I've been to a couple of
parties lately that were great
fun, had spectacular food and
were not much work or ex
pense for any one person. At a
time when we're all concerned
about the cost of food and our
other expenses. It' nice to
have the fun of entertaining
without the difficulties. These
parties were cooperative par
ties. Kind of like a potluck
horg d'oeuvres party. Each
person brought a party food or
a dessert that could be picked
up. such as cookies or candy.
That way, no one person had
to do all the work or bear all
the expense. There was a
generous amount of food, a
good variety and everyone
enjoyed seeing what the
others brought. It's nice to get
some new ideas for quick and
easy foods for entertaining.
There are ways to "have
your cake and eat it, too" as
far as entertaining is con
cerned. You can have the fun
of a party without a big
expense if you use your crea
tivity. Years ago when my
daughter was a baby and my
husband in school, we hardly
had a dime extra to spend. Our
friends were in the same
boat, so a party was popcorn,
punch and table games while
the kids slept in the bedroom.
Those were just as much fun
as any fancy cocktail party or
dinner out that I've ever been
to.
My husband's office has
"hair-cutting parties." When
he first asked me if I'd like to
go, I couldn't understand what
he was even talking about. It

seems that when they were
graduate" students, they didn't
have money for haircuts so
Ihey'd get together, throw a
little money into the pot for the
refreshments and cut each
other's hair. Now thesfaculty
and the graduate students get
together regularly. They're
great fun though I haven't
been brave enough to let them
cut my hair yet.
There are ways to lower the
cost of entertaining:
let guests bring foods or
beverages so they share the
cost and the time it takes' to
have a party.
don't buy expensive spe
cialty foods. Research on the
food that is wasted shows that
this type of food frequently
shows up in the garbage.
trade time for money.
Make your own party foods
such as dips, crackers or
special spreads. Arrange your
own trays of meat and cheese.
choose lower-cost foods.
Most people don't need to have
a complete meal at a party, so
feature lower-cost fruits and
vegetables and eliminate or be
conservataive on meats and
cheeses. If you do choose
meat, make it something you
can stretch, like meatballs
that have added bread.
fix a punch or have people
bring their own beverages.
There are also ways to make
entertaining easier:
keep the food and the
entertainment simple. Vou
don't have to dazzle everyone
with 20 choices. Fix three or
four inexpensive or filling
items.
make a menu that uses
items that are on sale.

let people help. You know
the people who arrive early
are going to ask if they can
help. Have jobs organized so
they can do them without
running into each other.
remember that the people
are more important than the
house. It's nice to have things
in reasonable order, but
there's seldom a need to clean
every inch of the house.
Here are a couple of my
favorite party foods. The flat
bread is a brand new one to
me. but so inexpensive and
good tasting. It was served at
a super fancy restaurant and
when I raved about it, my
friends said, "I have a recipe
that's like this." A super find.
The other recipe is a fairly
expensive one but easy to do
ahead. I usually only make it
when mushrooms are on sale.
Sardinian-Style thin Bread
2' cups flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
"2 cup lukewarm water (110
degrees)
v cup cooking oil
Sesame seeds, if desired
In a bowl stir together flour,
sugar, salt and baking pow
der. Stir in water and cooking
oil. Mix by hand until dough
can be gathered into a ball. (If
needed, add more water, one
tablespoon at a time.) Let
dough rest 15 minutes. Divide
into 10 portions, shape into
balls. I used a cornstarch puff
to lightly flour the surface.
Any porous cloth can be used.
Fill with dry cornstarch, tie
the corners of the cloth toge
ther and bounce it on the
surface and the rolling pin.
Roll each ball out very thin,
to about an 8-inch circle. It
will be an irregular shape.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if
desired, and roll again, pres
sing the seeds into the dough.
Place 2 rounds on a lightly
greased baking sheet. Bake in
a 450 degree oven for about 5
to 7 minutes or until lightly
browned in spots. Remove
from oven, cool on wire rack.
Roll and bake remaining
dough. Store in an air tight
container. The large sheets
can be broken into two or
three large sections and
served with butter or marga
rine. Marinated Mushrooms
2 pounds fresh mushrooms
s-cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped green
onions
1 or 2 cloves garlic, pressed or
minced fine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tarragon
vinegar
1 cup salad oil
1 teaspoon salt
'i teaspoon pepper
Steam the mushrooms until
slightly soft on the surface,
about 5 minutes. Cool. Cover
with a tight lid and store in
refrigerator for at least over
night to have flavors pene
trate. Can be stored two or
three weeks. Can be drained
and used as a salad or served
as an appetizer.

Ducks no
welcome
A dramatic increase in the
number of waterfowl (primarily
mallard ducks and Canadian
geese) overwintering in the South
Columbia Basin has led Portland
General Electric to initiate a
duck dispersal program at
McCarty Reservoir.
The reservoir acts as a cooling
facility for PGE's 530 megawatt
coal-fire plant 17 miles west of
Boardman. The 140 acre pond is a
man-made facility which was
constructed in 1978 and filled with
Columbia River water in 1979.
In the past around 18 percent of
the 1.2 million waterfowl in the
Columbia Basin wintered in the
South Columbia Basin (Morrow
and Umatilla Counties in Oregon
and Benton County in Washing
ton). Almost none of those birds
were in the area of the coal-fire
plant. In 1982 the South Basin
hosted 77 percent of the birds,
over 500,000. in the Basin and
most of them were out at McCar
ty. According to PGE wildlife bio
logist, Ron Klein, the pond didn't
become a duck attraction until
the plant went into operation and
the water no longer froze over.
Compounding the problem was
also a sharp increase in corn
production in the surrounding
areas at the same time. The
combination of the warm waters
and abundant food has lured the
ducks from their traditional win
tering site throughout the Colum
bia Basin.
Two concerns were raised by
the concentration of the birds at
McCarty Reservoir. The major
one was a lack of birds in the
other areas of the Basin for
hunters. The other was the op
portunity for the spread of dis
ease, enhanced by the warm
waters and large numbers of

A gift exchange with gifts
costing $3 or less will be held

boys, a gift for a boy.
AH 4-H members are invited

spokesperson said.

fowl.
Unable to allow hunting on the
reservoir because of EPA quality
restrictions and reluctant to
spend 12 million dollars to meet
those standards. Portland Gene
ral Electric has initiated a duck
dispersal program based on those
used successfully in the Willa
mette Valley in Oregon and the
Sacramento Valley in California.
The program is built around 15
propane-powered "cannons" at a
cost of $4,000. which fire automa
tically and should scare the ducks
and geese away. The "cannons"
will be placed around the pond in
areas where the birds tend to
congregate and the timing of the
"booms" will be changed so that
the fowl don't become accus
tomed to it.
The noise produced by the
"cannons" is quite loud and has
been rated at 135 decibels at 100
feet.
The program will not attempt
to scare away the birds until their
numbers reach 50.000 which
should be in early December, and
will end on January 22. 1984. a
date which coincides with the end
of hunting season. The program
which will be closely monitored
could also be halted by the
outbreak of disease among the
birds. It is felt that if the popula
tion is diseased that it would be
best to attempt-to isolate them in
the area by not scaring them
away and also not adding to the
stress of the situation for the
birds.
Efforts are also being made
throughout the region to make
other areas more attractive to
the birds. The increase in corn
crops in a wider area has already
shown some response and some
of the refuges in the North Basin
area have been closed to hunting.
