Something Special for Supper

Cheese pie rises to the occasion in grand style when served as the main supper or luncheon dish. In spring, serve with tender, new peas seasoned with light cream. Round out your meal with garden lettuce salad—perhaps the oak-leaf variety—if you don’t have the makings for the country special, pale-green and white dandelion leaves! Be sure to cook a little snipped green onion with the peas or dried or fresh chopped parsley for extra seasoning.

Start the meal with glasses of tomate juice; end it with old-fashioned tapioca pudding, vanilla-flavored, made with quick-cooking tapioca or a packaged pudding mix. Spoon pretty, pink rhubarb sauce or sugared strawberries, refrigerated until frosty, over the pudding. And if you have sugar cookies, pass them for a bonus. You’ll be as happy over your menu as when you discover the season’s first violets!
