ONE THOUSAND FAVORITE RECIPES
Before sweeping old carpets, sprinkle with pieces of newspaper wrung out of water. After sweeping, wipe over with cloth wrung out of a weak solution of ammonia water, which seems to brighten colors.
Do not heat butter or fat in any glazed agate or porcelain-lined vessel, as it cracks the glazing.
When making pot roasts, stewing meats of any kind or boiling puddings, always use a vessel with a tight-fitting lid.
A heavy iron pan, called a spider, is best for browning flour in fat or butter, as it does not burn so quickly.
Never fill a vessel more than three-quarters full when cooking, as it is apt to boil or fry over, thereby diminishing the food and ruining the stove.
When opening eggs, always have several vessels handy, and open each egg into a separate dish, as one drop of a bad egg will make all the rest unfit for use.
When boiling eggs in winter, to prevent them from cracking, lay them first in warm water for a few minutes before putting them into the boiling water.
Uses of Sale Bread. Never throw stale bread away, as it is best for making stuffings for meats, poultry, game and fish. It is also good when put into the oven, browned and grated. It can be used instead of flour to roll fish in before frying them. Cutlets and liver can be treated likewise. When browned and grated it can be used in making bread tart, almond tart and grated apple tart. When not grated it is good for bread puddings of all kinds, bread pancakes, bread fritters, bread griddle cakes, bread balls, etc., also in soups and various other cookery.
Lemons. To get the better of the bilious system, without blue pills, calomel, etc., take the juice of a lemon in a glass of water, just before retiring. In the morning, about half an hour before breakfast, do the same thing. Eating lemons clear irritates the stomach. Keep this up for several days — or as long as necessary.
