August Household Hints from Mrs Ethel Hunter

Mrs Ethel M. Hunter, home economist, offers practical August tips. Avocado pear rings garnish broiled ham slices to please the eye. Leftover vegetables shine in a lime Gelatine salad served on lettuce with lemon garnish. Garlic flavored pork chops after cooking adds a distinct note to meat and gravy. A ring mould meat loaf with a parsley potato ball center looks attractive. Beef steak spread with Roquefort cheese during broiling provides a novel twist. Timbales with minted green peas are visually appealing and tasty, especially with lamb dishes.
