These

two

particular

sauces

were

invented

SAUCES

especially

for

bachelors,

and

they're

quite

new.

For

chile

sauce,

one

must

mash

to

a

paste

a

clove

of

garlic,

finely

minced,

and

two

red

peppers

which

have

been

softened

in

boiling

water

and

rubbed

through

a

sieve.

Add

a

bit

of

the

water,

salt,

and

one

table-

spoonful

of

vinegar.

In

the

blazer

have

sizzling

hot

a

cupful

of

olive

oil

and

stir

the

pepper

pulp

into

this.

Whatever

fish

you

elect

to

have,

cut

in

fillets

and

cook,

closely

covered,

in this

sauce.

For

the

other,

which

we

will

call

after

Pittsburg

Phil,

take

a

cupful

each

of

tomatoes,

onions,

and

green

peppers

from

which

the

seeds

have

been

removed.

Scald

and

skin

the

toma-

toes,

and

skin

the

peppers

by

blistering

on

a

hot

stove.

Chop

all

together,

adding

salt

and

enough

olive

oil

to

moisten.

This

is

not

to

be

despised

as

an

accompani-

ment

to

cold

beef,

although

it is

perhaps

at

its

best

with

fish.

Try

it

on

Barracuda,

Spanish

mackerel,

Ouananiche,

or

even

the

plebeian

cod,

and

report the

result

in

your

Sunday

newspaper's

Woman's

Page.

in

of

to

taste,

and

a

When
