Place them in the refrigerator and they will keep three or four days. To prevent gummy noodles, rice, macaroni and spaghetti, add two teaspoons of cooking oil to the water before cooking and your problems will be solved. This makes the noodles glisten and stand apart. Try making a small roast beef and a small roast pork together. The meats pick up the taste from each other and the gravy is out of this world. Nearly everyone makes good gravy, but on the days you have no condiments to use, you are usually stumped. An answer to this problem is to put some flour in a custard cup or a foil pie pan when roasting meat in the oven. The flour browns slowly as the roast cooks. If it is put in the oven at the same time as the roast, it will brown evenly and be ready to make a rich, brown gravy when the meat is done. STUBBORN STAINS: After washing my tennis shoes in the washing machine, I spray them with thin starch. This puts a thin film over the cloth and prevents the soil from clinging to the fabric. The insides are still soft and as comfortable as can be. Rub grass stains with grease (cooking fat or oil) and wash in hot suds. Bleach remaining stain with hydrogen peroxide. Rinse well. -D- TABLE OF CONTENTS Appetizers, Relishes & Pickles ... —.......... 1 Soups, Salads & Sauces ....................... 5 Main Dishes ..... 11 Meats, Poultry & Seafood ..................... 21 Vegetables 29 Breads, Rolls, Pies & Pastries ......... .... 31 Low Calorie .. 47 Cakes, Cookies & Confections ................. 55 Desserts 77 Beverages, Sandwiches & Miscellaneous ....... 83 Published and Printed By Fundcraft Publishing P.O.
