CATERER'S CORNER

_have good time and so they
‘did.
_ I have been trying to
rescue my ferns this last
couple of weeks. I’m
' probably the only person in
| B.C. who has three Boston
‘ferns in the “bathtub. We
_take turns - one shower for
‘them, one for me. I don’t
know why everyone in the
world but me can raise nice
plants.

Ihad my first experience
‘cooking real shrimp last
"weekend. I bought these
‘shrimp last spring from
Gordon, took them home,
‘looked at them and said
“Good Lord!” They still
‘had the shells, crawlers
‘and like that. Never having
‘seen a real shrimp in my
life I just dumped the little
darlings back in the freezer
‘and left them thre. When
‘the urge for a feed of

to ignore I decided to clean
ungodly-looking

creatures and produce
some sort of shrimp dish.
Actually it wasn’t too
difficult once I got at it, but
they looked so terrible even
after the shells are off I
cooked’ a~couple to make
sure they were edible. They
were absolutely deliciots
so I parboiled a potful in
salty water for 2 or 3
minutes. The next step was
to cook some tomatoes,
onions and green peppers

to the crisp stage, add a
few ounces of white wine,
seasonings, the shrimp and
then I thickened the sauce
with a bit of cornstarch. We
had this with a beef ten-
derloin' (cooked whole
wrapped in bacon) tossed
salad and hot rolls. It made
a lovely meal and I’m
afraid all four of us are
going to develop an ex-
pensive habit.
See you next week.

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
survey commissioned by
the Restaurant and Food
Services Association of
B.C. shows most people are
in favor of more liberal
liquor laws, association
spokesman Don Bellamy
said Wednesday.

The survey was in a
$10,000 study done for the
association by the firm of
Laventhol and Horwath
and aimed at recom-
mending changes and
improvements in B.C.’s
liquor laws. A report on the
study is expected to be
presented to the provincial
government within two
weeks.

The report is being
completed at the same

Craft show
held in T.R.

By Judy Reichert

The first annual Craft
and Gift Show was held on
Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, November 25-27 at

the banquet room, Tumbler

Ridge Inn.

There was a good variety
of shopping including:
toys, games, bikes, sports,
music, woolen goods, Mary
Kay, magic, tapes,
records, household items,
pet care, women’s wear
and dance wear. Friday,
Ladies Night, en-
tertainment was provided
by Jack Mellor, magician..
He made just about
anything from balloons.

Lots of children were in
to visit Santa and have
their picture taken with
him, This kept
photographer, Eric Chan,
busy.

Although not as many
turned out as was hoped,
there were a few rushed
moments.

Special thanks to Sandy,
Brenda, Louise, Bobby and
the Tumbler Ridge Inn for
help and co-operation. Also
thanks to Herbert Doppler

efor edriving, loading ‘and

unloading. SVBO Fl vi

Let’s plan to make next

THE CHRONICLE - MOUNTAINEER, Tumbler Ridge, B.C., Wed., Nov. 30,1983 3

Liberal drinking laws wanted

time as the government is
launching its own study on
possible changes and
improvements to liquor
laws in anticipation of the
world transportation fair
Expo 86.

Consumer Affairs
Minister Jim Hewitt an-
nounced Tuesday that a
consultant will be ap-
pointed to carry out the
study.

Bellamy said Wednesday
he could only talk about the
report in general terms
because it is still in draft
form.

It includes a comparison
of how B.C. liquor laws
stack up with those in other
provinces and the U.S. and
a survey of what British
Columbians think about
current liquor laws and

how they should be
changed.
The survey, which

covered a wide number of
people in various areas of
B.C., showed ‘‘a general
consensus that there should
be liberalization of the
Liquor Act and_ the
regulations pursuant to it,”
Bellamy said.

He said he couldn’t be
specific about any par-
ticular aspect of the law
that people wanted
changed, but noted that the
restaurant association has
known for some time that
many people would like to
be able to drink in a
restaurant without eating.

Bellamy said the com-
parison of B.C. liquor laws
with those elsewhere
revealed that B.C. has
many restrictions that
other jurisdictions don’t.
But B.C. also allows some
things that others don’t —

such as_ allowing
restaurants with liquor
licences to hire employees
who are under the drinking
age.

The report will recom-
mend that restaurants be
allowed to serve liquor
without food, and a change
in the time period that
establishments are allowed
to serve liquor, he said.

Under current laws, he

said, establishments can
only be open for serving
liquor for a 14-hour period,
and the latest that liquor
can be served is 2 a.m.
Bellamy said the 14-hour
rule is acceptable, but the
law should be changed so
establishments can serve
liquor later than 2 a.m. —
for example, during the 14
hours between 2 p.m. and 4
a.m.
