All this should tie the kitchen up for at least a month. After that, you can always complain the smell of paint makes you too sick to cook. If your dishwasher leaks all over the kitchen floor, the floor comes up and you trip over it, you've really struck pay dirt. Falling on your hands can put you out of commission for at least a week. If all else fails, put a sur- prise in your refrigerator — baking soda to kill food odors. The secret is to omit the food. You may have to resort to saying, "I deserve a break today. Take me out to McDonald's or the London Chop House." Rambling right along, let's talk about restaurants. They're not perfect but for the most part are desirable alternatives to cooking or thinking of 1,000 excuses to avoid it. Meriwether's recently came to Telegraph north of 10 Mile in Southfield bring- ing with it a little bit of England, a cocktail lounge and six dining rooms. The rooms are elegantly deco- rated with turn-of-the- century antiques and the dining spot's special logo is a black derby with a daisy in its red hatband. You can frequent the most attractive restau- rant with a highly-touted bill-of-fare and order the wrong thing. That's what happened to us at Meriwether's. We thumbed through the menu of specialties, sandwiches, seasoned burgers, "Mexican Momentos," quiche and crepes and settled for a three-egg cheese omelette which was done to a burn. Not caring for charred eggs, we sent it back and it was replaced with an omelette blacker on the bot- tom than the original. It probably was the original — an ever more well-done ver- sion. The manager apologized profusely and explained that the chef, who was obvi- ously not big on preparing omelettes but wouldn't admit it, was being pink- slipped. The manager gave us a complimentary ticket for a dinner for two and we're sure to be back for a second try. Next time, we'll order the highly-recommended San Francisco Stir Fry, billed as a favorite from the city by the bay — a tempting mix of chicken and fresh vegeta- bles simmered in the wok for a distinctive Oriental flavor. That's one of Meriwether's specialties for $4.80. Prices are moderate in this uniquely-decorated restaurant where waiters and waitresses are appro- priately clad in Edwardian-style costumes and bartenders wear sport vests and derbies. For something differ- ent in imaginative cuisine, try the Ala Cart Cafe in Applegate Square on Northwestern at 12% Mile in Southfield. If you're diet-conscious but tired of the usual slim specials, this busy, de- lightful restaurant tempts you with a fresh fruit salad and cottage cheese in a parfait glass. You'd never imagine any- thing which looks so good could be non- fattening. The parfait is chock full of blueberries, melon, pineap- ple, strawberries and other colorful fresh fruits whip- ped with cottage cheese. We recommend salade nicoise at Ala Cart. It's chicken salad with al- monds, white asparagus, hard boiled eggs, black olives and a delicious dres- sing. You can't go wrong with the well endowed- salad bar or crabmeat and artichoke omelette. It seems a bit out of context that this dining spot, which caters to women shoppers at lun- chtime, serves liquor. When we were there, we noticed (Continued on Page 30) celebrate your birthday at The governing board of the Bnai Brith Hillel Foun- dation at the University of Michigan announces the appointment of Michael Brooks as the new director, beginning Aug. 1. Brooks was graduated from Brandeis University and earned his MA degree in Jewish education at Har- vard University. He contin- ued his graduate studies at the Hebrew University and at Merkaz HaRav Kook in Jerusalem. He is a doctoral candidate in ancient history at the University of Michigan, where he is a lecturer on the history of Judaism in the university's program on studies in religion. Brooks has served as principal of the Cong. Shaarey Zedek high school department since 1972. For the past seven years he has also been Jewish chaplain at the Federal Correctional In- stitution in Milan. He was a founding member of the Havurat Shalom Com- munity Seminary in Bos- ton, where he studied for three years. Rabbi Michael Balinsky will continue to serve as associate director of the Hillel Foundation at the University of Michigan. God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
