The Book of Tea

The term "Cocoa," a corruption of "Cacao," is almost universally used in English-speaking countries to designate the seeds of the small tropical tree known to botanists as THEOBROMA CACAO, from which a great variety of preparations under the name of cocoa and chocolate for eating and drinking are made. The name "Chocolatl" is nearly the same in most European languages, and is taken from the Mexican name of the drink, "Chocolate" or "Cacahuatl." The Spaniards found chocolate in common use among the Mexicans at the time of the invasion under Cortez in 1519, and it was introduced into Spain immediately after. The Mexicans not only used chocolate as a staple article of food, but they used the seeds of the cacao tree as a medium of exchange.

In this book, Philadelphia Ice Creams, comprising the first group, are very palatable, but expensive. In many parts of the country it is quite difficult to get good cream. For that reason, I have given a group of creams, using part milk and part cream, but it must be remembered that it takes smart "juggling" to make ice cream from milk. By far better use condensed milk, with enough water or milk to rinse out the cans.

Ordinary fruit creams may be made with condensed milk at a cost of about fifteen cents a quart, which, of course, is cheaper than ordinary milk and cream.

In places where neither cream nor condensed milk can be purchased, a fair ice cream is made by adding two tablespoonfuls of olive oil to each quart of milk. The cream for Philadelphia Ice Cream should be rather rich, but not double cream.

If pure raw cream is stirred rapidly, it swells and becomes frothy, like the beaten whites of eggs, and is "whipped cream." To prevent this in making Philadelphia Ice Cream, one-half the cream is scalded, and when it is very cold, the remaining half of raw cream is added. This gives the smooth, light and rich consistency which makes these creams so different from others.

A 1912 look at weight loss, both humorous and practical.

As a period reviewer put it:

"The Fun of Getting Thin," or "How to reduce the waist line," is a very readable little brochure. In tone it is somewhat humorous, and yet it is sensible and aims directly to the point. It describes the conditions of a man who was excessively fat and his method of reduction, which proved a complete success, in one instance at least, that is, his own. His method is no fad. He came to the sensible conclusion that superfluous fat is caused by an excess of food and drink, and that it can be taken off by a reduction in those fat-makers. That is, "the only way to get rid of the effects of overeating and overdrinking is to stop overeating and overdrinking." This is simple enough, if one has the nerve to go through with it. In the writer's case, we are informed, he finally decided he could go to it, and he did.

By many people who are in the same condition as the writer these three chapters are worth reading. Others may appreciate and profit by them.
