Tip of the week
Cooking:

To freeze stock of your choice, eg., tomato, mixed vegetable, spinach, etc., prepare thick stock and cool to room temperature. Transfer to ice cube trays and freeze to make solid cubes. Remove cubes and transfer to a freezable polythene bag, with an air seal. Remove excess air, seal tight. Store in freezer and use cubes as required.
Health:
Make a potpourri of dried roses, lavender, jasmine, mint leaves, oatmeal and a handful of coarse gram flour. Tie in a strong but not too thick cloth. Soak for 10 minutes in bath water and rub yourself with the pouch while bathing for a fresh, fragrant and clean bath.

Cookery term
Skewer:

Metal or wooden pin used to hold meat, poultry or fish in shape during cooking.
