Roast Corn in Foil Remove husks and silk from fresh corn and soak the ears in cold water with a tablespoon of salt added for each quart of water,. Soak only 5 minutes, then drain and wrap the ears in squares of aluminum foil and place in an oven, preheated to 450 de grees. Cook 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with plenty of butter, chili powder, salt and pepper. Fast cooling after cooking is the way to prevent dark circles around the yolks of hard-cooked eggs. A chemical change takes place inside the egg when it overcooks, or is left to cool in the water in which it cooked. The dark circle is harmless, but it mars the appearance. Cold running water halts the chemical change. , - . . I Venerable Vegetable New York - (DPD - Brussels sprouts are a venerable veg etable. The first ones were found growing near Brussels, Belgium, in 1213. But they were not grown commercially in the United States until 1909, when farmers planted them in California's Pedro Valley. Today, Brussels sprouts are a 50-million pound a year business in this country with California producing 85 per cent of the annual crop. Ninety-six per cent of the crop is frozen for year-round use. 4 To amuse a baby, give him an egg carton and various small objects. He will find it fun to place them in the dif ferent compartments.
