csr Brown Baggers And Lunch & Pail Toters Need Variety Lakeland Park & Lakeland Shores Carol Cominsky 385-7246 Now that Winter is well on its way, a number of junior brown-baggers and lunch- pail toters can be expected to claim they've ftad just about all the bologna and peanut butter they can stand. And, the one who has been packing those seemingly endless school lunches, may be as bored with the task as the children's tastebuds are with the results. "It may be time to try including some lunch menu alternatives in those brown bags and try approaching the task of packing lunches from a new angle," notes Nancy Moore, McHenry County Extension adviser. For starters one should take a look at the way lun­ ches have been packed. "It's a good idea to keep all of the equipment used each time-knives, plastic sandwich bags or wrap, brown bags, etc.--in one place so that you can do the task as efficiently as possible," Ms. Moore says. "And, if your lunches in­ clude sandwiches, you may want to try fixing them ahead and freezing them so all you have to do is assemble the lunches each morning." She says an assembly-line procedure can save time, too. "Line up the slices of bread next to one another and spread with soft butter or margarine. Spread the filling or place sliced fillings on alternate slices and then assemble each sandwich. Wrap each ' sandwich separately, without slicing, and label before freezing." Ms. Moore says sandwich ingredients that freeze well include cooked, sliced, diced or ground meat, fish or poultry, hard-boiled egg yolks, baked beans, roquefort or blue cheese, peanut butter and fruit. Some typical sandwich ingredients that do not freeze well are mayonnaise, sliced soft cheese, cheese spreads, cottage cheese, raw vegetables such as salad greens, onion and tomato slices, hard-boiled egg white, liver sausage and liver spreads, luncheon meats, olives, pimiento, pickles, chili sauce and jelly, jams and preserves. She notes, however, that a thin coating of jam or jelly can be spread on top of butter. "The problem with some of these spreads or fillings that aren't recom­ mended for freezing is that they get soggy or soak into the bread and make it soggy If you're careful, you may be able to use a small amount." Ms. Moore notes that sandwich picker-uppers such as sliced tomatoes or onions and pickles can be packed separately and added to sandwiches just before eating. She also recommends trying dif­ ferent kinds of bread-whole wheat, pumpernickel, rye~ for variety. Sandwiches can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before eating, in the freezer section of a refrigerator for up to a week before eating and in a separate home freezer for three to four weeks. /'If you have a freezer, you can make all the sandwiches for the coming month ahead of time and stack all of the same kinds together. Then all you have to do is add fruit or whatever else you're packing in the morning before the kids leave for school," she says. Frozen sandwiches take from 3 to 4 hours to thaw, about the amount of time most children will spend in classes before their lunch hour. In any case, Ms. Moore warns that sand­ wiches should never remain at temperatures above 40 degrees fahrenheit for more than four hours because bacteria can grow quickly in most sandwich fillings as well as in moistened bread. "Use insulated bottles to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold," she says. "When packing items such as soups, stews or chili, pour them boiling hot into a sterile vacuum bottle," Ms. Moore notes that lunch boxes or lunch pails may be more economical to use than brown paper bags because bags should be used only once and then discarded. "Buy bags specifically for packing lunches and don't use those that have already been used once, such as to contain groceries," she recommends. For additional "brown- bag" hints contact the Extension office at 338-3737 or 4747, or stop at the office at 789 McHenry avenue, Woodstock. Milk Fits Many Needs Time was when everyone drank whole milk. But today there are many kinds of milk to fit the taste, physical condition or caloric needs of each family member. Whole milk contains at least 3.25 percent milkfat; lowfat, 1 or 2 percent and skim, less than 0.5 percent. Hie family of milk has a product for every need of a family. Anyone counting calories may select skim or low fat milk. Others who want to maintain or gain weight while participating in active sports may prefer whole milk. Generally, young children and teenagers prefer whole milk. But they often enjoy chocolate milk. It's available in many ways: whole chocolate milk, lowfat chocolate milk made with 1 or 2 percent milkfat and even chocolate skim milk. Adults may prefer either whole or lowfat milk. Many senior citizens eat less food and prefer whole milk for its satiety value while others select lowfat milk. Any family member with digestive problems should try the youngest member in the family of milk. It's called sweet acidophilus. A concentrated culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus is added to cold pasteurized milk. Some scientists believe it helps minimize gastric disturbances by halping maintain the balance of microorganisms in the intestinal tract. This milk is used only as a beverage. So each member of a family can select his or her favorite dairy beverage from the family of milk Hold Recruitment For Junior Achievement Volunteers and Junior Achievement of Chicago staff will recruit high school students in McHenry county schools this month.

Dog Catcher Patrols Area This is a word of warning to dog owners to be sure to keep their" pets confined to their property. Animal Control is keeping a very close watch looking for dogs that are running loose through the subdivision. If your dog is picked up and brought to Woodstock you will have to pay a steep fine to retrieve 'Rover'. A neigh­ bor learned how expensive it can be last week when her dog sneaked out and ended up spending the night in the pound. So to save yourself an added expense, be sure the family pet is home where he belongs. CONSERVATION CLUB MEETS The next meeting of the McCullom Lake con­ servation club will be tonight Jan. 21. It takes place this month at the McCullom Lake Beach House beginning at 8 p.m. One topic to be discussed will be how to make next year's fishing derby bigger and better.
