THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 Rt Cl Cle lf Rt tl A fl Women's es a T * * 'The Women's Corner * For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper Ld * A UI BAKING HINTS Regardless of how many times you make some things they are al- ways wrong, You may get a recipe of a cake that was particularly good. when someone else made it and then when you make it your- self it is a dismal failure, There are certain dishes which are stumbling stones for many house- wives and today we are going to try to clear up the mistakes of many, To many of the older house- wives these will be ancient history but the younger ones should be given .a helping hand, Just as the faults of children should be cor- rected when they are young so the cooking faults of the bride should be corrected when they are just beginning. Potatoes of all the vegetables, are served the most often in Cana- dian homes and it is for this reas- on that we discuss the faults in the cooking of potatoes first, Too often they are served soggy in- stead of mealy, The mealiness of a baked potato depends first upon the potato itself, That is, the more starch the potato contains the bet- ter it is for baking. As new potas» toes contain less starch than those gathered later in the season, do not try to bake them, Because potatoes are so starchy they need intense heat to bake them, The oven should be reguiuted at about 400 degrees F. This intense heat turns the water in potatoes LO steam, and unless some of this steam is allowed to escape before serving the potato is apt to be soggy. Therefore when the pota- toes are about done, pinch them " so as to crack the skins slightly or prick them with a fork, then leave them in the oven a few minutes Jonger to dry out. Boiled potatoes work on the same principle--when done the steam should be allowed to escape. That is why, after draining off the water the saucepan containing the potatoes should not he tightly cov- ered, Leave the lid ajar' and keep in a warm place, or shake gently over the fore until the potas toes appear white and mealy, New potatoes are always more popular .

There are so many places where a cream sauce may be used to advantage and of the result is not of the best an entire course may be ruined, To make a perfect white sauce requires a little time and careful aitention, Two important things to flour must be thoroughly cooked because, like potatoes, it is mostly starch and extreme heat is necessary to cook starch so that it will not taste starchy, The second thing to remember is that the sauce must be stirred constantly while cooking in order to have it smooth and velvety, Did you ever eat.a meal that is perfect, ,the potatoes are cooked to a "T"" and the meat is just brown enuogh and is the particular kind you like most--and then the brown enough and is the particular fond of a lot of gravy so you do not stint yourself and then the en- tire meal is ruined, The gravy is greasy, lumpy and thin as water. If you have then you might send these suggestions to your hos.ess. Gravy must be made as carefully as the cream sauce, Thick, pastry gravies are usually the result of "dumping" flour into an uncertain amount of pan-fat, and pouring boi.ing water from the kettle un.il it looks about right. It may ap- pear pbout right while cooking, but by the time it. reaches the tabie and has cooled sligh.ly the excess flour cools to a pasty con- sistency, Measure the fat left in your roasting pan, instead of guessing at it, otherwise you are apt to have too much and thus gei a gravy where the grease will rise to the top. After you have meas- ured the fat accurately a few times you will be able to judge the amount, The correc. method is: To 4 tablespoons of pan fat, add 4 tablespoons of flour and stir with a long handled spoon until the flour is brown, but not burned. Too hot a fire will scorch the flour and spoil your gravy 2 cups boiling water are then added gradually, stirring constan.ly, Bring to a boiling point and boil two or three minutes, Strain and serve, LOVES Young love is passion Old love is peace; Such is love's fashion Never to cease Young love's a carol; Old love's a psalm; Child love is wild love; Old love is calm; Young love is rapture; Old love ig rest; Shy wings for capture; Deep heart for nest; Dawn love is silver.
