stains and many fruit stains, and thus
prevent it from spreading over the fabric.

the addition of little sperm. or lit
tie salt, or both, or little gum arabic

pairing milk porridge, gravies, etc., the
salt should not be added until the dish
is prepared.

catches all the dirt grease and odors of
cooking. Stain or paint the floor, then
spread down pieces of carpet in front of
the lounge, table or wherever necessary.
