Always an interesting and enjoyable experience. This year was even more so for the Potpourri: Handicraft Guild of Port Perry. The Guild was invited by the Fair Board to take part in the show by setting up a display of their work. - The oppor- tunity is gratefully acknow- - ledged and the Guild was pleased to show the varied' crafts represented' by its members. The joy of making some- thing by one's self has been discovered and rediscovered by generations of Canadians, and the joy is two-fold - the satisfaction and the practi- cality that come from creat- ing something beautiful! The scope is: wide -- from crochet to needlepoint, to - embroidery, knitting, pottery and more. They are all part of a rich heritage' that is ours to enjoy now and for years to come. Those who attended the Food For by The Hillier's To drain spinach. quickly and thoroughly, press be- tween two dinner plates. Marinate scallops with olive oil (just a bit) and thyme before sauteing ol broiling. - : Lots of zucchini in the garden? Shred the big ones for a change and saute in garlic-scented - butter. Toss with chopped fresh tomato at the last minute. Brown rice gets its colour from the natural bran that's left on the grain, It takes longer to cook than white rice, but has more nourishment - and more flavour, What's in a word? : "Quiche" comes from the Alsatian-German word "kuche", which means a kind of cake. (The origin- al quiche was a simple custard of e & cream with bacon or onions; the fancy + combinations are new.) What's in a word? If it's on the menu at ... the Dairy Bar on the Waterfront Port Perry -- 985-8611 it means something deli- cious. Join us soon for dinner.
