The Dixie Cook-Book

“The best is none too good.” Southern family receipts gathered across generations and printed in Atlanta in 1883 — and, in the same volume, everything else a household was expected to know: the laundry, the sick-room, dressmaking, babies, and a year's bill of fare.

Barbed Pickle

FORK. This is intended for removing pickles and olives from deep jars or large bottles. The barbed tines make sure of holding a pickle every time.

THE FORD DISH DRAIN. - This consists of two separate articles-a neat, strong wire basket, with a smaller basket inside, and a drip-pan. The smaller dishes are set on edge in the small basket, and the longer ones between the two, there being space enough below the basket in the drip-pan to hold the water which drains off. To rinse with hot water the basket with dishes in it may be removed from pan to sink, hot water poured over them, and then returned to pan to drain.

This drain was the invention of a woman, and its convenience shows that she knew what she wanted.
