Better Eating
FROM START TO FINISH,
The Kitchen Almangc
An assortment of cheese can
provide a happy ending to your
company dinner, with a mini-
mum of fuss and flurry. Just re-
member to remove cheese from
the refrigerator early enough to
bring it to room temperature.
Twenty minutes to an hour
should be long enough to bring
out the best
in flavor and
texture of
Cheddar and
blue cheese.
Bring on but-
ter for crisp
crackers, and
a bowl of icy-
chilled fruit.

Rare, medium or well done
beef? The rule is "as you like
it.” For accuracy, use a meat
thermometer for roasts.
Less tender beef cuts - such
as pot roasts, round steak and
beef for stews — arc cooked
"well done” to develop their full
flavor and tenderness.
Use low to moderate temper-
atures and don't overcook.
While we’re on the subject
of beef, fresh ground beef is
at its best when you cook it
within 24 hours
