My old church cookbook has a section entitled, “Worth Remembering.” It’s a kick, and it brings to mind other questions unanswered.
- Instead of trying to iron rickrack on the right side of the garment, turn the article. The rickrack can be pressed perfectly. (Haven’t heard that term in years – and do they still make “rickrack, that zig-zaggy decorative trim?”)
- To whiten laces, wash them in sour milk. (Is this shoelaces or undergarments? And do you intentionally let milk sour for this process?)
- You can clean darkened aluminum pans easily by boiling them in two teaspoons of cream of tartar mixed in a quart of water. Ten minutes will do it. (Where do you get a pan large enough to boil a pan?)
There are plenty more where these came from! Stay tuned, and read an old cookbook for fun.
