"As I was hurrying away from the slaughter-house, three
beautiful lambs were led in by a man, with a long, shining
knife. Filled with horror and indignation, I said: 'How
can you be so cruel as to put to death those little,
innocent lambs?' 'Why, madam,' said the man, 'you wouldn't
eat them alive, would you?'"

CARAMEL FOR COLOURING
Put 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a small saucepan over a very low
fire, stir with a wooden spoon until melted, and continue to stir
until it is a rich brown; add 2 cups of warm water, and let it simmer
for fifteen or twenty minutes, then skim and strain, and bottle for
use in giving a rich colour to soups and sauces.
Ready-made vegetable extracts of good dark colour can be bought, and
are one of the few things which seem better than the home-made product.
REDUCED VINEGAR
This adds a delicious flavour to many sauces, vegetables, and soups,
and is made by putting vinegar, with a little salt and pepper, in a
saucepan and letting it boil rapidly until reduced, the proportions
being 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 saltspoon of salt, and a pinch of
pepper cooked until reduced to 1 teaspoon of liquid. Strain before
using.
SAUCE BERNAISE
Into 1 tablespoon of reduced vinegar beat slowly the yolks of 4 eggs
to which has been added 2 tablespoons of cold water, and when well
mixed hold in a small saucepan above a slow fire; put in a small bit
of butter, and when melted stir in another, and so continue until 1 1/2
tablespoons have been used. When the sauce is smooth and creamy, season
with salt and pepper or paprika, and add 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon
vinegar, or 1 teaspoon of minced tarragon leaves. The sauce cannot
be served very hot or it will curdle. It may be served cold also.
BLACK BUTTER SAUCE
Put 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan with 1 saltspoon of
salt and a little pepper, and let cook slowly until browned; then
add 1 teaspoon of reduced vinegar or lemon juice, and serve hot.
