Show House plants grow toward the sun. Turn them frequently so that they will not grow one-sided. Save the juice from canned pineapple pine-apple and the liquid from maraschino mara-schino cherries to use when making mak-ing fruit punch. If there is a constant smell of burning when cooking is going on, examine gas burners. They are probably filled with sediment from "boilovers." Much of the difficulty in growing house plants comes from keeping them too warm. Try putting your plants in a cool corner of the room and watch them perk up. Always wash sieves in soda water, wa-ter, never in soapy water, as particles par-ticles of soap may adhere and give a soapy taste to food put through the sieve. Continual opening of the gas or electric oven door changes the temperature and is said to be one of the most common causes of baking disappointments. |
