knit sweaters "and dresses. (Register-Guard pliolo, Wiltshire eng.)
