Sealer needed for cork tiles By ANDY LANG AP Newsfeatures Q. I will be putting down resilient floor tiles in my kitchen, but am having second thoughts about using cork tile because I was told they absorb grease. Would asphalt tile or vinyl tile be better from that standpoint? I assume, judging by some shopping I have been doing, that cork and vinyl tiles are more expensive than asphalt. A. Yes, cork and vinyl cost more than asphalt. Grease will affect both the cork and the asphalt. In the case of cork, putting some Kind of sealer on it, even wax, will prevent damage from grease, but only to a certain extent. In the case of asphalt, there is a greaseresistant type that costs more than the regular. Vinyl has excellent resistance to grease and other products that stain, especially the solid vinyl. Q. There is space in our bathroom for a shower stall. I would like to install it myself. Do they come in one piece or do I have to assemble it? I consider myself very handy, although I have never attempted anything of this nature. How big should it be? A. You can buy shower stall units either in one piece or which must be assembled from pre-formed parts. The best size is 36 inches by 48 inches by about 7 feet in height. You can handle it yourself, but be extra careful there is good drainage and the floor is not slippery. Q. We have a bam in need of reroofing. I am debating whether to use wood shingles or aluminum. The roof has a fairly steep slope. What about durability and maintenance? A. Aluminum is likely to be more durable and require less maintenance than wood, but may be a little more costly. If you decide on wood, which may look better, check the local building codes. Some do not allow wood shingles because of the fire hazard unless the shingles are given a special treatment. Q. I soon will be roofing a shed. I expect to get the materials a few weeks befor e I can start the job. Is it all right to leave asphalt shingles outside for those few weeks? After all, they will be exposed to the weather for a long time. A. sure they are well covered. After they have been installed, the shingles will shed water easily. Before then, the backs of the tiles will absorb water and later cause trouble. Q. I want to use canvas roofing on a sun deck. Will this be OK? I expect to use plywood as a base for the canvas. All right? A. Yes to both questions, but be sure it is exterior plywood. To keep the canvas in ghod shape, it will have to be repainted every two or three years.

Apricot, coconut combine for light dessert

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor Cupcakes, glazed with apricot preserves and topped with coconut, were in style for teatime fare in the 19205. Those were the days when cupcakes such as these were served warm from the oven because then their texture is at its best. A hostess had household help or else she had to be in the kitchen until shortly before her guests arrived. The way we serve these cupcakes warm these days is to bake them ahead, leave them plain and then, when we need them, reheat them briefly in a hot oven. Only the apricot glaze and the coconut topping are added just before serving. APRICOT AND COCONUT CUPCAKES V/z cups sifted cake flour V/z teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt Two sticks butter, at room temperature % cup sugar 3 large eggs 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla Vz cup sieved apricot preserves Shredded or flaked coconut Grease and flour eight 6-ounce custard cups. On a sheet of wax paper sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
