Feature – Focus on Holiday Decorating

 

Holiday decorating is usually centered around themes for presenting the family feast.  Here's an idea for your dining table. You bought all those cute little tiny pumpkins for Halloween, but NOW what do you do with them??  Why not turn them into the Thanksgiving centerpiece!  Just cut a hole into the pumpkin with a knife, then carve out room for a tapered candle.  You could even do this with other fruits, such as apples, pears, oranges, and star fruit.  The height of various fruit would make an interesting candle arrangement.

 

Ask the Experts

 

Q.  As the holiday season is coming up fast (it seems to come faster every year!), what can I do about those gravy stains that seem to appear after our Thanksgiving dinner?

A.   Thanksgiving dinner - turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes - and that 'oops' sound as someone apologizes for spilling the gravy on the tablecloth.  Remember, before attempting any stain removal, first test the article for colorfastness. Gravy stains, as well as eggnog, are protein stains and should be treated the same way.  First, blot the stain with cold water and a mild detergent.  If the stain remains, take a small amount of detergent and mix with regular household ammonia (the non-sudsing type) to form a paste and apply to the stained area.  Let stand for five to ten minutes, then launder as usual.  If the stain remains, use an enzyme presoak or a detergent that contains enzymes and follow the manufacturer's instructions.  And enjoy your leftovers!
