from According to the Joy


the making of a perfect mayonnaise is the Sunday job for Papa

to avoid anti-climax remember

the smooth, rich-looking glisten of hand beaten

don’t try if a thunderstorm is in progress, as it simply will not bind

outdoor enthusiasts do best when they stick to simple methods

separate the leaves and wash thoroughly

try some of the wild as well as the cultivated

place firm ripe bananas between halves

wet ones should be patted between towels

lie down until skilled help comes and keep quiet and warm

if someone is with you, let her remove any loose clothing . . . but do not let her touch
