Show Some summer food jobs can be done to best advantage under running run-ning water. To prevent tears, peel onions under water. A quick and easy way to wash a head of lettuce let-tuce and separate the leaves nt the same time is to cut out the white core or stem at the base of head and then let the water flow in. The same method may be used to help wash and separate celery stalks. One beaten egg added to 3 tablespoons table-spoons of sugar gives that delicious de-licious creamy effect to cabbage slaw. To the sweetened egg mixture mix-ture add three tablespoons of cream of evaporated milk and three tablespoons of vinegar. Diced green pepper and shredded carrot may be added to this creamy egg slaw. Vegetables which have been peeled lose more minerals and vitamins in cooking than those left whole; large losses occur when vegetables are cut in small pieces. Vegetables should be cut just before being used. When machine sewing on sheer fabrics, such as voile, chiffon, organdie, or-gandie, and tissue gingham, use u fine machine needle, preferably a size 11. When you wah walls, woodwork, wood-work, and other painted surfaces with one of the new detergent cleaners or shampoo upholstery and rugs, try gentle handling instead in-stead of using so much energy rubbing and scrubbing. Dresses and shirts hung on a coat hanger to drip without any wringing will have few wrinkles. An aluminum hanger which will not rust should be used. Shape the wet garments, straightening collar col-lar tips and pulling out wrinkles. When removed from the hanger, the garment will need no ironing. If a little pressing is needed, use only a warm iron and test it first on the inside of a hem. In selecting cereals, keep in mind that, although the ready-to-serve kinds are convenient, the price per serving is much higher than tlie kinds of cereals that require re-quire cooking. Keep in mind that whole-grain and enriched cereals are more nutritious than the refined re-fined grain products. Store your winter knick-knacks away to make your summer cleaning clean-ing job easier. And for less washing wash-ing and ironing, use place mats of cork, plastic, or straw instead of tablecloths. |
