   NYU Bobst Library now get the full CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, so it looks like they now have the entire ProQuest package.  I extended my Columbia library pass for the next two months, only to find out I don't need it.
   I checked for some more regional terms.



      SALEM
       By John Edward Young Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor.       Christian Science Monitor  (1908-Current file).       Boston, Mass.: Oct 25, 1988.                   p. 19 (2 pages)
Pg. 19, col. 3:  ...to Salem Willows.   The Willows is a small, quaint old amusement park, where you may treat yourself to a chop suey sandwich.  That's right, sandwich.  Neophytes ask for a fork to help get it down.  Locals manage without such equipment.

(The only "chop suey sandwich" here.  Notice that it's from Massachusetts, not Rhode Island--ed.)

      It Is the Taste That Tells

   A tablespoonful of the juice from olives, either ripe ones or green ones, added to tuna or salmon recipes will give them that too often missing "something."  Or, if you do not happen to have olives on hand try a teaspoonful of vinegar.  Here is a delicious tuna-noodle dish which is flat and tasteless without that one little spoonful of seasoning and which is delightful with it.
      _Tuna Noodles_
1 package noodles cooked in boiling, salt water.
1 pint white sauce into which has been cut
1 can tuna
1 pimiento
2 hard boiled eggs
1 tablespoon olive juice or 1 teaspoon vinegar.
Put alternate layers of noodles and white sauce mixture in a casserole and bake for 20 minutes in a quick oven.
   be sure your white sauce has plenty of butter in it.  Of course it is melted and cannot be seen but, oh, it is the taste that tells!  Butter does such wonderful things to recipes. (...)
