Storage of Food in the Home

One reason the housewife of today hesitates to purchase her food products in large quantities is because she does not know the proper ways to store them so that they will be as palatable and nutritive when she is ready to use them as they were when she purchased them. It is a very important factor in homemaking to be able to buy economically, but it is even more important to know how to store the food in the way it should be stored

White Meat, and Dark

Planning ahead is efficient, knowing what and how to buy is prudent, but knowing how to prepare what is bought is quite the most necessary of all

That Foreign Flavor

Favorite foods of nations vary greatly. Ham and eggs and apple pie seem to be the national standbys of the United States. Italy, no doubt, would choose Delizia; Hungary, Toltott Kaposzta, and curried shrimp would certain prove the West Indian\u27a choice

Sauce for the Goose

What\u27s sauce for the goose, says the old line, is sauce for the gander, and yet show me the man who will have anything but orange salad or sauce with his duck, or chestnut dressing with his turkey

Manners and the Home

In this age of commerce, of machines and engines, and of efficiency that too often robs us of all personal touches, we still have need of the restful influence of good breeding and courtesy
