Household Hints *
A well-beaten white of egg added to mashed potatoes^ whipping the potato
hard before serving, will add to the looks and taste of the dish.
The whites of eggs will whip more readily if a pinch of salt is added to
them. If the eggs are placed in cold water for a time before being broken, they
will whip easily.
To get the meats of pecan nuts whole, soak the pecans overnight in water.
Next morning crack them on the end. The meats will come out without breaking.
Slices of lemon, skin and all, eaten with sugar or salt, will kill the odor of
onions on the breath.
If you have no ice, and wish custards, gelatines, etc. to ' ' set " in a hurry,
cover the mold with a dish and place it under the hydrant, allowing the cold
water to run over it.
If the cream seems too thin to whip, place the dish containing it in another
dish of cold water, leaving it there until it is well chilled. Then put it into a
pan of hot water. It will whip without difficulty.
An egg well-beaten, added to rhubarb pies, will thicken the rhubarb and
improve the taste.
Try mixing ginger cookies with cold coffee instead of water.
If a cream pie or meringue is set at once into a cold place it is apt to
become watery. Keep it in the kitchen until it is cold.
Cream that is too thin to whip may be made to do so by adding the unbeaten .
white of an egg before beginning to whip it.
If the white porcelain of the sink becomes stained, wet it and sprinkle
chloride of lime into it. Let stand about half and hour and it will become white.
White lead mends china. Keep a pot of it at hand, and as soon as a dish
is broken daub the cracked pieces with the white lead, using a match to put it on.
Press the edges firmly together and put away for two or three weeks to harden.
After a week remove the extra lead sticking to the outside, but do not use the
dish until perfectly hardened.
Before tacking down linoleum, let it lie in place and be walked on for a
few days. This will make it lie perfectly smooth.
If boiled eggs are to be sliced, put them over the fire in cold water and let
them remain fifteen minutes after the water begins to boil. Let them cool in
the same water. If they are cooled by dropping them into cold water they will
not slice smoothly.
To prevent fruit pies from boiling over while baking, add a tablespoonful
cornstarch to the fruit. Sweeten the fruit to taste, add cornstarch and heat
before adding the crust.
To keep mayonnaise from curdling, add a teaspoonful of cold Avater to egg
and beat thoroughly before adding any oil. — Mrs. Geo. S. Watkins.
TO EEMOVE TAR. Put pure lard on spots before laundering. — Mrs. D. F.
