Never work before breakfast; if you have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first. |

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.” |
| Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author. |
"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Cut the string beans in pieces; break the cauliflower into flowerets,
add the lima beans and corn and cook all four ingredients about 25
minutes. Chop the onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Heat the vinegar and
when hot, add the sugar, salt and spices which have been mixed
together. Drain the water from the cooked vegetables and add to the
hot vinegar. Then add the chopped vegetables and cook about 25
minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
