When the sponge is sufficiently light, add the salt, the sugar, and the
vegetable fat, and mix well. Add the scalded and warm corn meal, and
mix all into a soft dough. Turn out on a floured board, and knead until
elastic to the touch. Then return to an oiled bowl, cover, let rise,
and finish the same as for entire wheat bread.
_Wheat Gruel._--Take the steamed wheat left over from breakfast, add
water to cover, and let cook gently until well done. Mash through a
strainer, season with salt and a little cream or canned milk, and serve.
_Rye Sticks._--The recipe for rye sticks is given following the recipe
for rye wafers in Tuesday's lesson.

_Grano Cereal._--Two cups pastry flour, one third cup rolled oats, one
fourth cup corn meal, one fourth teaspoonful salt, large one half cup
water. Mix all the dry ingredients, and add the water slowly, stirring
constantly to a very stiff dough. Knead a few moments, then roll out
one fourth inch thick. Cut into strips about three inches wide, prick
with a fork, lay in a baking pan, and bake in a medium oven until a
very light brown and fairly crisp. When cool, grind through a food
chopper, using a coarse knife. Serve with milk or cream.
_Grano with Dates._--Two cups water, one cup grano cereal, one half cup
washed and pitted dates, a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil,
and sprinkle in the grano. Stir until thick, then add the dates, and
serve with cream.
_Baked Garbanzos (chick peas)._--Wash one cup garbanzos, and soak
overnight. Drain, add two cups boiling water, and let boil gently until
thoroughly done, or cook in fireless overnight. Return to the fire, add
salt to taste, and let cook gently until the liquid is reduced; then
put into the oven in a covered dish, and bake until they begin to brown
slightly on the bottom.
_Navy Bean Soup Army Style._--One cup navy beans, seven cups water, two
thirds cup diced carrot, one third cup diced onion, one tablespoonful
vegetable butter, salt to taste. Wash the beans, and cook very slowly
until tender, adding the salt when they are about half done. Put the
butter, the diced carrot, and the onion into a small pan with three
tablespoonfuls water, and stir over the fire until the water is
absorbed; then add to the bean soup, and let boil gently for thirty
minutes or more. Add a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and serve.
