Kitchen Economics
BY ISABEL BRANDS.
HERE ARE SOME UNUSUAL AND
DELICIOUS CAULIFLOWER
RECIPES

on account Of it's strong flavor
caulihower is not nearly as popular
a vegetable as il deserves TO be.
Properly prepared, it has a delicate
nut-lilxe flavor that is highly appre-
ciated by epicures. and it is a de-
cidedly nutritious vegetable.
To prepare, remove all OF the
green leaves and the greater part OF
the stalk. Put the head down in a
pan of cold water which contains to
each quart OF water one teaspOonfu,
Of salt and one teaspoonful of vine
gar. Let it soak in this water for
one hour or more. This is to draw
out any insects thst may be con-
cealed in the vegetable.
When ready TO cook put in a large
saucepan. stem down. and cover
with boiling water. Add one table
spoonful of salt, and cook with the
cover Of the saucepan partly off,
boilin gently all the time.
4 large compact head will require
a full one-half hour. small heads
from 90 TO % minutes. II the flow
ers are loose the heat penertates TO
all parts quickly. When compact a
little extra time should be allowed
for the cooking, but the time must
never exceed the one-half hour. The
cauihower begins to deteriorate the
moment it's overlooked. Overlook
ing will be noticed by the strong
flavor and dark color. IL this vege-
table is TO be kept warm any time

Brokercurb had a party of clients
at luncheon in a cafe down in the

At such affairs Brohercurb was
nothing less than masterful. He could
prod head waiter or an assistant

invariably begot him a choice table.
The party was seated and Broker
curb began ordering. He ordered
rapidly, too rapidly for the waiter.
Pardon" interrupted Garcon.
Il said filet of beef for four

curb, irritated at the interruption.
Then he added one of his best lines:
"Rotten service~
Sorry, sir" apologized the waiter.
"You ought to be-" snarled
Brokercurb. He looked up defiant
ly at the waiter. 1t was the tall,
blond horizontal bar expert.
Brokercurb's clients said after
ward that never at luncheon had
they seen him so thoughtful. They
also agreed that the size of the tip
was out Of all proportion to the
service.
