Pantry Shelf Dinners
that are excitingly good to eat
By Dorothy Grieg
My pantry shelf often brings to mind Aunt Ellen, who was El country minister's wife. When church women rumbled into town with their eggs and butter they expected, as a matter of course, to lunch with the minister's wife. It behooved Aunt Ellen to think fast and always be prepared.
One of her little stunts was to make dozens of pie shells early in the fall and park them away in the cold room of the cellar to be filled and baked as needed.
To-day one of the tricks of a well planned emergency shelf is not necessarily. quantity but variety, planned in terms of put- ting, together a complete meal. For instance, you can always get
• meal in a hurry if your pantry shelf holds several cans of meats; vegetables, fish, fruits, evaporat- ed milk, a package or two of ready prepared biscuit, pastry and cake mixes, a bottle or so of pickles. And above all, condensed - soups--for condensed soups have double and triple uses. They can be served as soups. They make quick casseroles. And they're grand for sauces.
The appetising dinners cutlined here are evolved almost. com- pletely from canned and packaged foods:
