month after you'H decide

About the first you're married .jt’s time to throw a dinner party Your aim probably will be to impress your in-laws with what a fine choice your husband

has made in picking a gir! blessed not only with beauty. charm. intelligence and good

taste but also with great gifts as a culinary artist

So you break gut one of those brand new cookbooks and enter a vast and perhaps § strange world of terms The books are great but somet#mes they as- sume you know a little more ahout what the, re talhung qpout than you do , one girl was stopped cold when she had to “coddie’’ an egg True that's one that isnt likely to crop up often in evervone s experience, but no matter’ how long you stand holding that egg keeping it nice and warm, cud- diing won't coddie it. To coddle means to cook in liquid which is kept just below the boiling point To help vou over the hurdles

For example

of deciphering those magic re- cipes. here is a partial list of phrases you'll come across re-

ferring to the cooking of meats —which of course will be the most important feature of your mea!

BAKE to cook in a heated oven, and when this term is ap-

plied to meats. game or fowl this cooking method is called roasting

BASTE to spread liquid —

meat juices or fat over the surface of the cooking food gen- erally a roast

BRAISE to brown the meat in a little hot fat, then to add the hquid. cover and cook unti! ten- der over low heat or in the

oven BREAD to coat the meat or fish with fine crumbs made from erushing crackers or dried bread BROIL — to cook without fat

next to an open flame or over hot coals; this is one method commonly used for cooking var-

and |

ious cheps and steaks

FRY — to cook in hot fat. There are two ways of frying. | The first is to“saute or pan-fry —cooking in a skillet with a smal! amount of fat. The second is deep-frying.—cooking in a deep fry kettle using enough fat or oil so that the food will float.

GRILL — means the same as broil! HEELING is the final bast-

ing df reasts or fowl! and is often done with wine or brandy MARINATE — to allow tRe meat to! stand in a mixture be- fore cooking: the marinade us- ually contains oil, an acid, herbs and other seasoning PAN-BROIL to cook uncov- ered in a hot skillet without fat; and you pour off the fat from the meat as it cooks out PARBOIL — to partially cook food in boiling water before You cook it in another process ROAST — to cook meat in an oven without it being surround- ed by any liquid for moisture.

surface of the meat with a knife or other tool, usually prepara- tory to inserting seasonings

SEAR — to brown the meat surface quickly over high heat in a very hot skillet, oven or broiler

SKEWER — a utensil, usually made of metal or wood, that holds the meat together or in place while it cooks.

STEAM — to cook by suspend- ing the meat in a tightly cover- ed pot over boiling water

Tastesetters advise less fuss for second weddings

| Judging from the many books on wedding etiquette, love may jbe lovelier the” second time jaround, but second weddings aren't In fact, the less jthem the better, | tastesetters.

Still, there must be many of |them, what with today’s statis- tics forecasting that one out of three marriages will. craek up sooner or later ‘either by pre- mafiire death of one of the part- } ners, or-divorce. which is sie times more prevalent today than 40 years ago’. And that most women once bitten aren't twice shy | These same statistics also show that the widow or divorcee has the edge on her bachelor girl friend when it comes to fac- ing the altar again, a fact well known by fashion designers who

about the

fuss advise

inevitably include a ‘daughter: bouquet

of-the- bride’ gown in their col-

lections along with the tradi- tional ‘‘mother-of- the-. bride’ dress

Research of a yard- high stack of ‘‘advice to the bride’’ books yields little help to the second- round bride, however, and none at all to the bridegroom. In one

book devoting 300 pages of rules |

and guideposts covering the tini- est details for everybedy involv- ed in that first walk down the aisle, only two pages are devot-

ed to the etiquette of second weddings . Briefly, the wedding should be

held.in a smal! church or Chap- e! or in the bride's own home. The reception should be the simplest possible ‘a small tea or supper in the bride’s home). And the bri “not wear white, nor does she wear a wed- ding dress or bridal veil. She may wear:a corsage, but no And she shuns both or- blossoms’ and myrtle

| wreaths. One attendent is proper for jthe bride (she can choose her

| daughter for this honor) and one lfor the bridegroom. And the wedding cake, if there is one, should be frosted in pastel and not in white.

| Imvitations should be informal | (unless the bride is very young) and usually only family and inti- mate fried@s, attend the cere- mony, although others may be invited to the reception

The bride is not usuaily given away, though she may be if she is a very young widow. And gifts are not expected, although friends and relatives frequently do send them a second time

The bridegroom is expected to be present, of course, and one assumes he will behave himself —although not one of the etiquet- te books before me bothers to tell him how

With no more than this meag-

er official advice to pass on in an article on Rules for a Second Wedding, we are forced to com-

| ple a list for the bridegroom on

the basis of gaffs we have seen,

some of which have ended in

some pretty jazzy ‘‘happen- ings.”’

1. Memorize your bride's name. In fact, if you're the

least absent-minded or apt to panic under nervous pressure, it’s a good idea to concentrate on calling your new bride ‘‘Dar- ling,’’ at least until you've safe- ly escaped the last toast and are | on the way to your honeymoon. | One flustered husband we know missed a non-cancellable cruise to the Aegean Islands because his bride lingered too long over ehr coiffure while the cab cool- ed otttside the door “Please

hurry, Myrtle.’ he called up- stairs

Upstairs sat his bride — and sat and sat and sat

“Myrtle’s your first wife,” whispered the horrified best

man, a second too late

2. Check the guest list careful- ly. One unlucky bridegroom wir- his old college roommate, invit- ing him to join the wedding par- ty in Las Vagas. where they'd all repaired by plane to cele-

brate the event. His’old buddy came all right — with “his new wife, whejjpst hap; to .be the event wife. Things went along, g@ily civilized, until Mrs. No. 1 and Mrs. No. 2 just happened to sit across the table from each other. They started comparing notes and the birdegroom got the champagne in his face.

3. Write out your new address and HAND it to the taxi driver We know a poor fellow who got

loff the plane with his happy \bride, rounded up the baggage,

and automatically gave an ad- dress *to the cabbie. The two rode for an hour, lost in each other’s eyes, until the driver braked to stop— in front of his ex-wife’s home. _ 4. Don’t panic. Keep your wits about you and remember those same statistics are on your side For despite the occasional Tom- my Manvilles and Henry the Eighths, most second marriag- es are happy ones. You already know that not even Aphrodite looked pretty with curlers in her hair: and your bride knows you are no Adonis, either, until you are shaved
