=Spinach.=--Pick over carefully, thoroughly wash, then put into a bag,
leaving the vegetable quite damp. Add a little salt, seal and cook
thirty minutes. Before lifting the bag from the oven slide a pan under
it, and prick the bottom of the bag so the water will drain out. Dish,
adding butter to season and serve.
=Summer Squash in Butter.=--Cut into narrow strips and season with salt
and pepper. Put into well-greased bag, add a generous lump of butter and
cook about half an hour.
=Stuffed Summer Squash.=--Boil in lightly salted water until tender. Cut
off the top and scoop out the inside. Mix well with seasoned and
buttered crumbs, chopped onion and grated cheese. Fill the shell,
sprinkle the top with buttered crumbs, put in bag and bake until brown.
=Stuffed Tomatoes With Cream.=--Mix together three-quarters of a cupful
of cold-chopped chicken or veal, three tablespoonfuls of soft bread
crumbs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, one teaspoonful of chopped
parsley, half a teaspoonful of salt and quarter teaspoonful of paprika.
Wash and wipe six medium-sized tomatoes, take a small piece from the
stem end, carefully remove a portion of the pulp, and fill the hole with
the stuffing; place in a buttered bag and cook for thirty minutes in a
moderate oven. Remove to a hot platter, whip three tablespoonfuls of
rich cream, add to it two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, and pour a
small portion over each tomato.
=Turnips.=--Peel and slice your turnips and put them in a well-greased
bag with a light seasoning of salt, a lump of butter barely dusted with
flour, and enough thin stock to half cover them. Seal and cook in a
moderate oven for an hour more or less according to the tenderness of
the vegetable. Empty into a hot dish and if not rich enough add more
butter, and dust with black pepper and salt.
=Turnip Balls.=--Peel fine grained turnips, then cut into balls, using a
vegetable scoop. Put into a well-greased bag with a light seasoning of
salt, a little sugar, a dusting of pepper, a tablespoonful of butter or
vegetable oil and a quarter cupful of hot water, seal, and cook half an
hour until tender, but not brown. Take up, add a half cupful hot cream
sauce, stir lightly in it, sprinkle with minced parsley and serve very
hot.
