Quiz?
Pest Test
(NAPS)—Are you up on beasts
that bug you? Taking this little
test can help you tell.
A New Solution To Summer Cookout Burnout
(NAPS)—Summer picnics,
church gatherings, family affairs
and neighborhood cookouts all start
to take a toll on the summer cook-
ing creativity. How many times do
we find ourselves falling back on
the good old pasta salad just
. because we can’t come up with any-
thing else at the last minute?
Well, here’s a new idea for you.
How about bringing the cookout-
inspired favorite: corn on the cob?
Remember the smell of sweet corn
on the cob roasting over the grill at
the fair or festival? With these
fresh new ideas, it will be your dish
that’s left empty when it’s time to
go home.
Plus, with Birds Eye Frozen
Corn on the Cob, you don’t have to
wait until the fall harvest. And you
don’t have to bother with husldng
cobs, either. Frozen cob com comes
in packages of 3, 4, 6 and 8 ears (or
a 12 pack of little ears), so you can
easily prepare just the right
amount for the party.
How do Turkey Sausage Veggie
Kabobs sound? With turkey
sausage, red and green peppers,
onions and cob corn pieces, you’ll
have a great summer dish that’s
something new. Marinate it with a
bit of Italian dressing and you’re
1 ready to go! You can prepare them
either on the grill or broil in the
oven if that’s easier. The brightly
; colored kabobs beat pasta salad
any day, and they’re just as easy.
Plus, with Birds Eye frozen cob
. corn, you can make them year
* round.
Here’s another idea for livening
up the summer cookout table: bring
easy-to-eat com on the cob appetiz-
ers. After boiling or grilling the reg-
ular ears, just cut them into two-
inch ghe'es. Place a toothpfck in
each cob for easy-to-grab finger
food. Serve them smothered in gar-
lic butter, lemon butter, parsley
butter or any of your other favorite
butter flavors for a sure winner.
So forget the headache of try-
ing to come up with another new
dish to bring this weekend. Birds
Eye frozen corn on the cob makes
it easy to solve the summer cook-
out burnout. For more ideas for
the summer and all year round,
