Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

1 cupful sugar 1/4 cupful boiling water 1/8 teaspoonful salt 12 marshmallows 2 ounces chocolate 3 tablespoonfuls water 1/2 teaspoonful vanilla In a saucepan stir the sugar, boiling water, and salt.
Then place over a low flame and heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Cut the marshmallows in halves, add to the sugar mixture, and beat until the marshmallows have melted.
Cut the chocolate in pieces and mix with 3 tablespoonfuls water.
Stir and cook over a low flame until a thick, smooth paste is formed.
Add to the sugar mixture.
Beat until the frosting is of proper consistency to spread, then stir in the vanilla.
