Hints from Heloise

Shellac is answer to cleaning greasy walls

DEAR HELOISE: How do you paint a wall that's been splattered with grease’ The stain seeps through regular wall paint and no amount of additional coats help. Judy Hebert * * * There is a commercial product especially for sealing oil, grease or water spots before painting. You should be able to get it at your local paint or hardware store. Just let the salesperson know what you want it for. I’ve found that plain old shellac does a super job. If your ceiling has water spots from a pre\ ious roof leak, put a coat of shellac over the stain before applying your ceiling paint. • If the area around your cook stove is spattered with grease, again apply a coat or two of shellac before painting. You'll end up with a beautiful coat of paint and no -telltale signs of previous 'stains. Heloise ■ TOOTHBRUSH TIP - Dear Heloise: How about

those family toothbrushes getting a good cleaning and sanitizing each week. They sure can get yucky looking. Put them in the silverware holder of your dishwasher and run them through the regular cycle when doing the dishes. Much healthier! Carroll Sandnes CHOP! CHOP! Dear Heloise: I needed a food chopper, so I used an empty baking powder can. I cut off the bottom run leaving a sharp edge. When it becomes dull, it can be discarded and another "chopper” made. The can chops cooked meats, onions, celery, nuts, even pickles to a very fine texture. Easy to wash and store in my upper cabinets (definitely not a utensil for curious little hands). It’s a very inexpensive but most useful kitchen aid. Mrs. J.C. Kemp HINTS FROM HIM Dear Heloise: To peel oranges without cutting into

not yet adept at roiling out pastry. Now she is having a cocktail party and wondered whether you would give a recipe for the crab quiche made in a square or oblong pan so that it can be cut in bite-size pieces for finger food. I volunteered to ask you. - HELPING HAND. DEAR HELPING HAND: Here’s an oblong quiche for willing fingers. Patting the

sections or breaking fingernails, grasp a teaspoon at the base of the handle and peel with the side edge of the spoon. Works great. Bill Games KNOB PROTECTORS Dear Heloise: I’ve found another way to use the plastic lids of margarine containers and potato chip cans. Any piece of furniture that has knobs on drawers or doors will stay clean and painted longer if you do this: Remove the knob (which is usually attached by one screw), puncture a hole in the center of the plastic lid and place it between the knob and the painted surface. Replace the screw and you have a shield against sticky fingers. Some lids come in colors or can be decorated with self-sticking paper or decals. These are ideal for small children’s rooms.

dough over the bottom and partly up the sides of the large pan isn’t as speedy a process as one might think, but it certainly is easy. Tell your daughter not to worry about pressing out the pastry absolutely evenly; a slight variation in thickness doesn't seem to matter in this recipe. If she does the best she can, all will be well.

freshener when I’m expecting company, here’s what I do: A few minutes before they arrive, I pop two slices of bread in the toaster, butter them when done and set them aside. The house smells like freshbaked bread and I’m always hearing, “Your house smells so g00d... ” Later, the birds get a treat. Margaret Repko CORN ON THE COB Dear Heloise: My family loves com on the cob. Those little holders are the niftiest things for eating it but a nuisance to wash. I just poke them into a large, big hole strainer, then swish them around in the dishwater a few seconds, rinsing in hot water. They’re all neatly done at one time with no fishing in the bottom of the dishpan and hoping you’ll find the “right” end. Shannon * * * Don’t hoard a great household hint. Do send it to Heloise, P.O.

in a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan. Pat dough evenly to cover the bottom and extend 4 inch up the sides of the pan. In a medium skillet in the hot butter, gently cook the onion until wilted; stir in the flour, then the Parmesan and crab. Spread over pastry. Sprinkle with the Swiss cheese. In a medium bowl beat together until blended the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Carefullv pour over the crab and cheese. Bake in a preheated 350-de-gree oven on the rack below center for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut into squares each about 2 by 2 inches. Remove with a small spatula and serve at once or keep warm in a low oven for a short time. Makes 24. FINGER PASTRY: Stir together 1 and l-3rd cups forkstirred all-purpose flour and 4 teaspoon salt. With a pastry blender, cut in 4 cup (one quarter-pound stick) butter. Sprinkle with just enough cold water (about 3 tablespoons) to have dough hold together, mixing with a fork as you add the water.
