of ours there is confusion in the cusine culinary dry rot has made its appearance in the cookhouse the signs are everywhere gar bage cans which once sat in solid dignity heavy with tealeaves pot ato peelings egg shells and graps- frultisldns now teeter giddily in slightest breeze their cargo of fmanjfoed wrappers waxed oiatgevyfce containers empty tins and vacant readymix children who once came in from play bright eyed rosy cheeked piping wbats for supper mom now ait before a lighted box in a darkened room shoving unknown untasted food into their slack lit tie mouths brawny labourers home after a hard day on the ob looking forward to a heaping hot plate of viands quail as they are confron ted with yet another triumph of the canning kings the frozen food fanatics there is a close similarity be tween the development of new cars and new stoves as gadget af ter gadget frill after frill is added to the new models their owners become worse and worse drivers as stoves sprout more and more buttons louder and louder bells and buzzers women grow less and ess able to cook a decent meal as a matter of fact the very word cook is growing into dis repute women no longer admit shyly that they are a pretty good cook they brag instead that thye can turn out or whip up a pretty good meal the very phrases tell a lot about modern cooking the women turn out the contents of a box whip up the muck in it and think theyve bak ed a cake even at that it s an ordeal only time we see a cake around our house is when some organization is having a bake sale and the old girl gets hooked for making one by the lime she gets through ma king one lousy cake we re lucky if we get a can of soup or some frozen fish and chips for dinner mother is not only exhausted but every dish in the kitchen is dirl dy his science the book described how fruits are preserved and put in jars that a a kind of crazy thing to do with fruit he says why dont they just buy it in cans at the store like we do i remember what my mother baked every saturday eight loav es of bread including a couple to give away three or four dozen buns a couple of pans of cinnamon rolls about four pies and two cakes chocolate and light mum was too busy baking to cook on saturday so we d have to be sat isfied with something light like maybe a big dish of homemade pea soup with homemade bread followed by fresh buns and pres erves it hi nk n t my heart smote me when i real bed that the boy had no knowledge of the onset pleasure of going down to the cellar looking along the serried rows of preserves and picking out a quart of detectable raspberries dellclowm yellow pea ches or pale golden pears to my delight however degen erated as their tastes are the kids retain an instlct for honest food when theyre served the latestn canned italian ravioli or polish cabbage rolls the last word in frozen chop suey or preprepared chile they merely muck it about on their plates but give them an honest homecooked meal however simple something like sausages potatoes and mashed turnips and they gollop it up and want more i shudder to think that cooking in the home is on the way to be coming a lost art but unless the girls stop cooking from the recipes on the outside of those packaged food boxes and start cooking with some integrity and imagination the day is coming and when it arrives im going to sprinkle a little powdered arsenic in with the prepared pie fill and eliminate a hopeless futvrt for mv little brood i don t know what brought all this up but i want it clearly un derstood that the faci that my wife has been deeply involved in a drama group for some weeks during which the ktds and i have subsisted on crackers and soup beans on toast raggedy ends of bologna bought cookies and bits of stale cheese
