Culinary Maxims.
Every bee’s honey is sweet. The house showeth the owner. Anger at a feast betrays the boor. In a good house all is quickly ready. As the year is so must your pot seethe. Everything is of use to a housekeeper. He that is at ease seeks dainties. Better be meals many than one too merry. He that s'veth his dinner will have the more supper. Never haggle about the basket if you get the fruit. There is winter enough for the snipe and woodcock too. Squeeze not the orange too hard, lest you have a bitter juice They who have little butter must be content to spread thin their bread. Many a good dish is spoiled by an ill sauce. The biggest calf makes not the sw< etest. veal. When the stomach chimes the dinner hour don’t wait for the clock.— Table Talk.
