THIS AND THAT

Bread dries if exposed to the air in hot weather. It should be wrapped in damp cloth and kept in a dark place. A fork should never be stuck into a steak or chop that is being fried or grilled, as it lets the juice out. There is nothing better than 'onions for removing rust from steel. Rub the rusty part with an onion and leave the juice' on for twenty-four hours, then polish tho steel with bathbrick and turpentine. Yolks of eggs left after the whites have been used will keep for several days if covered with cold water. _ The flavour of the mint sauce is improved if a little boiling water is poured over tho mint and sugar before the vinegar is added. In this way the full essence of the mint is drawn out. Ham retains its full flavour if, instead of being boiled, it is covered with a dough made of flour and water and baked in the oven. Bake smaller pieces of ham in a casserole with a little water.
