_Corn Meal with Raisins._--Wash one half cup raisins, and put them
between two pie tins in the oven until hot through. Put one cup corn
meal into a baking pan, and toast lightly in the oven; then sprinkle it
gradually into three and one half cupfuls of boiling water, with one
fourth teaspoonful salt, and let cook gently for ten minutes. Add the
raisins, let cook for twenty minutes more, and serve.
_Poached Egg._--Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, break the egg
into a separate dish, and drop carefully into the boiling water. Set
immediately to one side of the stove until the egg is firm enough to
remove, and the white will be tender and jellylike.
_Cream of Tomato Soup._--Two cupfuls strained tomato, one cupful water,
two teaspoonfuls vegetable butter, one tablespoonful light brown
flour, one cupful canned milk or rich cream, salt to taste. Bring the
water, the tomato, and the butter to a boil. Thicken with the flour
made smooth with a little cold water. Salt to taste, add canned milk
(unheated), strain, and serve. If cream is used, omit the butter.
_Vegetable Loaf._--One and one half cups soaked stale bread, three
fourths cup cooked and left-over food (brown beans preferred), one and
one half tablespoonfuls vegetable butter, two teaspoonfuls chopped
onion, a sprinkle of sage and marjoram, one tablespoonful brown flour,
one third cup milk, one egg, and salt to taste. Soak the bread in cold
water until soft all the way through; then press out lightly. Put the
butter, the onion, and the savory into a small pan, and simmer for a
few moments. Add the brown flour, then the milk, and stir until smooth.
Mash the beans with a spoon, beat the egg slightly, and mix all the
ingredients. Bake in an oiled baking pan until set, and brown on the
top. Loosen with a knife along the edge, turn out on a platter, and
serve.
_Country Gravy._--Cook down a little sour cream in a pan until the oil
separates and the albumen turns a very light brown color; then add
enough flour (previously browned in the oven) to take up the fat from
the cream. Add a little hot milk, and stir smooth. Add more milk, and
bring to a boil and the thickness of medium thin gravy.
_Stewed Corn._--Take cooked corn cut off the cob, add a little hot
water, and bring to a boil. Season with a little cream or vegetable
butter, reheat, and serve.
_Fruit Soup._--Two cups blackberry or strawberry juice, four
tablespoonfuls sago, two teaspoonfuls lemon juice, two cups water,
sugar to taste. Wash the sago, drain, add to two cups boiling water,
and let cook until clear. Add the fruit juices, and sweeten to taste.
Preferably served cold.
