Excerpt from Common Sense in the Household: A Manual of Practical HousewiferyThe base of your soup should always be uncooked meat. To this may be added, if you like, cracked bones of cooked game, or of underdone beef 01 mutton; but for ﬂavor and nourishment, depend upon the juices of the meat which was put in raw. Cut this into smali pieces, and beat the bone until it is fractured at every inch of 1ts length. Put them on in cold water, without salt, and heat very slowly. Do not boil fast at any stage of the operation. Keep the pot covered, and do not add the salt until the meat is thoroughly done, as it has a tendency to harden the fibres, and restrain the ﬂow of he juices. Strain - always through a cullender, after which clear soups should be filtered through a hair-sieve or coarse bobbinet lace. The bag should not be squeezed.It is slovenly to leave rags of meat, husks of vegetables and bits of bone in the tureen. Do not uncover until you are ready to ladle out the soup. Do this neatly and quickly, having your soup-plates heated beforehand.Most soups are better the second day than the first, unless they are warmed over too quickly or left too long upon the are after they are hot. In the one case they are apt to scorch in the other they become insipid.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Marion Harland's Autobiography: The Story of a Long Life (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Marion Harland's Autobiography: The Story of a Long LifeI hold and believe for certain that if I could draw aside the veil of conventional reserve from the daily thinking, feeling, and living of my most commonplace acquaintance, and read these from Preface to Finis, I should rate the wildest dream of the novelist as tame by comparison.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
