RUBBER DISH DRAINER.
Thanks to Mrs. w. E. r.,
Hyattsuille.)
For the party who wrote in some
time ago about rubber covered
dish drainer: I, too, have had the
same experience. After being in
use for some time, the rubber
cracked and became a sticky mass,
adhering to my dishes. I placed my
drainer on a circle of wire wickets
in my back yard in which I burn
my wastepaper. I did not let it
get down into the ashes. After the
rubber was all burned off, I washed
1t in hot soap suds, dried it we'll,
then secured it with a metal sponge
Now it is again fit for use. Inas-
much as metal sponges cannot now
be purchased, I think sandpaper
would do the job equally as we'll.
Editors note-We Mould like
to thank Mrs. w. E. r. for sub
nitting her recipe for pearl
crnmb pie and are sorry ,De can-
not print it at this time.)
SALAD DRESSING.
REQUESTED by Redder.)
Could some of your contributors
kindly tell me what goes wrong when
oil will not beat into the egg yolk
for salad dressing? 1t must have
been done or the instructions would
not have been given out. I tried
every way, however, wasting six egg
yolks las far as achieving salad
dressing) I tried one yolk at
time, adding a few drops of oil be-
fore I beat, beating slowly and add
ing few more drops. but soon it
was just like an egg beaten regu-
iarly, thin, and no amount of added
oil thickened it. Then I varied my
methods until I cannot think of any
more ways to discover the trick. I
wondered If 1t might have been
flaw in the oil I used the soy bean
oil as I do not like the taste OF
olive oil.
