She should be clean in her dress, temperate in her habits, and frugal of those thing which she is intrusted. As so much depends upon her skin and arrangement, she never ought to allow any person to intermeddle with her proper business, in matters that reqiure much experience and close attentiorn for it is the fool alone that will have to bear the blame of whatever is ill dressed; and the plea that the fault owing to the ignorance or carelessness of others will be considered and perhaps justley as an aggravation of the offence The kitchen is the province of the cook and there-fore it mus be looked after with constant watchfulness, to see that nothing is wanting or out of order, and that all the dressers and utensils are kept clean, and in good condition by the scullery maid or whoever has the more menial offices to perform.
So there we are then. Now I know how to act in the kitchen.
According to Alexander Murry MD.
I don't know where my scullery maid is, must have left her on the bus:D

How about this for a a recipe:confused:
In a family nothing should be lost, and instead of giving broken meat to wandering mendicants, who frequently when out of sight, thow it to the dogs, it would be better to make the same into comfortable messes for the poor housekeepers. The remnats of boiled meat, with bones, rice, barley grits, oatmeal and vegetables, stewed for sometime, will afford an effectual support to many distressed persons, who are burdened with children. Fish bones, with the heads and fins, the rind of bacon and a variety of articles which are thrown out of the kitchen of the affluent, would yeild nutirious food to the labouring sick poor.
It makes me wonder how people could think like this.
By the way the basic weekly wage for a man in the early 1900 was 16/9.
16 shillings and 9d which is $1.34 cents. and this book cost half a crown = 2/6 about 13 cents, which would have been a fair wack out of a mans pay.
