Fresh air is important, together with exercise, for a complete utilization of food that it may yield the great- est efficiency to man. EXPERIMENTS WITH STARCH I. Bro port ions. Water Starch Flavoring Time No. 1. Y2 pint IT. Lemon 5 min. No. 2. y2 pint 2 T. or 30 min. No. 3. y2 pint 3 T. Orange 30 min. No. 4 y2 pint 4 T. 5 min. No. 5 y2 pint 5T. 5 min. II. Methods of Mixing. (1) Mix starch and entire quantity of. cold water to a smooth paste. Heat to boiling point. Note stirring necessary and the length of time required to make the mixture clear. (2) Mix the starch with four tablespoons of water. Kaise the remaining portion to the boiling point; add the starch-paste slowly to the boiling water. (3) Pour the boiling water on the starch-paste. III. Xote the following: 1. Compare the three methods as to length of time required, efficiency. 2. Note change in color, consistency, and flavor. 3. Compare starch cooked five minutes with starch cooked thirty minutes; hot and cold. 4. Note the thickness of each mixture while hot, and for what purpose each might be suitable, e. g., for cream toast; for cream soup; for croquettes. 5. Note the thickness of the mixture when cold; for what pur- pose each might be suitable, e. g., cold pudding or a blanc mange. G. In using milk as the liquid, what change in method of cooking would be necessary? When should flavoring be added? Lemon, for example. WHITE SAUCE. 1.
