Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dinner Year-Book "Do not laugh when I tell you that one of the most serious perplexities of my every-day life is the daily recurring question, ´What shall we have for dinner?"´ writes a correspondent. I do not smile at the naive confession. I feel more like sighing as I recollect the years during the summers and winters of which the same query advanced with me into the dignity of a problem. There were several important ends to be compassed in the successful settlement of the question. To accomplish an agreeable variety in the family bill of fare; to accommodate appetites and individual preferences to the season and state of the local market; to avoid incongruous associations of meats, vegetables, sauces, entrées and desserts; to build fragments into a structure about which should linger no flavor of staleness or sameness; so to manage a long succession of meals that yesterday´s repast and the more frugal one of to-day should not suggest the alternation of fat and lean in the Hibernian´s pork, or the dutiful following of penance upon indulgence; to shun, with equal care, the rock of parsimony and the whirlpool of extravagance; - but why extend the list of dilemmas? Are they not written in the mental chronicles of every housewife whose conscience - be her purse shallow or deep - will not excuse her from a continual struggle with the left-overs?
