PAGIL 8, WEDNESDAY,JULY 24, 1985,WIIITBY F' By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Cal 655-3679 wlth items for thîs columfl I'm a reasonably good cook. What I mean is that the meals 1 prepare are nourishing and I havent poisoned anyone yet that 1 know of. Actually, 1 do a lot of what 1 caîl "creative cooking"; what my family catis it depends on how hungry they are. I may elaborate on this theme at a later date but for now, I wanted to bring Up the area of cooking in which 1 arn a miserable failure and that is bar- becueing. This is the season of the year when most of us Q.UALITY RODeswUCTS rREE PRESS head out to the patio to do our cooking with the mistaken idea that it's cooler. We really just trade slaving over a hot stove to slaving over hot coals which is what Mr. Edison's invention was supposed to save us from. However, I'm no different from anyone else, except in one respect - the finished produet. Once upon a time, we had a charcoal barbecue and 1 neyer did master the technique of keeping the damn stuff lit. Consequently my family had to learn to like their meat rare or at least eat it that way if they didn't want to starve. Then we got a gas bar- becue and 1 thought my problemn was solved. It stays lit alright but unfortunately so does the food. Everywhere you look these days there are recipes for barbecueing and I've noticed a curious thing, many of these recipes caîl for liquid smoke. I've neyer been able to figure out why - 1 always manage to have plenty of the real thing. In fact, the neighbours can always tell when I'm barbecueing, not by the tantalizing aroma but by the presence of the fire engine in the driveway. My husband once pointed out that "charcoal broiling" refers to the method of cooking, not the state of the finished product. But last Sunday, 1 finally got it right. The chicken pieces turned out brown and crusty outside with just the right amount of sauce basted on while the in- sides were moist and tender without a trace of pink. My secret? Just as the flames were singing by eyebrows, 1 ran out of gas. BAKE SALE The Brooklin United Church Women are holding a bake sale on Friday in Grass Park fromn 2 to 5 p.m. So, if you're heading up to the cottage or looking for something special to serve family and friends over the weekend, get down there early.

For years the ladies of the church have been well-known locally for the hundreds of pies they bake and seIl not only to the residents but on the highway to the holiday traffic as well. Now they have put the town on the map. It is not too early to remind those who saw the Myrtle Square dancers perform at the Brooklin Spring Fair that a new beginner group will start the middle of September in the church. Square dancing is tops as an active pastime, especially for couples. Singles are also welcome, of course. No one needs to feel uneasy about attempting this fun activity as Bill Robinson starts right at the basics and if you can walk, you can learn to square dance. Keep it in mmnd and plan to register next month. The community is sorry to hear that Anne Budd is in hospital in Toronto and has had complicated surgery. The prayers and best wishes of everyone go to both Anne and Art and they look forward to seeing Anne back in fine form by September.
