MEATS

Next to your husband, your meat man should be your best friend. Cultivate him. Shop in slack hours, if possible. Ask him to show you cuts of meat. Learn what, where, why. Buy with his help and let him know you are following his advice.

TO REMOVE SCORCH

A scorch is different from a stain, in that something is actually taken from the goods. The effort is to remove the external signs of the damage, which may be great or little.

BOILED SHRIMPS

Plunge live shrimps into boiling salted water. Shell shrimps, and remove dark membrane, which is the intestinal tract circling the middle of each shrimp just below the surface of the outer flesh and sometimes concealed by a thin, transparent layer of flesh, which peels off with it. To remove this easily, insert the sharp point of a knife under the surface of the transparent layer and strip the two out together with a circling motion.

There are so many fascinating things to do in this world; it seems a shame to spend any more time than necessary on the routine business of living.
