Modern ; cooks do it easily with the aid of heavy duty aluminum foil ; ior a special occasion buffet or dinner. ' Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor ' Salmon, Whole or in Pieces I Baked in Aluminum Foil 1 To bake a whole salmon for a special occasion buffet or dinner is not a difficult under taking. Lacking the oval , shaped fish poacher of old- time kitchens-reven the pro . per platter for serving, these can be fashioned with the aid of versatile aluminum foil This delicious coast-caught ; king of the sea becomes a "spectacular thing when served whole in the grand manner, nested as in our pic ture in a wreath of delicate greenery decked with lemon and accompanied by a divine sauce. For smaller family serving, a three to four pound piece of salmon can be baked in exact ly the same manner as whole salmon use half the wine-herb mixture and make half the amount of sauce. Allow 15 minutes per pound in a mod erate, 375 degree, oven. Salmon Spectacular A 7 to 10 pound salmon will fit the average oven, will . serve 10 to 16 persons gener ously. If any is left over, it is superlative served cold with curried mayonnaise. With head, fish will measure up to 19 inches in length. Trim tail and if desired, remove head; rinse and place on paper towels to dry. Meanwhile, place three fourths cup dry white wine (half lemon juice and half water may be substituted) in a saucepan. Add three sprigs fresh thyme (one-fourth tea sooon dry), a sprig of rose- m a r y ' (one-fourth teaspoon dry), celery leaves from a . small stalk, three minced scallions (green onions), two . slices whole lemon (to add flavor of rind) and three pep percorns. Let this steep for 30 minutes without boiling. To Make a Pan For baking the fish, make a pah like this: double fold 18-inch-wide heavy duty alu minum foil (be sure it . is heavy duty foil) to form sheet a little longer than the fish and turn . edges up all around. Now lay the fish lengthwise on another long sheet of heavy duty foil and pour over the warm wine v with flavoring ingredients, pouring some inside the open ing, and salt the flsn ngnuy Fish Baking Bring foil up over fish from either side, overlapping snugly at the top. Turn , up the foil at head and tail so juices won't run out. Place on the already formed pan and transfer to a preheated me ' dium hot, 375 degree, oven; bake for 12 to 15 minutes per nnunrl, ) An eieht-Dound fish : will take approximately two : hours. Wrapped in foil, the wine and herbs really flavor the ; fish with a wonderfully elu sive and delicate taste. Open the foil when, baking time is about up. Test for doneness by inserting a fork in the side. If flesh flakes easily, lifts off - the bone, it is done. Reclose foil and continue baking, if not done. , Sauce Making While fish is baking, the sauce may be started. Mince two scallions (green onions) and saute with one-half cup (one stick) butter until trans- : parent. Add six tablespoons ' flour and stir and cook gent ly without browning for three minutes. Let stand until fish is done. With a large spoon or turkey baster, dip or si- nhon out juices and add to butter mixture in saucepan. ' Add one-half cup dry white wine (same as that in wine and herb mixture) and enough boiling water to make five cups liquid. Stir and cook mixture until thick and smooth. Add one-half cup cream. Correct seasoning with additional salt and pep per to taste. Strain. Just be fore serving, add the lightly beaten yolks of one or two eggs and beat sauce until light with a whisk. Grand Finale Use th baking foil to trans fer the warm fish to a serv ing platter. Remove the skin from the fish. This lifts off easily to expose tender moist flesh of an exquisite pink tint.j Remove seasoning herbs. Sur-j round the fish with tender chickory, fresh basil, lemon wedges and perhaps some small flowers of the season Sauce separately. ' ' 'To Make Platter. If a plat ter large enough to hold the fish is lacking, a . clean shingle, a piece of plyboard or the bread board from the kitchen cabinet can be used. Cover with, foil, if desired. The baking foil may be folded back and rolled attractively. Cold Salmon Buffet - , If the salmon spectacular described above is to be dra matically offered at a buffet- type meal, we suggest that two different types of sauce accompany it. A sauceboat of mayonnaise with a touch of curry added and a boat or bowl of dairy sour cream with capers added. For family serving, perhaps you'd like mayonnaise and dairy sour cream half and half with either a touch of curry or with capers added; not both since their flavors are so dis tinctive. Succulent Sausage Offers 'Menu Variety Sausage meats make good and easy meals. With no waste, sausage is easy to keep, easy to handle and a snap to serve. There are dozens of kinds to choose from; sausage for hot dishes, salads, sand wiches and cold meat platters. Try these for menu newness: Everybody loves pork sau sage links with scrambled eggs, morning, noon or night, Smoked Thuringer is a fine teammate with plentiful red cabbage. - Frankfurters and sauer kraut become something su per special when cooked with chopped apple, chopped onion and sauterne added. Liver sausage and Braun schweiger (smoked liver sau sage) are epicurean and sur prise almost everyone when pan broiled and accompanied by crisp- toast and lemon wedges. Chicken Trinidad For Memorable Meal The family deserves this Chicken Trinidad for a very special occasion or will make it a memorable occa sion. Guests will taut about it for a long time to come. It is elegant without being ex pensive because the' chicken breasts can be purchased as packaged separately. Here, flavor excitement lies in several directions; texture, too. There's a can of frozen concentrate for Pine apple Lemon punch; there's sliced pineapple, avocado and toast ed almonds. But read it and do your own rhapsodizing. Six servings. 6 chicken breasts Salt to taste cup salad oil 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon soy sauce Vi cup butter 1 6-ounce can frozen con centrate for Pineapple Lemon Punch 1 No. 303 can sliced pine apple ' 1 avocado, peeled and sliced ' 6 cups cooked rice V4 cup sliced or slivered toasted almonds Season chicken with salt.

Pour sauce over chicken; cov er. Bake in moderate, 350 de gree, oven 40-45 minutes or until meat is tender. Baste occasionally while baking. Ar range chicken on rice and pour sauce over. Heat pine apple in skillet, browning on both sides. Arrange pineapple and avocado slices around chicken; sprinkle all with toasted almonds. Valencias Are Coming California oranges are available the year round but the two principal varieties change with the seasons. In market November to May are Navel oranges, identified by the "navel" formation at blos som end. From May to No vember, Valencias are in max ket. April finds Navel or anges going, Valencias com ing; both very good buys at any time. When Swift Gets Lined Up, You Just Can't See Him It would be the most nat ural thing in the world to look for the "swift" to be on a fence, but the little lizard is equally at home on a tree or even scurrying around in the sand. The family of swifts, (and they are) of which there are somewhat over two dozen kinds in the the United States, are true lizards. Most of them prefer dry, sandy areas, some even having never been ob served anywhere near water, seeming to get all the mois ture they need from the dew that gathers on foliage. They live entirely on in sects which they stalk with stealth and cunning. The swift, commonly called the "fence, or swift lizard" has a tail slightly longer that the body, but the overall length seldom exceeds five or 5V4 inches. The tail is very flexi ble and can be lashed in such a way as to make the little animal appear very vicious and dangerous, althoueh ac tually he is perfectly harm less. Flexible Neck The animal's neck is also flexible, allowing the swift to look easily in any given direc tion. UnliKe their reptile rela tives, the swifts are very alert. active and wide awake. The fence lizard, althoueh related to the smaller-bodied chameleon, does not have the chameleon's ability of chang ing its body color. Actually the fence swift does not have to; his body-camouflage is "built-in," and it could hardlv be improved on as his perma nent color. i . Markings of black and gray closely resemble the bark of a tree, and he wisely knows enough to select that particular kind of tree on which to sit in order to be as. nearly invisible as possible. Lines Match The black lines in the bark match up with the dark lines on the lizard body, and both leave oit, ana begin, at ex actly the same place. The lining up of the body stripes with the markings of the tree bark is not at all an accident; the lizard has some sort of color sense that tells him when his markings line up with the bark. If, at a given instant, when the swift first comes to rest on the bark, his position is not exactly right, he . will shift his body, turn his head stretch out his neck or adjust himself until he ac tually disappears from sight. Even his bright little eyes re semble dark spots on the tree trunk. And how very well and honorably he wears his "cloak of invisibility;" how conven ient would such an arrange ment be for a human who, placed in an embarrassing po sition or predicament, wants to "fall right through the floor." "Now you see him, now you don't," is easy for the fence swift; he can actu ally disappear right before your eyes. Popularity of Yard Fences Returns Getting out in the wide open spaces is sure-fire sum mer fun-but not if you're about 5 and the "open spaces" are streets or drives. Safety, plus privacy and ex citing new decorating possi bilities for your yard, pool, patio or garden are impor tant factors that have sparked the return to popularity of fences in recent years. Ranging all the way from tiny edges to protect delicate plants and shrubs up to com plete enclosures that keep out everything but the sun, today's steel fences are long lived, easy to maintain and available in styles to suit and taste. Of recent development are rail and picket fences of gal vanized steel which come in a choice of baked enamel col ors. Don't overlook the wide va riety of galvanized steel chain link models that are right for any well-dressed yard. Two Sentenced To Jail Terms in District Court Two men have been sen tenced to 15 days in the coun ty jail for petty larceny. David Hezekial Manning, 39, Crater hotel, 30 South Central ave., pleaded guilty in district court Tuesday to charges of taking food from a Medford market. Edwin Leroy Goldberg, 62, Camp White, was found guilty of petty larceny and charges of taking a bottle of wine from a Medford market April 13.
