Cool Tactics
L Y N N CHAM BERS' M E N U
As soon as w a rm e r w eather starts
seeping into the house, m any a wom ­
an asks the a ll-im p o rta n t question,
"H o w can I kfcep cool and s till cook
fo r the fa m ily ? ”
T ha t is a neat tric k , but you can
do it, too. The fir s t th in g is to plan
y o u r menus so there are no long
cooking ideas in them . M ake a point
o f not selecting a n yth in g th a t w ill
re q u ire m ore than 30 m inutes cook­
ing.
The second is to do m ost of yo u r
w o rk in the cool of the m orn in g , so
th a t you won’ t be spending too m uch
tim e rig h t at supper tim e when it is
so w a rm .
The th ird is to plan a ll-cool meals
and get the p re p a ra tion out of the
w ay before hot w eather re a lly hits
you. There are a n um ber of cool
ideas such as m eat o r m e a t-fo rtifie d
salads th a t can be whipped together
e a rly and stored u n til supper tim e.
Do this once o r tw ice a week and
see how n ice ly it works.
Here are several ideas th a t w o n 't
req u ire m uch a ctual cooking prepa­
ration. Use them often fo r va rie ty.
