MOTHER'S COOK BOOK
DURING the warm weather is the time to let down on all unnecessary work so that mother may have a little vacation as well. Informal serving—letting the youngsters do the work—it will be a change from school work, and it is a good thing to train them to do all kinds of household tasks. The girls, of course, are expected to have this training before they go into their own homes, or, how will they know how to deal with household matters, and spend the money given to them for the upkeep of the home? Boys, too, should begin early to learn how to cook simple foods, be able to make a good cup of coffee, prepare a crisp piece of toast, and serve a well-cooked egg. These accomplishments are not only helpful but often necessary in cases of illness or absence of the housewife.
It is not always easy or agreeable for a good housekeeper to turn over the work to her children, but it is most gratifying in results. Now is the time to serve the meals on the porch or in the garden; the young folks will enjoy taking the extra steps and the novelty will serve to delight the whole family. Serve the breakfast buffet style as the English do. Everybody has a few covered dishes to keep things hot, and with hot coffee and toast, one may make a fine breakfast.
Scrambled eggs, sliced bacon, sausages—even hot griddle cakes or waffles may be made on the porch. A perfect picnic is one where everybody does his share of the work and mother has the rest from work.
