Culinary Process That Is Little Known
by American Housekeepers
The blanching of vegetables is pro
cess which American houselxeepers do
not generally understand. There are q
great many vegetables which have a
rank flavor, and this may be removed
by olanching: To blanch is not to par
Doll In water: A delicate vegetable like
green peas or sweet corn does not need
blanching, but a coarse vegetable like
cabbage or onion is very much improved
by the process Cabbage should ALWAYS
be blanched. To do this, pare of the
outer leaves and cut the cabbage into
four equal pieces. Put them in an
abundance of boiling water and let
them cook about ten minutes. Then
drop them into cold water, and when
they are cold complete the cooking:
Spinach also is always blanched by our
best cooks
All boiled greens are better for this
process of blanching. brussels sprouts
and cauliflower should be blanched in
about the same time and manner as
cabbage. Spring beans and lima beans
should be cooked in boiling water sailed
for at least an hour, cooled in cold
water, and then cooked till done. Tur-
nips should be parboiled ten or fifteen
minutes, according to their age, but they
should not be cool.sl in cold water, as this
would give them bitter taste. Drain
them while they are hot and finish the
cooking Onions are very much better
to be cut off at either end, put in boil
ing water. cooked for fifteen minutes,
then cooled and peeled and cooked again
for twenty-five or thirty minutes Longer
till they are done.
There is difference of opinion as to
cooking potatoes. They are never
cooled after they are cooked the first
time, but they are often Improved when
they are old by cooking them in two
waters At this season old potatoes have
a better flavor if they are washed thor

and cooked for forty-ire minutes
Young potatoes should he cooked in
boiling water. Delicate vegetab les
would lose all their flavor If subjected
to the process of blanchiug. The mis-
take our cooks are apt to make us to ap-
ply one general formula Of salted boil
ing water alike to all vegeta b les, nvheti,-
err delicate or coarse, cooking them all
in one way till they are tender. There
is no universal rule that will APPLY to

means came from the mass of wrecked
timbers, and it was evident that the
calamity was terrible one. The
debris took fire in several places, and
it required hard work to prevent the
cremation Of the persons who were i'm
prisoped. The fumes were subdued,
| however, and only one person suffered
by the fire.

were taken out dead, and Berry Sher-
cd, one of the most prominent resi-
dents of Washing on county, was so
badly injured that he has since died.
