A Lynn column cites a professional laundry survey on flag care. Wool flags need gentle washing with mild soap and water under 100 degrees, then rinsed in lukewarm soft water and air dried.

Practical fissures on ironing and dampening with a sponge, plus culinary hints. Substitute coffee for half the milk in chocolate pie for new flavor and add a cinnamon stick to custards for color.
