Togtthernesi, with cool, fresh tlr, suaahine, hearty appetites, month-watering food and the early morning quiet can be yours to share in a picnic breakfast. Try eating outside with family or friends some sunny Sunday morning. Even the traditional bacon nod tfpwffl taste different when cooked out-of-doors on a fire. And as long as you're breaking with habit, says Kay Munsen, extension nutritionist at Iowa State University, not serve something new? For a change from the ard glass of orange jutee -take advantage of nutritious fresh fruits. Strawberries and cantaloupe are both high in Vitamin C.

Other fruit possibilities are fresh peaches, raspberries or sliced oranges. For a festive treat, cut off the top third of a watermelon. Scoop out the fruit in balls or chunks. With a knife, flute the rim of the melon. Then refill the shell with the melon balls, sliced bananas, grapes, i cherries, berries, peach and pear wedges, pineapple whatever fresh fruits are on the market.

This colorful bowl a double as a table centerpiece. Or spruce up the usual pancakes by adding apples or berries to the batter or in a topping. Flavored yogurt can be used in place of maple syrup and it's a good substitute for a glass of milk, says Mrs. Munsen. Kids, especially, get a kick out of toasting "bread twisters" over the fire.

Fill them with butter and cinnamon and sugar or jelly. Or for a special treat, stuff with a fried link sausage. To make tke bread twisters cut a green stick one inch in diameter and peel the bark wind the dough In a i a around the stick, pinch the ends back into the roll to secure them and pinch cracks together so the twister will bold a uniform off the stick twist lightly, if necessary, to loosen It back about six Inches on one end. Heat this end over coals to dry the sap, then brush it lightly with melted butter. Using either ready-to-bake refrigerator rolls or your own biscuit mix, knead the dough with your fingers until it shapes easily.

Roll it between your hands to form a long cylinder, shape. If you plan to fill your twister, shape the dough over one end of the stick to seal it. Cook it slowly over the coals, turning frequently so the dough will brown evenly and a thoroughly. When done, slip it door treat a form of nut made easily over the fire. Heat some vegetable oil, then plop balls of biscuit dough Into the oil.

After cooking, roll them in white, brown or powdered sugar. Sweet rolls, coffee cake or blueberry muffins can be made ahead and kept frozen i your picnic. Then heat them over the fire.

Every morning I watch them go off to carpetland to fresh bread for lunch to a phone that isn't sticky with ape jelly to perfume hind each knee that spells madness to stock boys.

And I say to myself, "There but for the grace of a babysitter go I tried, yon ed sitters once for six months. One could only work until the children a home school. Another believed in naps until age 35. And there was one who worked one day and quit saying, "Do you honestly expect me to stay in a home where the lid is always up in the bathroom?" I guess I'm not the only one with the problem. An R.N.

from Wisconsin wrote that she left the following note with a new sitter. "Greg gets 1 tsp. of i medicine in refrigerator at 8 Use Cheese For Protein Cheese makes a good high protein substitute for more expensive beef, pork or lamb. It may be used in casseroles, in toasted sandwiches or as and before lunch. He has petigo, so wash your hands food with soap and water and don't let him use anyone else's glass.

O.K.? "Paala gets 1 tsp. of orange medicine in brown battle at 8 a.m. and at lunch. There's ty of lunch meat, peanut butter, for lunch. "Paula has to be taken to the potty every hours.

There's a potty seat and a small chair in Bee. "Don't let dog in the chewing pun. He craves it, bat hat to be taken to vet to remove. He gets pill once a day (not birth control) for slight infection. Get Frank (who is in and out all day) to hold him so he will not bite.

"Take messages. Don't use toilet in utility room. It bubbles. If you have questions, call me Tell them you are one of the nurses if they ask." When she arrived home, the door of the house was marked with lamb's blood and there was a large quarantine sign tacked on it. Granted, a stand-la for mother isn't the most thrilling job in the world.

It's inheriting all the crud and the pftbtems that only love can justify. snack with fresh fruit buying cheese remember that grated cheeses and cheese slices cost more than equal amounts of the a cheese sold in wedges or sticks and cheese or cottage cheese in large boxes, jars or cartons cost less per pound than cheese sold in smaller containers. Since cheese keeps well in the refrigerator, buying in larger quan titles does save money. But sometimes in the morning as I watch them go by in their cars to the city, I try to im- wrapped agine what it's like having a man lean over your shoulder who isn't cleaning your septic tank or open letters with windows in them without becoming nauseated and I can't resist the impulse to yell out of the window, "I hope you find erasure droppings in your IBM Selectric." I need that. Announce Wedding Plans Marriage Announced Lt.
