(Recipes tested by the Macfadden Kitchen) %mi)KM It's such a pleasant evening when Aunt Sue drops in for dinner! And at our house relatives drop in quite often. They love to see the children. So I must be careful to keep the budget balanced. I take full advantage of the fact that fish is popular and economical in the month of March and an extra special sauce turns food — even the simplest — into company fare. Try serving a few simple canapes with a soothing hot tea punch just before dinner. It will create a party mood! It's a treat the children can enjoy, and a little luxury for the ' grown-ups. Here are my favorite menu ideas for windy March evenings. SPRING GARDEN CANAPES Cut out rounds of bread with a biscuit cutter about 2" in diameter. Spread each round with mayonnaise. Cut radishes cross-wise in thin slices. Arrange slices around outer edge of bread. Top with a thin slice of cucumber. Garnish with a thin slice of stuffed olive or a sprig of parsley.
