Planned Christmas Gift Basket From Home Economics Guide
A detailed guidance from the Bureau of Home Economics urges planning a balanced Christmas gift basket for needy families. It lists food categories including evaporated milk, cheese, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes, fruit, peanuts, meat, bread, cereal, butter, sugar, coffee or tea, eggs, and soap, with suggested quantities and sample meals. It notes variations by household and provides two recipe outlines for roasted pork with sweet potatoes and apples and beef pot roast with vegetables, plus a note that Dean Breeze Jr. visits from Los Angeles for Christmas.
