Rapid Rug Repairs

THE worst enemy of a handsome

rug is frayed edges. Trim them! neatly, and then blanket-stitch them ́with some fine carpet twine, using a carpet needle for this purpose. A burnt hole in a carpet s another problem, and the menfolk In the family are often responsible for this! The carpet pile should be matched up with tough twisted wool, and crowel wool is undoubtedly one of the best for this job.

BAKED in BATTER

W

HAT would they say if you forgot the batter "pudding"on" roast beet day? I've heard many folk remark that it's the batter, with rich, brown gravy poured over, that makes this old English dinner so appetising.

As it's a general favourite, why not put It more often on the menu? Bealdes being a welcome change, batter is satisfying and will make a little meat, 118h, or vegetable go a long way.

Any left-overs, such as sausage, kidney, cutlet, three or four prunes or figs can be baked in batter to make a sweet or savoury dish. Chlidren love it plain with a spoon- ful of syrup.

'Ware Lumps

First, a word on beating the batter. Some inexperienced cooks have complained to me that the flour goes lumpy in the mixing. This is because the milk is added too quickly.

The secret is to put your four into the basin, make a well in the middle, break in the egg with a very little milk, and beat carefully, drawing in the flour gradually from the sides.

As the mixture stiffens, add a little more milk slowly, but on no account let the batter become thin and

runny before all the flour has been absorbed then bent in the rest of the milk with an over and over rhythm to let in the air.
