Vegetables that can be cooked the
day before serving and reheated with
out loss of flavor are the following;
String beans, tomatoes, asparagus.
spinach and potatoes that you intend
creaming.
All candle ends should be saved;
they are useful for kindling the fire,
for rubbing on the frames of windows
and doors that stick, and they can. be
melted, strained and used for sealing
fruit jars.
