Gent ly heat until coated. Among the many lovely traditions of ScafteUot^ia is the serving of a bowl of creamy rice pudding hiding one almond in its center. According to legend, the person who gets the almond will marry before the year is out. You might put some romance on your menu with this delicious and economical recipe. SWEDISH RICE PORRIDGE 1 cti]f umroekedrice 1 cup water 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 4 cups milk 1 (2-inch) stick cinnamon 1 cup light cream 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 blanched almond Combine rice, water, salt, and butter in saucepan. Heat to boiling, cover and cook 10 minutes. Stir in milk and cinnamon stick. Cover and cook over low heat about 45 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove cinnamon stick. Add cream, sugar, vanilla, and"" almond. Pour into hot serving dish. Serve with erxtra milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Makes 6 servings. Holiday foods can take a big bite out of the food budget. After celebrating, one should plan some, low- cost meals to help save money on food. Meat often is the most costly food in a meal. By using low-cost meats one can cut food prices. The price per pound for meat does not really tell if a meat is low-cost. Not all meats give the same number of servings per pound. Some meats like fish and lean hamburger have almost no waste. Other meats, like spareribs, may be mostly bone and fat. One serving is ' about three ounces of lean meat. The cost per serving is an important factor in determining if a meat is low- cost. The cost per serving is the price per pound divided by the number of servings in one pound. According to the average cost per serving for meats during October of 1981, ground meats, liver, chicken and turkey were the lowest priced meats. Grocery store specials on these meats can make them even better buys. Other low cost meats in clude beef chuck roasts and ~ steaks, some types of fish, hot dogs, and some types of pork and ham. Family members often eat more than a three-ounce serving if a large piece of plain meat is served. * A good-tasting roast may disappear in one sitting. Smaller pieces may be eaten if the meat is used in a casserole or stew or the meat may be cut into three- ounce servings before it is put on the table. These money-saving tips will help when shopping for nutritional low-cost meals: Use meat instead of soup bones or stew meat. Soup bones usually have little meat on them, and bony "stew meat" often is more costly per pound than sale- priced beef roasts. Look for ground meats that are fairly lean. The pinker the meat looks, the leaner it is. The more white one can see, the more fat it has. * Pepper was treasured by early Roman gourmands. These epicures were known to pay up to $125 for the condi ment to spice up their meals. Why not begin 1982 with a .good, sound nutritional habit of drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation. There have been numerous claims that some alcoholic beverages can aid in digestion or lessen the risk of heart disaas^, 3ut until there is more &ientific, clinical evidence to prove these claims, we would be better off relying on the proVen facts. Alcohol depresses the central nervous system,' heightens fatigue, increases loss of the body fluids which may lead to dehydration and tends to be high in calories and low in other nutrients. Excessive amounts for a period of time by pregnant women have even caused mental and physical birth defects, or a condition often called "fetal alcohol syn drome". „ Although one or two drinks probably would not hurt any of us Who are in good health, it is not a good nutritional habit to fall into. If we are trying to watch our weight or take off a few pounds, even one or two social drinks may give us many more calories than we can *afford. For that reason, many decide they would rather drink than eat, especially at parties. But this practice creates another problem. Alcohol has replaced the foods we need which contain the essential nutrients that are so important to the functioning of our body. It rriay also alto- the storage 1 any , have ay and utilization of nutrients we may eaten. If you must drink an alcoholic beverage, do so in moderation. But why not try some fruit or vegetable juices, instead, or at least mix a limited amount of alcohol with one of these more nutritious liquids.
