Although there are many
methods of drying flowers.
the two most common are
air drying and silica -gel dry-
ing.
Amateurs can experiment
with air drying. the oldest

method is not suited to all
types of plants.- . •

the new convenient

and appreciate the time they

Remembering my

sense that• I'm missing
something.
I recall the spi y scent

Mom made chip uc•e 1 can
see home-made rolls and

stove I attacked them while
they were still warm and
smothered them with
butter. they never lasted
long.

. December. 1 watched Moth
dice fruits and nuts and
blend them into the colour-
ful batter of her Christmas
cake.
1 enjoyed the look. aroma
and taste of homecooking
but gave littte thought to the
work involved. If I tried
some of those recipes now. I
bet I could satisfy a whole
baseball- team- They could
use my rolls for balls and
my cake for home plate.
Many- women have retain-
ed their cooking expertise. A
walk through the bake
booths at any fall fair proves
that But more and more
women. especially in my
age bracket, are turning to
canned goods and freeze-
dried products.
I. for one. admire the
ladies with the flour on their
hands and the good smells in
their kitchens:- The 4i1v
thing I do t- emyfabout
them is the hours they spend
leaning over a hot stove. •
