| Eggs and cheese | Omelet |
To make a fluffy omelet, separate the yolks and whites carefully and beat them well. To the yolks add as many tablespoons of milk or water as there are eggs, enough salt for seasoning, and mix well. Then fold in the fluffy whites until they are well blended, being careful not to stir roughly and so release the air which has been beaten into the whites. Cook the omelet in a heavy pan, such as an iron skillet, of such a size that the mixture will be about 1 inch deep. Put the pan on to heat while the eggs are being beaten.

it enough butter to coat the bottom, but do not allow the butter to brown. If the butter gets too hot, it may cause the omelet to burn and the flavor will be ruined. The secret of a perfect omelet is to cook it at a moderate temperature. Pour the egg mi.xture into the skillet and cook at a low, even heat. The air then has a chance to expand and raise the omelet before the proteins of the egg and milk set. From Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes, 1927, page 27.

The air beaten into the egg whites makes the souffle fluffy; therefore mix the egg whites in with a careful folding motion. Pour the mixture at once into the buttered baking dish and bake in a very moderate oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Long, slow cooking is one of the secrets of making a perfect souffle. The moderate heat makes the air bubbles in the egg whites expand until is light and cooks it thoroughly so that even when a spoon is put into it for serving it does not collapse like a pricked balloon. That is what happens to a souffle, omelet, or other similar egg dish that has been cooked too rapidly at too high a temperature. Souffles are not hard to make if one remembers this important point.

Next day drain the sirup from the berries and boil until it is reduced to about half its original volume. Allow the sirup to cool, place the berries in it, and heat again slowly; boil very gently for 3 or 4 minutes and allow to stand for 2 hours or more. Then boil gently a thu-d tinie for 5 minutes. Allow the berries to stand in the thick sirup overnight; warm once more, so that the sirup will be thin enough to pour easily, and drain the berries from the sirup. Spread them on a clean cloth or paper to dry. They should then be bright, firm, plmnp, and semitransparent. They may be rolled in powdered sugar, stored in jars or tins, and used as a sweetmeat or in place of candied cherries for garnishes, puddings, sauces, and salads. The sii'up left over after the cranberries are candied has a pleasant flavor and fine color and is excellent as puddiag sauce, or may be diluted for use on pancakes or waffles.
