_Jellied Egg._--Put one pint of water into a small, narrow saucepan,
and bring to a boil. Drop in one egg with a spoon, and set the saucepan
immediately on the table for from seven to eight minutes; then
serve. If more eggs are added, the amount of water must be increased
proportionately.
_Corn Dodgers._--One cup corn meal (preferably toasted lightly in
the oven), one and one half tablespoonfuls vegetable fat, one half
teaspoonful salt, one tablespoonful brown sugar, one and one half cups
boiling water. Mix all the dry ingredients, add the fat and pour on
the boiling water and stir smooth. A few more tablespoonfuls water may
be added if needed to make a batter of such a consistency as to drop
from a spoon, but not run. Drop from the side of a spoon, onto an oiled
baking pan, and bake in a quick oven.
_Corn Cake._--Use the above recipe, and spread in an oiled baking pan
one fourth inch deep, and bake in a hot oven.
_New England Dinner._--Six medium small potatoes, four small carrots,
four small turnips, six small onions, one half small cabbage, one and
one half tablespoonfuls vegetable butter, and salt to taste. Quarter
the peeled turnips and carrots. Add the onions whole, and put into a
saucepan with water enough to cover the vegetables, and salt, and bring
to a boil. Separate the cabbage leaves, and drop them into another
vessel of boiling water, to blanch them for five minutes; then drain,
and add to the boiling vegetables. Add the potatoes, and let boil
gently until nearly done; then add the vegetable butter, and let simmer
until thoroughly done.
_Cream Rice Pudding._--One half cup uncooked white rice, five cupfuls
milk, scant one third cup sugar, vanilla flavor. Wash the rice
thoroughly, add the milk, and cook in a double boiler for three fourths
of an hour. Add the sugar and the vanilla flavor, and pour into an
oiled baking pan and bake in a moderate oven. As soon as the first
crust forms, stir it down, at the same time stirring the rice. Then
allow the last crust to form and brown, and remove from the oven.
_Milk Toast._--Put a piece of zwieback into a bowl, pour scalding hot
milk over it, and serve.
_Raisin Sandwich._--Chop one half cup seeded raisins fine, and add
one fourth cup ground walnuts. Add one and one half tablespoonfuls
mayonnaise dressing and one teaspoonful lemon juice, and mix well.
Spread between slices of thinly buttered bread, cut in triangles, and
serve.
