"Peo- ple are never in a rush. The only thing that starts on time is the bullfight". It is a far less placid matter to baggie with a volatile taxi driver over fares, however.

Prior to leaving Brockville, Imagine. if you can, cooking without any measurements, with a handful of flour, vanila to taste, rdash of salt and a little cream. This is" how the Canad- ian wife and mother of a too years ago did it, “cooking by ear" or possibly by "the feel." Edward Bowser. a resident of Vernon River, while repairing his 100 year old home found a old cookbook between the walls of the house. The book is entit- led "The Canadian Home Cook Mr. Bowser, whose hobby is cooking. had tried many of the old recipiu in the book and says they are wonderful. His family. he said. particularly liked fried ban has." e book can't boast one sin- gle accurate measurement; egg yolk is spelled throughout egg yelk:" and a large section of the book is devoted to "beverages" including white spruce beer and "sham champagne." If any cooking utensil was a necessity a hundred years ago, it was the tea cup. The book specifies that you beat egg yolks in teacups, mix yeast in teacups, chop nuts and fruit in teacups. The book also anticipated that the Canadian wife would have a large family and, or hearty ap- petites since everything seems -to be produced in rather large quantities. For example if your having frlcasseed eggs for break- fast you were requested to boil one dozen eggs.
