Carafe: Clean & Shining
First the opening of the "Objects" section from Gertrude Stein Tender Buttons (1914).
A CARAFE, THAT IS A BLIND GLASS.Next a household hint from the The Original Boston Cooking School Cook Book 1896 by Fannie Merritt Farmer
A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing. All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling. The difference is spreading.
HINTS TO THE YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERCompare the rhythms. Description and instruction. Cousins. Sparkling.
To Wash Carafes. Half fill with hot soapsuds, to which is added one teaspoon washing soda. Put in newspaper torn in small pieces. Let stand one-half hour, occasionally shaking. Empty, rinse with hot water, drain. [W]ipe outside, and let stand to dry inside.
And so for day 1410
