  632. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

  633. Making the tea for ice tea in the morning, and letting it cool for dinner or lunch saves ice.

  634. Soda should be mixed with the dry flour, never stirred into liquid as much of the rising quality is lost in the wetting.

  635. Soda or B. P. mixtures should never be allowed to stand in a warm place, but should be put in oven at once.

  636. Sometimes cake falling may be avoided by putting a piece of paper over the top of the cake at first.

  637. Fruit cake recipes call for dried currants these are hard and lack flavor, try using an equal measure of chopped prunes. They hold moisture and impart a delicious flavor.

  638. So many left over bits of meats or vegetables may be com- bined with cream sauce and served on stale bread toasted.

  639. Use lemon juice in salads and you have a more delicate salad than useing vinegar.

  640. "The Dinner never should await the guests; but the guests the dinner."

  641. Crisco burns at a lower temperature than butter. Does not absorb odors.

  642. Carron Oil, which is half Linseed oil and half lime water, is a wonderful remedy for burns. Pour on burn at once, saturate gauze with the oil, cover burn, and rap in cotton. Do not place the cotton next the burn, keep well saturated, several days, no scars will result and there are no bad effects.

  643. Rose Jar. Gather leaves put in bread tray and salt, leave for one week tossing and mixing daily, until dry; about 5 to 7 days. Pack away in stone jar for 6 weeks to ripen when it may be put into rose jar. This will be fragrant many years and is lovely placed in a linen closet or dresser drawers.

  644. % ounce violet sachet % ounce of Rose

  645. V-2, ounce of heliotrope 1 T cloves

  646. 1 T Cinnamon 1 T allspice

  647. WASHING FLUID

  648. 1 can of lye 2 ozs. of lump amonia

  649. 2 ozs. of salts tartar 1 lb. of borax in lump 2% gallons water

  650. Use one cup in a boiler of water, with soap cut fine.

  651. TO REMOVE MILDEW

  652. 1 bar laundry soap 5 cents gloss starch

  653. 1 qt. soft water 3 lemons

  654. 1 C salt Kansas sunshine

  655. Cut laundry soap fine, and boil in the water, add salt, starch and lemon juice, dip and wet garment in this thoroughly and ex- pose to sun until the mildew disappears, mixture should be like soft soap.

  656. A SPECIFIC FOR POISON OAK OR IVY

  657. A solution of Chinosol is a specific for poison oak or Ivy. One tablet dissolved in a quart of water. The tablets come 12 in a package. Put it on a piece of cotton and apply.

  658. TO REMOVE SPOTS

  659. Five cents worth Oxalic acid, dissolved in half pint water. Rub on spots over old soft cloth, when dim, rinse spots with fresh water.

  660. TO PACK EGGS

  661. Put 1 quart liquid glass in stone jar with 12 quarts water. Add fresh eggs as you get them. Infertile eggs best.

  662. To spread butter when hard have some boiling water handy and dip the point of the knife into it each time. This will enable you to butter the thinnest bread without spoiling the slice.

  663. If a little salt be sprinkled over dishes on which eggs have been served the dishes will wash easily.

  664. When preparing a chicken try rubbing inside with a piece of lemon, and you will find it very good, as it whitens the flesh and makes it more tender.

  665. To remove old putty from window after the glass has been taken out, pass a hot soldering iron or poker over it. This softens it and it is easily removed.

  666. Pop overs, puffs, omeletes and custards cooked too fast will fall apart.

  667. Salt will remove egg stain from silver when applied dry with a soft cloth.

  668. Squeaking doors should be oiled on the hinges.

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the onion

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (parsley, tomato, bread, butter, lettuce, capers, dill):

  1. Potatobetter flavor fit
  2. Carrotbetter flavor fit
  3. Mustardbetter flavor fit
  4. Onionthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against parsley, tomato, bread, butter, lettuce, capers, dill. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
