Help in the KItchen

My grandma had this little red booklet in her recipe box for as long as I remember and it remains there 'til this day.  The pages are browning...it was printed in 1980.  As it's name says, it provides "kitchen hints".  I thought I'd share a few from time to time..


Today's hint:
                  Recipes at the ready...To keep recipe books or cards clean while cooking, place under an upside-down glass pie plate.  The curved bottom also magnifies the print and helps keep the cookbook open (and clean).

Happy Sunday, y'all~
