TOMATOES PIE.--Tomatoes make excellent pies. Skins taken off with
scalding water, stewed twenty minutes or more, salted, prepared the
same as rich squash pies, only an egg or two more.
*It is a great improvement to the flavor of PUMPKIN PIES to boil the
milk, stir the sifted pumpkin into it, and let them boil up together
once or twice. The pumpkin swells almost as much as Indian meal, and
of course absorbs more milk than when stirred together cold; but the
taste of the pie is much improved.
Some people cut pumpkin, string it, and dry it like apples. It is a
much better way to boil and sift the pumpkin, then spread it out thin
in tin plates, and dry hard in a warm oven. It will keep good all the
year round, and a little piece boiled up in milk will make a batch of
pies.
*Most people think BRASS KETTLES for washing are not as likely to
collect verdigris, if they are never cleaned in any other way than by
washing in strong soap suds just before they are used.
INK SPOTS.--If soaked in warm milk before the ink has a chance to dry,
the spot may usually be removed. If it has dried in, rub table-salt
upon it, and drop lemon-juice upon the salt.
