A marketing list of available foods and their prices can be easily arranged and will prove of great value to a house- keeper in her visits to market and in planning her meals. PLANNING MENUS 309 Well-balanced dietaries may be provided with little work by using instinct and good judgment in the selection of food combinations and by avoiding too many foods of the same kind. Breakfast consists of three courses: (1) fruit, (2) cereal and (3) meat courses. Serve each course separately, and remove all dishes pertaining to each course before serving the next. Serve fruit on small plates set on the service plate. Pass finger bowls after the fruit course. Serve the cereal in a tureen, set in front of the host, and place cereal dishes to host's left. The waitress removes the cover for the host; allow no water to drip on the cloth. Remove tureen after cereal is served. The meat course may consist of meat, eggs, potatoes, toast, bread, and cakes, and is served by the host and on warm plates. The hostess pours the coffee at the beginning of the meat course.
