Gives Menu for Meal
To Be Cooked Outdoors
Ames. Iowa (U.R1 Going
"out" for dinner tonight?
All you need is the food, a roll
of aluminum foil and an out
door fireplace.
Here's a mouth-watering out
door cookery menu from Har
riett Roberts, extension nutriti
onist at Iowa State college.
lhe dinner features broiled
steak and Lyonnaise potatoes.
Place the steak on a piece of
foil directly on top of the hot
coals. If you like your steak rare,
broil for 6 minutes on each side;
for medium, 8 minutes; for well
done, 10 minutes. Cut a large po
tato and an onion into thm slices.
Mix them and season with salt
and butter. Wrap in foil and cook
about 15 minutes.
Complete the main course
with corn, roasted the foil way,
says Miss Roberts. Pull the
shuck away from the ear. but
don't remove it entirely. Clean
out the corn silk and spread the
ear with butter or margarine.
Now pull the shuck over the
ear and wrap in foil. Lay on
grill or directly on the coals,
turning frequently. Roasting
should take 10 to 15 minutes.
Try fruit "kabobs" for dessert,
Alternate marshmallows and
pieces of fruit on green sticks.
Use apples, bananas, oranges, ap
ricots or prunes. Toast kabob
until it's brown. Put between
two graham crackers and serve.

Garden Therapy Good
For Veteran Patients
Pittsburgh (U.R) Garden
therapy is working wonders
among the sick in the veterans
hospitals of this area, thanks to
the women of the Blackridge
Garden Club.
The 11 women who comprise
the club's "Garden Therapy
Committee" took an orientation
course offered by one of the hos
pitals and then went to work.
They urged each patient to
plant a bulb or a house plant,
then watch it grow in his r.oom.
At holiday time, they give the
patients materials with which
to make a corsage for mother
or sweetheart.
The women visit the patients
on alternate Wednesdays.
Their program is the first of
its type in this area, and the
veterans' hospitals are so well
pleased they have invited other
garden clubs to participate.
