Cooking Macaroni Properly.
The first thing to do to insure a
tempting dish of macaroni or spa~
vghetti is to boil it properly. It must
be cooked thoroughly, but each piece
must be shapely. It must be tender,
but in no wise sticky. The easiest
way to cook it properly is to put it
over the fire in cold, slightly salted
water, and bring it gradually to the
, boiling point. Then simmer it until
Jt is done. Do not boil it rapidly, as
'this fast boiling might break it. Stir
it carefully often enough to keep it
from sticking to the bottom of the
pan. .
The minute macaroni or spaghetti is
done, drain it. Some cooks dash it
for a moment into cold water to5blach
it, and this is a good trick if it is to
be further prepared before serving.
But if it is to be served just boiled.

this blanching process chills it. As

in a wire sieve, tipping the sieve from
pide to side so that the water in the
tub may run out, and then mix some

pieces of macaroni from sticking to
5 gather.
' Algood way to cook macaroni for
children is to soak -it or an hour ilt
milk and then cook it in the“ milk in a
double boiler until it is quite tender.
The milk should be mostly absorbed
at the end of the cooking.
Macaroni croquettes are delicious
and somewhat unusual. To make
them, chop line two cupfuls of maca-
roni and bind it together with some
very thick cream sauce. Add salt and
pepper and a tablespoonful of grated
pdrmesan cheese and a beaten egg
Form into croquettes after the mix-
ture is quite cool. Dip ill egg and
crumbs and fry brown.
Spaghetti and tomato may be pre-
pared in this way. Break sphagctti in
