Your lessons about meat will, I hope, be both useful and interest- ing to you. I want to give you a few hints about cooking it, and afterward you will receive directions about buying it. There are light and dark meats. The dark must be cooked rare, so that in carving the juice will follow the knife. As a general rule, the light must be cooked thoroughly. However it is cooked, it must always be prepared In the same way. Except for soup, the juices must be kept inside the meat. There is a gummy substance in meat that can be hardened by great heat, and made to form a crust on the outside, shutting in all the juices. It is something like the white of an egg, when hardened by heat it encloses the yolk.
