Show SL AROUND p THE HOUSE A rubber soap-dish makes a non-skid bird bath for the canary. Baked custards and vanilla junket jun-ket are tasty with a sprinkling of grated nutmeg. Rice should always be washed before cooking. Use cold water and change it two or three times until the water is clear. Store seeds in a cool place if they reach you too early. They kep better than in a warm room. e Try baking apples in a double roaster with one cup of water for a half dozen peeled apples. They are much more juicy than when baked in a pan without a cover. Never press a quilt while it is damp. It is apt to become stiff if you do. Wash quilts in mild soap suds and water. Rinse them thoroughly and hang them, dripping, drip-ping, in the shade to dry. Then press them on the wrong side with a warm, not hot, iron. |
