Cut American or Swiss cheese very thin, spread with mustard, and
place a piece, trimmed to the size of the bread used, between two
pieces of buttered white or rye bread.
GERMAN SANDWICHES
Use rye or "black" bread, with caraway seeds baked in it, spread the
two slices with unsalted butter, and on one arrange thin slices of
Swiss cheese; spread this with German or French mustard, and arrange
on it 2 or 3 slices of Dill pickles.
HONOLULU SANDWICHES
Pare and core 3 apples, stem and seed 2 sweet green peppers, and put
them through a vegetable mill. Mix them into 2 Neufchâtel cheeses,
and use as filling for brown or white bread sandwiches.
He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast;
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

PIE-CRUST
Shortened pie-crust is made by using for one pie 2/3 of a cup of flour,
with 1/3 of a teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt
in it. Sift this onto 1/2 a cup of cocoanut butter or 1/2 a cup of
butter, or these two in equal proportions, dampen with ice-water,
and roll out five or six times. Keep ice-cold until used.
EASY PUFF PASTE
Use a chopping bowl for mixing the paste, and into it put 4 cups of
flour (sifted), 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt, adding
it a spoonful at a time. Use 2 cups of butter, chopping it into the
flour until it is as fine as possible. Beat 2 eggs for five minutes
and add to them the juice of one lemon and 1/2 cup of very cold water,
and stir this gradually into the paste. When mixed lift the paste
to a well-floured pastry board, roll it into a rectangular shape,
fold it over onto itself from the four sides, then roll again, and
repeat this process four times. Now fold into a thin piece of linen,
and place on a plate near the ice in the refrigerator, and let it stand
half an hour or more. Roll out again and use for patties, or pie-crust.
TIMBALE CASES
Make a batter of 3/4 of a cup of flour, 1/2 cup of milk in which 1
egg has been beaten, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 saltspoon of salt, and
at the very last add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Dip the timbale iron
in the batter, then in hot vegetable fat, taking care it does not
touch the bottom of the pan. When a golden brown remove and place on
paper to drain, and proceed thus until a sufficient number has been
made. Fill with chestnuts, mushrooms, etc., in sauce, and reheat in
the oven after filling.
BATTER FOR FRITTERS
Make as for timbale cases and dip the vegetables or fruit to be fried
in it, and fry until golden brown in hot fat.
