FROM AN OLD COOKBOOK. IT
is unfortunate that so many other
wise excellent cooks persist in
UNDER-cooking vegetables. They
should bear in mind that peas and
corn. for example. should never
be cooked less than one to two and
a half hours and the water thrown
out at once, as all s0-called
vegetable juices are poisonous,
and all vegetables therefore must
be thoroughly rinSed after cook
ing And what would our home
economics teachers say to that?
Also show this to Father next time
he starts Dragging about the things
Mother used TO make Brother!
