Question
of the week, what is
Scrod?
Recipes
for Historic Cooking Broiled
Scrod.
A young cod, split down the back,
and backbone removed, except a
small portion near the tail, is
called a scrod. Scrod are
always broiled, spread with
butter, and sprinkled with salt
and pepper. Haddock is also
so dressed. Boston Cooking-School
Cook Book, by Fannie Farmer..
Boston. 1896.
Little
known facts about COKE &
BOUNCE
BOUNCE...the
stuff you use in your
dryer:
Repels
mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce
through a belt loop when outdoors
during mosquito
season.
Eliminates
static electricity from your
television screen. Since Bounce
is designed to help eliminate
static cling, wipe your
television screen with a used
sheet of Bounce to keep dust from
resettling.
Dissolves
soap scum from shower doors.
Clean with a used sheet of
Bounce.
Freshens
the air in your home. Place an
individual sheet of Bounce in a
drawer or hang one in the
closet.
Prevents
thread from tangling. Run a
threaded needle through a sheet
of Bounce to eliminate the static
cling on the thread before
sewing.
Eliminates
static cling from pantyhose. Rub
a damp, used sheet of Bounce over
the hose.
Prevents
musty suitcases. Place an
individual sheet of Bounce inside
empty luggage before
storing.
Freshens
the air in your car. Place a
sheet of Bounce under the front
seat.
Cleans
baked-on food from a cooking pan.
Put a sheet in the pan, fill with
water, let sit overnight, and
sponge clean. The anti-static
agents apparently weaken the bond
between the food and the pan
while the fabric softening agents
soften the baked-on
food.
Eliminates
odors in wastebaskets. Place a
sheet of Bounce at the bottom of
the wastebasket.
Collects
cat hair. Rubbing the area with a
sheet of Bounce will magnetically
attract all the loose
hairs.
Eliminates
static electricity from venetian
blinds. Wipe the blinds with a
sheet of Bounce to prevent dust
from resetting.
Deodorizes
shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet
of Bounce in your shoes or
sneakers overnight so they'll
smell great in the
morning.
And
now, Coke:
To
clean a toilet: Pour a can of
Coke into the toilet. Let
the"real thing" sit for one hour,
then flush clean.
The
citric acid in Coke removes
stains from vitreous
china.
To
remove rust spots from chrome car
bumpers: Rub the bumper with a
crumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in
Coke.
To
clean corrosion from car battery
terminals: Pour a can of Coke
over the terminals to bubble away
the corrosion.
To
loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a
cloth soaked in Coke to the
rusted bolt for several
minutes.
To
bake a moist ham: Empty a can of
Coke into the baking pan; wrap
the ham in aluminum foil, and
bake. Thirty minutes before the
ham is finished, remove the foil,
allowing the drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous
brown gravy.
To
remove grease from clothes: Empty
a can of Coke into a load of
greasy clothes, add detergent,
and run through a regular cycle.
The Coke will help loosen grease
stains.
It
will also clean road haze from
your windshield.....
