+\end{center}
+\indpar
+ Once upon a time there was a little girl named Margaret, and she
+wanted to cook, so she went into the kitchen and tried and tried, but
+she could not understand the cook-books, and she made dreadful messes,
+and spoiled her frocks and burned her fingers till she just had to cry.
+\indpar
+ One day she went to her grandmother and her mother and her Pretty
+Aunt and her Other Aunt, who were all sitting sewing, and asked them to
+tell here about cooking.
+\indpar
+ ``What is a roux,'' she said, ``and what's a mousse and what's an
+entr\'{e}e? What are timbales and saut\'{e}s and ingredients, and how do you
+mix 'em and how long do you bake 'em? Won't somebody please tell me all
+about it?''
+\indpar
+ And her Pretty Aunt said, ``See the flour all over that new frock!''
+and her mother said, ``Dear child, you are not old enough to cook yet;''
+and her grandmother said, ``Just wait a year or two, and I'll teach you
+myself;'' and the Other Aunt said, ``Some day you shall go to
+cooking-school and learn everything; you know little girls can't cook.''
+\indpar
+ But Margaret said, ``I don't want to wait till I'm big; I want to
+cook now; and I don't want to do cooking-school cooking, but little girl
+cooking, all by myself.''
+\indpar
+ So she kept on trying to learn, $\!$but she burned her fingers and
+spoiled her dresses worse than ever, and her messes were so bad they had
+to be thrown out, every one of them; and she cried and cried. And then
+one day her grandmother said, ``It's a shame that child should not learn
+to cook if she really wants to so much;'' and her mother said ``Yes, it is
+a shame, and she shall learn! Let's get her a small table and some tins
+and aprons, and make a little cook-book all her own out of the old ones
+we wrote for ourselves long ago,---just the plain, easy things anybody
+can make.'' And both her aunts said, ``Do! We will help, and perhaps we
+might put in just a few cooking-school things beside.''
+\indpar
+ It was not long after this that Margaret had a birthday, and she was
+taken to the kitchen to get her presents, which she thought the funniest
+thing in the world. There they all were, in the middle of the room:
+first her father's present, a little table with a white oilcloth cover
+and casters, which would push right under the big table when it was not
+being used. Over a chair her grandmother's present, three nice gingham
+aprons, with sleeves and ruffled bibs. On the little table the presents
+of the aunties, shiny new tins and saucepans, and cups to measure with,
+and spoons, and a toasting-fork, and ever so many things; and then on
+one corner of the table, all by itself, was her mother's present, her
+own little cook-book, with her own name on it, and that was best of all.
+\indpar
+ When Margaret had looked at everything, she set out in a row the big
+bowl and the middle-sized bowl and the little wee bowl, and put the
+scalloped patty-pans around them, and the real egg-beater in front of
+all, just like a picture, and then she read a page in her cook-book, and
+began to believe it was all true. So she danced for joy, and put on a
+gingham apron and began to cook that very minute, and before another
+birthday she had cooked every single thing in the book.
+\indpar
+ This is Margaret's cook-book.

+\begin{FoodTypeTitle}
+CEREALS\label{CEREALS}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\ingredient \mit 1 quart of boiling water.
+\ingredient \mit 4 tablespoonfuls of cereal.
+\ingredient \mit 1 teaspoonful of salt.
+\indpar
+ When you are to use a cereal made of oats or wheat, always begin to cook it
+the night before, even if it says on the package that it is not necessary. Put
+a quart of boiling water in the outside of the double boiler, and another quart
+in the inside, and in this last mix the salt and cereal. Put the boiler on the
+back of the kitchen range, where it will be hardly cook at all, and let it
+stand all night. If the fire is to go out, put it on so that it will cook for
+two hours first. In the morning, if the water in the outside of the boiler
+is cold, fill it up hot, and boil hard for an hour without stirring the
+cereal. Then turn it out in a hot dish, and send it to the table with a
+pitcher of cream.
+\indpar
+ The rather soft, smooth cereals, such as farina and cream of rice, are to be
+measured in just the same way, but they need not be cooked overnight; only
+put on in a double boil\-er in the morning for an hour. Margaret's\linebreak mother was
+very particular to have all cereals cooked a long time, because they are
+difficult to digest if they are only partly cooked, even though they look
+and taste as though they were done.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Corn-meal Mush\label{cornmeal_mush}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 quart of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoon of salt.
+\ingredient 4 tablespoons of corn-meal.
+\instruction
+ Be sure the water is boiling very hard when you are ready; then put in the
+salt, and pour slowly from your hand the corn-meal, stirring all the time
+till there is not one lump. Boil this half an hour, and serve with cream.
+Some like a handful of nice plump raisins stirred in, too. It is better to
+use yellow corn-meal in winter and white in summer.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Fried Corn-meal Mush\label{fried_cornmeal_mush}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Make the corn-meal mush the day before you need it, and when it has cooked
+half an hour put it in a bread-tin and smooth it over; stand away overnight
+to harden. In the morning turn it out and slice it in pieces half an inch
+thick. Put two tablespoons of lard or nice drippings in the frying-pan,
+and make it very hot. Dip each piece of mush into a pan of flour, and
+shake off all except a coating of this. Put the pieces, a few at a time,
+into the hot fat, and cook till they are brown; have ready a heavy brown
+paper on a flat dish in the oven, and as you take out the mush lay it on
+this, so that the paper will absorb the grease. When all are cooked put
+the pieces on a hot platter, and have a pitcher of maple syrup ready to
+send to the table with them.
+\indpar
+ Another way to cook corn-meal mush is to have a kettle of hot fat ready,
+and after flouring the pieces drop them into the fat and cook like
+doughnuts. The pieces have to be rather smaller to cook in this way
+than in the other.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Boiled Rice\label{boiled_rice}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of rice.
+\ingredient 2 cups of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of salt.
+\instruction
+ Pick the rice over, taking out all the bits of brown husk; fill the
+outside of the double boiler with hot water, and put in the rice, salt,
+and water, and cook forty minutes, but do not stir it. Then take off the
+cover from the boiler, and very gently, without stirring, turn over the
+rice with a fork; put the dish in the oven without the cover, and let it
+stand and dry for ten minutes. Then turn it from the boiler into a hot
+dish, and cover. Have cream to eat on it. If any rice is left over from
+breakfast, use it the next morning as---
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Fried Rice\label{fried_rice}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Press it into a pan, just as you did the mush, and let it stand
+overnight; the next morning slice it, dip it in flour, and fry, either
+in the pan or in the deep fat in the kettle, just as you did the mush.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Farina Croquettes\label{farina_croquettes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ When farina has been left from breakfast, take it while still warm
+and beat into a pint of it the beaten yolks of two eggs. Let it then
+get cold, and at luncheon-time make it into round balls; dip each one
+first into the beaten yolk of an egg mixed with a tablespoonful of cold
+water, and then into smooth, sifted bread-crumbs; have ready a kettle
+of very hot fat, and drop in three at a time, or, if you have a wire
+basket, put three in this and sink into the fat till they are brown.
+Serve in a pyramid, on a napkin, and pass scraped maple sugar with them.
+\indpar
+ Margaret's mother used to have no cereal at breakfast sometimes, and
+have these croquettes as a last course instead, and every one liked them
+very much.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Rice Croquettes\label{rice_croquettes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of milk.
+\ingredient Yolk of one egg.
+\ingredient \OneQuarter cup of rice.
+\ingredient 1 large tablespoonful of powdered sugar.
+\ingredient Small half-teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of raisins and currants, mixed.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of vanilla.
+\instruction
+ Wash the rice and put in a double boiler with the milk, salt and
+sugar and cook till very thick; beat the yolks of the eggs and stir into
+the rice, and beat till smooth. Sprinkle the washed raisins and currants
+with flour, and roll them in it and mix these in, and last the vanilla.
+Turn out on a platter, and let all get very cold. Then make into
+pyramids, dip in the yolk of an egg mixed with a tablespoonful of water,
+and then into sifted bread-crumbs, and fry in a deep kettle of boiling
+fat, using a wire basket. As you take these from the fat, put them on
+paper in the oven with the door open. When all are done, put them on a
+hot platter and sift powdered sugar over them, and put a bit of red
+jelly on top of each. This is a nice dessert for luncheon. All white
+cereals may be made into croquettes; if they are for breakfast, do not
+sweeten them, but for luncheon use the rule just given, with or without
+raisins and currants.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Hominy\label{hominy}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Cook this just as you did the rice, drying it in the oven; serve one
+morning plain, as cereal, with cream, and then next morning fried, with
+maple syrup, after the rest of the meal. Fried hominy is always nice
+to put around a dish of fried chicken or roast game, and it looks
+especially well if, instead of being sliced, it is cut out into fancy
+shapes with a cooky-cutter.
+\indpar
+ After Margaret had learned to cook all kinds of cereals, she went on
+to the next thing in her cook-book.

+\begin{FoodTypeTitle}
+EGGS\label{EGGS}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\vspace*{-3.0ex}
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Soft Boiled\label{soft_boiled_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Put six eggs in a baking-dish and cover them with boiling water; put
+a cover on and let them stand where they will keep hot, but not cook,
+for ten minutes, or, if the family likes them well done, twelve minutes.
+They will be perfectly cooked,\ \ but not tough,\ \ soft and creamy all the
+way through.
+\instruction
+ Another way to cook them is this:
+\instruction
+ Put the eggs in a kettle of cold water on the stove, and the moment
+the water boils take them up, and they will be just done. An easy way
+to take them up all at once is to put them in a wire basket, and sink
+this under the water. A good way to serve boiled eggs is to crumple
+up a fresh napkin in a deep dish, which has been made very hot, and lay
+the eggs in the folds of the napkin; this prevents their breaking, and
+keeps them warm.\pagebreak[2]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Poached Eggs\label{poached_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take a pan which is not more than three inches deep, and put in as
+many muffin-rings as you wish to cook eggs. Pour in boiling water till
+the rings are half covered, and scatter half a teaspoonful of salt in
+the water. Let it boil up once, and then draw the pan to the edge of
+the stove, where the water will not boil again. Take a cup, break one
+egg in it, and gently slide this into a ring, and so on till all are
+full. While they are cooking, take some toast and cut it into round
+pieces with the biscuit cutter; wet these a very little with boiling
+water, and butter them. When the eggs have cooked twelve minutes,
+take a cake-turner and slip it under one egg with its ring, and lift
+the two together on to a piece of toast, and then take off the ring;
+and so on with all the eggs. Shake a very little salt and pepper
+over the dish, and put parsley around the edge. Sometimes a little
+chopped parsley is nice to put over the eggs, too.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Poached Eggs with Potted Ham\label{poached_eggs_with_potted_ham}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Make the rounds of toast and poach the eggs as before. Make a white
+sauce in this way: melt a tablespoonful of butter, and when it bubbles
+put in a tablespoonful of flour; shake well, and add a cup of hot milk
+and a small half-teaspoonful of salt; cook till smooth. Moisten each
+round of toast with a very little boiling water, and spread with some
+of the potted ham which comes in little tin cans; lay a poached egg on
+each round, and put a teaspoonful of white sauce on each egg.
+\instruction
+ If you have no potted ham in the house, but have plain boiled ham,
+put this through the meat-chopper till you have half a cupful, put in
+a heaping teaspoonful of the sauce, a saltspoonful of dry mustard,
+and a pinch of red pepper, and it will do just as well.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scrambled Eggs\label{scrambled_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 4 eggs.
+\ingredient 2 tablespoonfuls of milk.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\instruction
+ Put the eggs in a bowl and stir till they are well mixed; add the
+milk and salt. Make the frying-pan very hot, and put a tablespoonful
+of butter in it; when it melts, shake it well from side to side, till
+all the bottom of the pan is covered. Put in the eggs and stir them,
+scraping them off the bottom of the pan until they begin to get a
+little firm; then draw the pan to the edge of the stove, and scrape up
+from the bottom all the time till the whole looks alike, creamy and
+firm, but not hard. Put them in a hot, covered dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scrambled Eggs with Parsley\label{scrambled_eggs_with_parsley}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Chop enough parsley to make a teaspoonful, and mince half as much
+onion. Put the onion in the butter when you heat the pan, and cook
+the eggs in it; when you are nearly ready to take the eggs off the fire,
+put in the parsley.
+\indpar\ \indpar
+ After Margaret had learned to make these perfectly, she began to mix
+other things with the eggs.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scrambled Eggs with Tomato\label{scrambled_eggs_with_tomato}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ When Margaret found a cupful of tomato in the refrigerator, she would
+take that, add a half-teaspoonful of salt, two shakes of pepper, and a
+teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and simmer it all on the fire for
+five minutes; then she would cook half a teaspoonful of minced onion
+in the butter in the hot frying-pan as before, and turn in the eggs,
+and when they were beginning to grow firm, put in the tomato. In
+summer-time she often cut up two fresh tomatoes and stewed them down
+to a cupful, instead of using the canned.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scrambled Eggs with Chicken\label{scrambled_eggs_with_chicken}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Chop fine a cup of cold chicken, or any light-colored meat, and heat
+it with a tablespoonful of water, a half-teaspoonful of salt, two shakes
+of pepper, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Cook a half-teaspoonful
+of minced onion in the butter you put in the hot frying-pan, and turn
+in the eggs, and when they set mix in the chicken.
+\instruction
+ Sometimes Margaret used both the tomato filling and the chicken in the
+eggs, when she wanted to make a large dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Eggs\label{creamed_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Cook six eggs twenty minutes, and while they are on the fire make a
+cup of white sauce, as before: one tablespoonful of butter, melted,
+one of flour, one cup of hot milk, a little salt; cook till smooth.
+Peel the eggs and cut the whites into pieces as large as the tip of your
+finger, and put the yolks through the potato-ricer. Mix the eggs white
+with the sauce, and put in a hot dish, with the yellow yolks over the
+top. Or, put the whites on pieces of toast, which you have dipped in
+part of the white sauce, and put the yolks on top, and serve on a small
+platter.
+\instruction
+ Another nice way to cream eggs is this: Cook them till hard, and cut
+them all up into bits. Make the white sauce, and into it stir the
+beaten yolk of one egg, just after taking it from the fire. Mix the
+eggs with this, and put in a hot dish or on toast. You can sprinkle
+grated cheese over this sometimes, for a change.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Eggs in Baking-Dishes\label{creamed_eggs_in_baking_dishes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Cut six hard-boiled eggs up into bits, mix with a cup of white sauce,
+and put in small baking-dishes which you have buttered. Cover over
+with fine, sifted bread-crumbs, and dot with bits of butter, about
+four to each dish, and brown in the oven. Stick a bit of parsley in
+the top of each, and put each dish on a plate, to serve.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Birds' Nests\label{birds_nests}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Sometimes when she wanted something very pretty for breakfast,
+Margaret used this rule:
+\instruction
+ Open six eggs, putting the whites together in one large bowl, and
+the yolks in six cups on the kitchen table. Beat the whites till they
+are stiff, putting in half a teaspoonful of salt just at the last.
+Divide the whites, putting them into six patty-pans, or small
+baking-dishes. Make a little hole or nest in the middle of each,
+and slip one yolk carefully from the cup into the place. Sprinkle a
+little salt and pepper over them, and put a bit of butter on top,
+and put the dishes into a pan and set in the oven till the egg-whites
+are a little brown.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Omelette\label{omelette}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Making an omelette seems rather a difficult thing for a little girl,
+but Margaret made hers in a very easy way. Her rule said:
+\instruction
+ Break four eggs separately. Beat the whites till they are stiff,
+and then wash and wipe dry the egg-beater, and beat the yolks till they
+foam, and then put in half a teaspoonful of salt. Pour the yolks over
+the whites, and mix gently with a large spoon. Have a cake-griddle
+hot, with a piece of butter melted on it and spread over the whole
+surface; pour the eggs on and let them cook for a moment. The take
+a cake-turner and slip under an edge, and look to see if the middle is
+getting brown, because the color comes there first. When it is a nice
+even color, slip the turner well under, and turn the omelette half
+over, covering one part with the other, and then slip the whole off
+on a hot platter. Bridget had to show Margaret how to manage this
+the first time, but after that she could do it alone.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Spanish Omelette\label{spanish_omelette}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of cooked tomato.
+\ingredient 1 green pepper.
+\ingredient 1 slice of onion.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction
+ Cut the green pepper in half and take out all the seeds; mix with
+the tomato, and cook all together with the seasoning for five minutes.
+Make an omelette by the last rule while the tomato is cooking, and
+when it is done, just before you fold it over, put in the tomato.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Omelette with Mushrooms\label{omelette_with_mushrooms}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take a can of mushrooms and slice half of them into thin pieces.
+Make a cup of very rich white sauce, using cream instead of milk,
+and cook the mushrooms in it for one minute. Make the omelette as

+brown on the outside and white inside. These Margaret buttered,
+and put one egg in each, sprinkling with salt, pepper, and butter,
+with a little parsley. She put the dishes in the oven till the eggs
+were firm, and served them in the small dishes, one on each plate.

+Eggs with Cheese\label{eggs_with_cheese}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 eggs.
+\ingredient 2 heaping tablespoonfuls Parmesan cheese.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient Pinch of red pepper.
+\instruction
+ Beat the eggs without separating till light and foamy, and then
+add the cheese, salt, and pepper. Put a tablespoonful of butter in
+the frying-pan, and when it is hot put in the eggs, and stir till
+smooth and firm. Serve on small pieces of buttered toast.
+\instruction
+ Parmesan cheese is very nice to use in cooking; it comes in bottles,
+all ready grated to use.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Eggs with Bacon\label{eggs_with_bacon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take some bacon and put in a hot frying-pan, and cook till it crisps.
+Then lift it out on a hot dish and put in the oven. Break six eggs
+in separate cups, and slide them carefully into the fat left in the
+pan, and let them cook till they are rather firm and the bottom is
+brown. Then take a cake-turner and take them out carefully, and put
+in the middle of the dish, and arrange the bacon all around, with
+parsley on the edge.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Ham and Eggs, Moulded\label{moulded_ham_and_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take small, deep tins, such as are used for timbales, and butter
+them. Make one cup of white sauce; take a cup of cold boiled ham
+which has been put through the meat-chopper, and mix with a
+tablespoonful of white sauce and one egg, slightly beaten. Press
+this like a lining into the tins, and then gently drop a raw egg
+in the centre of each. Stand them in a pan of boiling water in the
+oven till the eggs are firm,---about ten minutes,---and turn
+out on a round platter. Put around them the rest of the white sauce.
+You can stand the little moulds on circles of toast if you wish.
+This rule was given Margaret by her Pretty Aunt, who got it at
+cooking-school; it sounded harder than it really was, and after
+trying it once Margaret often used it.

+FISH\label{FISH}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\indpar
+ One day some small, cunning little fish came home from market,
+and Margaret felt sure they must be meant for her to cook. They
+were called smelts, and, on looking, she found a rule for cooking
+them, just as she had expected.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Fried Smelts\label{fried_smelts}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Put a deep kettle on the fire, with two cups of lard in it, to
+get it very hot. Wipe each smelt inside and out with a clean wet
+cloth, and then with a dry one. Have a saucer of flour mixed
+with a teaspoonful of salt, and another saucer of milk. Put the
+tail of each smelt through its gills---that is, the opening near
+its mouth. Then roll the smelts first in milk and then in flour,
+and shake off any lumps. Throw a bit of bread into the fat in the
+kettle, and see if it turns brown quickly; it does if the fat is
+hot enough, but if not you must wait. Put four smelts in the wire
+basket, and stand it in the fat, so that the fish are entirely
+covered, for only half a minute, or till you can count thirty.
+As you take them out of the kettle, lay them on heavy brown paper
+on a pan in the oven, to drain and keep hot, and leave the door
+open till all are done. Lay a folded napkin on a long, narrow
+platter, and arrange the fishes in two rows, with slices of lemon
+and parsley on the sides.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Fish-balls\label{fish_balls}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ One morning there was quite a good deal of cold mashed potato
+in the ice-box, so Margaret decided to have fish-balls for
+breakfast. Her rule said: Take a box of prepared codfish and
+put it in a colander and pour a quart of boiling water through
+it, stirring it as you do so. Let it drain while you heat two
+cups of mashed potato in a double boiler, with half a cup of hot
+milk, beating and stirring till it is smooth. Squeeze the water
+from the codfish and mix with the potato. Beat one egg without
+separating it, and put this in, too, with a very little pepper,
+and beat it all well. Turn it out on a floured board, and make
+into small balls, rolling each one in flour as it is done, and
+brushing off most of the flour afterward. Have ready a kettle of
+hot lard, just as for smelts, and drop in three or four of the
+balls at one time, and cook till light brown. Lift them out on
+a paper in the oven, and let them keep hot while you cook the
+rest. Serve with parsley on a hot platter.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Codfish\label{creamed_codfish}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Pour boiling water over a package of prepared codfish in the
+colander and drain it. Heat a frying-pan, and, while you are
+waiting, beat the yolk of an egg. Squeeze the water from the
+fish. Put one tablespoonful of butter in a hot pan, and when it
+bubbles put in two tablespoonfuls of flour, and stir and rub till
+all is smooth. Pour in slowly a pint of hot milk, and mix well,
+rubbing in the flour and butter till there is not a single lump.
+Then stir in the fish with a little pepper, and when it boils
+put in the egg. Stir it all up once, and it is done. Put in a
+hot covered dish, or on slices of buttered toast.

+Salt Mackerel\label{salt_mackerel}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This\, was\, a\, dish Margaret's grandmother liked so much that they
+had\, it every little while, even though it was old-fashioned.
+\instruction
+ Put the mackerel into a large pan of cold water with the skin
+up, and soak it all one afternoon and night, changing the water
+four times. In the morning put it in a pan on the fire with enough
+water to cover it, and drop in a slice of onion, minced fine, a
+teaspoonful of vinegar, and a sprig of parsley. Simmer it twenty
+minutes,---that is, let it just bubble slowly,---and while it
+is cooking make a cup of white sauce as before: one tablespoonful
+of butter, melted, one tablespoonful of flour, one cup of hot milk,
+a little salt. Cook till smooth. Take up the fish and pour off
+all the water; place it on a hot platter and pour the sauce over it.

+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Corned Beef Hash\label{corned_beef_hash}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of chopped corned beef.
+\ingredient 1 pint of cold boiled potatoes.
+\ingredient 1 cup of clear soup, or one cup of cold water.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of finely minced onion.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction
+ Mix all together. Have a hot frying-pan, and in it put a
+tablespoonful of butter or nice fat, and when it bubbles shake it
+all around the pan. Put in the hash and cook it till dry, stirring
+it often and scraping it from the bottom of the pan. When none of
+the soup or water runs out when you lift a spoonful, and when it
+seems steaming hot, you can send it to the table in a hot dish,
+with parsley around it. Or you can let it cook without stirring
+till there is a nice brown crust on the bottom, when you can
+double it over as you would an omelette. Or you can make a pyramid
+of the hash in the middle of a round platter, and put poached eggs
+in a circle around it.
+\instruction
+ Many people like one small cold boiled beet cut up fine in corned
+beef hash, and sometimes for a change you can put this in before
+you put it in the frying-pan.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Broiled Bacon\label{broiled_bacon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Margaret's mother believed there was only one very nice way to
+cook bacon. It was like this: Slice the bacon very, very thin,
+and cut off the rind. Put the slices close together in a wire
+broiler, and lay this over a shallow pan in a very hot oven for
+about three minutes. If it is brown on top, then you can turn the
+broiler over, but if not, wait a moment longer. When both sides
+are toasted, lay it on a hot platter and put sprigs of parsley
+around. This is much nicer than bacon cooked in the frying-pan
+or over coals, for it is neither greasy nor smoky, but pink
+and light brown, and crisp and delicious, and good for sick people
+and little children and everybody.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Broiled Chops\label{broiled_chops}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Wipe off the chops with a clean wet cloth and trim off the edges;
+if very fat cut rather close to the meat. Rub the wire broiler
+with some of the fat, so that the chops will not stick. Lay in
+the chops and put over a clear, red fire without flame, and toast
+one side first and then the other; do this till they are brown.
+Lay on a hot platter, and dust both sides with salt and a tiny bit
+of pepper. Put bits of lemon and parsley around, and send to the
+table hot.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Panned Chops\label{panned_chops}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction If the fire is not clear so that you cannot broil the chops, you
+must pan them. Take a frying-pan and make it very hot indeed; then
+lay in the chops, which you have wiped and trimmed, and cook one
+side very quickly, and then the other, and after that let them cook
+more slowly. When they are done,---you can tell by picking open
+a little place in one with a fork and looking on the inside,---
+put them on a platter as before, with pepper and salt. If they
+are at all greasy, put on brown paper in the oven first, to drain,
+leaving the door of the oven open. Be careful not to let them
+get cold.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Liver and Bacon\label{liver_and_bacon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Buy half a pound of calf's liver and half a pound of bacon. Cut
+the liver in thin slices and pour boiling water over it, and then
+wipe each slice dry. Slice the bacon very thin and cut off the
+rind; put this in a hot frying-pan and cook very quickly, turning
+it once or twice. Just as soon as it is brown take it out and lay
+it on brown paper in the oven in a pan. Take a saucer of flour and
+mix in it a teaspoonful of salt and a very little pepper; dip the
+slices of liver in this, one at a time, and shake them free of lumps.
+Lay them in the hot fat of the bacon in the pan and fry till brown.
+Have a hot platter ready, and lay the slices of liver in a nice
+row on it, and then put one slice of bacon on each slice of liver.
+Put parsley all around, and sometimes use slices of lemon, too,
+for a change.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Liver and Bacon on Skewers\label{liver_and_bacon_on_skewers}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Get from the butcher half a dozen small wooden skewers, and
+prepare the liver and bacon as you did for frying, scalding,
+dipping the liver in flour, and taking the rind off the bacon.
+Make three slices of toast, cut into strips, and put in the oven
+to keep hot. Cut up both liver and bacon into pieces the size
+of a fifty-cent piece and put them on the skewers, first one of
+the liver and then one of the bacon, and so on, about six of each.
+Put these in the hot frying-pan and turn them over till they are
+brown. Then lay one skewer on each strip of toast, and put lemon
+and parsley around. You can also put large oysters on the skewers
+with pieces of bacon, and cook in the same way.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Broiled Steak\label{broiled_steak}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ See that the fire is clear and red, without flames. Trim off
+most of the fat from the steak, and rub the wires of the broiler
+with it and heat it over the coals. Then put in the meat and
+turn over and over as it cooks, and be careful not to let it take
+fire. When brown, put it on a hot platter, dust over with salt
+and a very little pepper, and dot it with tiny lumps of butter.
+Put parsley around. Steak ought to be pink inside; not brown
+and not red. Put a fork in as you did with the chops, and twist
+in a little, and you can see when it gets the right color.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Steak with Bananas\label{steak_with_bananas}

+Bananas are very nice with steak.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Frizzled Dried Beef\label{frizzled_dried_beef}
+\end{RecipeTitle}

+ Take half a pound of dried beef, shaved very thin. Chop it fine
+and pull out the strings. Put a large tablespoonful of butter in
+the frying-pan, and when it bubbles put in the meat. Stir till it
+begins to get brown, and then sprinkle in one tablespoonful of flour
+and stir again, and then put in one cup of hot milk. Shake in a
+little pepper, but no salt. As soon as it boils up once, it is
+done, and you can put it in a hot covered dish. If you like a

+using it plain.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Veal Cutlet\label{veal_cutlet}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Wipe off the meat with a clean wet cloth, and then with one that
+is dry. Dust it over with salt, pepper, and flour. Put a tablespoonful
+of nice dripping in a hot frying-pan, and let it heat till it smokes
+a little. Lay in the meat and cook till brown, turning it over twice
+as it cooks. Look in the inside and see if it is brown, for cutlet
+must not be eaten red or pink inside. Put in a hot oven and cover it
+up while you make the gravy, by putting one tablespoonful of flour
+into the hot fat in the pan, stirring it till it is brown. Then
+put in a cup of boiling water, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a
+very little pepper; put this through the wire sieve, pressing it
+with a spoon, and turn over the meat. Put parsley around the cutlet,
+and send hot to the table.

+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Potatoes\label{creamed_potatoes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Cut cold boiled potatoes into pieces as large as the end of your
+finger; put them into a pan on the back of the stove with enough milk
+to cover them, and let them stand till they have drunk up all the
+milk; perhaps they will slowly cook a little as they do this, but
+that will do no harm. In another saucepan or in the frying-pan
+put a tablespoonful of butter, and when it bubbles put in a
+tablespoonful of flour, and stir till they melt together; then
+put in two cups of hot milk, and stir till it is all smooth. Put
+in one teaspoonful of salt, and last the potatoes, but stir them
+only once while they cook, for fear of breaking them. Add one
+teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and put them in a hot covered dish.
+You can make another sort of potatoes when you have finished
+creaming them in this way, by putting a layer of them in a deep
+buttered baking-dish, with a layer of white sauce over the top,
+and break-crumbs and bits of butter for a crust. Brown well in a
+hot oven. When you do this, remember to make the sauce with three

+first.
+\indpar
+ Cut bread that is at least two days old into slices a quarter
+of an inch thick. If you are going to make only a slice or two,
+take the toasting-fork, but if you want a plateful, take the wire
+broiler. Be sure the fire is red, without any flames. Move the
+slices of bread back and forth across the coals, but do not let
+them brown; do both sides this way, and then brown first one and
+then the other afterward. Trim off the edges, butter a little
+quickly, and send to the table hot. Baker's bread makes the

+and cook the other side. When you think it is done, open it a
+little and look to see if it is brown; if not, keep it over the
+coals till it is. Take out the waffle, cut in four pieces, and
+pile on a plate in the oven, while you again grease the iron
+and cook another. Serve very hot and crisp, with maple syrup
+or powdered sugar and thick cream.
+\instruction
+ Some people like honey on their waffles. You might try all
+these things in turn.

+ Last of all the things Margaret learned to make for breakfast
+came coffee, and this she could make in two ways; sometimes she
+made it this\, first way,\, and sometimes\, the other,\, which is called
+French coffee.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Coffee\label{coffee}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ First be sure your coffee-pot is shining clean; look in the
+spout and in all the cracks, and wipe them out carefully, for
+you cannot make good coffee except in a perfectly clean pot.
+Then\, get\, three\, heaping\, tablespoonfuls\, of ground coffee, and
+one tablespoonful of cold water, and one tablespoonful of
+white of egg. Mix the egg with the coffee and water thoroughly,
+and put in the pot. Pour in one quart of boiling water, and
+let it boil up once. Then stir down the grounds which come
+to the top, put in two tablespoonfuls of cold water, and let
+it stand for a minute on the back of the stove, and then strain
+it into the silver pot for the table. This pot must be made
+very hot, by filling it with boiling water and letting it
+stand on the kitchen table while the coffee is boiling. If
+this rule makes coffee stronger than the family like it, take
+less coffee, and if it is not strong enough, take more coffee.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+French Coffee\label{french_coffee}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Get one of the pots which are made so the coffee will drip
+through; put three tablespoonfuls of very finely powdered
+coffee in this, and pour in a quart of boiling water. When
+it is all dripped through, it is ready to put in the hot
+silver pot.

+THE THINGS MARGARET MADE FOR LUNCHEON OR SUPPER\label{PART_II}
+\end{center}
+\newpage
+\thispagestyle{empty}
+\
+\newpage
+\thispagestyle{plain}
+\indpar
+ So many things in this part of Margaret's book call for white
+sauce, or cream sauce, that the rule for that came first of all.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+White or Cream Sauce\label{white_or_cream_sauce}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of flour.
+\ingredient 1 cup hot milk or cream, one-third teaspoonful of salt.
+\instruction
+ Melt the butter, and when it bubbles put in the flour, shaking
+the saucepan as you do so, and rub till smooth. Put in the hot
+milk, a little at a time, and stir and cook without boiling till
+all is smooth and free from lumps. Add the salt, and, if you
+choose, a little pepper.
+\instruction
+ Cream sauce is made exactly as is white sauce, but cream is
+used in place of milk. What is called thick white sauce is made
+by taking two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour, and
+only one cup of milk.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Oysters\label{creamed_oysters}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint oysters.
+\ingredient 1 large cup of cream sauce.
+\instruction
+ Make the sauce of cream if you have it, and if not use a very
+heaping tablespoonful of butter in the white sauce. Keep this hot.
+\instruction
+ Drain off the oyster-juice and wash the oysters by holding them
+under the cold-water faucet. Strain the juice and put the oysters
+back in it, and put them on the fire and let them just simmer
+till the edges of the oysters curl; then drain them from the
+juice again and drop them in the sauce, and add a little more
+salt (celery-salt is nice if you have it), and just a tiny bit
+of cayenne pepper. You can serve the oysters on squares of
+buttered toast, or put them in a large dish, with sifted
+bread-crumbs over the top and tiny bits of butter, and brown
+in the oven. Or you can put them in small dishes as they are,
+and put a sprig of parsley in each dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Panned Oysters\label{panned_oysters}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take the oysters from their juice, strain it, wash the oysters,
+and put them back in. Put them in a saucepan with a little
+salt,---about half a teaspoonful to a pint of oysters,---and
+a little pepper, and a piece of butter as large as the end
+of your thumb. Let them simmer till the edges curl, just as
+before, and put them on squares of hot buttered toast.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scalloped Oysters\label{scalloped_oysters}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of oysters.
+\ingredient 12 large crackers, or 1 cup of bread-crumbs.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of milk.
+\ingredient The strained oyster-juice.
+\instruction
+ Butter a deep baking-dish. Roll the crackers, or make the
+bread-crumbs of even size; some people like one better than
+the other, and you can try both ways. Put a layer of crumbs
+in the dish, then a layer of oysters, washed, then a sprinkling
+of salt and pepper and a few bits of butter. Then another
+layer of crumbs, oysters, and seasoning, till the dish is full,
+with crumbs on the top. Mix the milk and oyster-juice and
+pour slowly over. Then cover the top with bits of butter,
+and bake in the oven till brown---about half an hour.
+\instruction
+ You can put these oysters into small dishes, just as you
+did the creamed oysters, or into large scallop-shells, and
+bake them only ten or fifteen minutes. In serving, put a
+small sprig of parsley into each.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Pigs in Blankets\label{oyster_pigs_in_blankets}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ These were great fun to make, and Margaret often begged
+to get them ready for company.
+\ingredient 15 large oysters.
+\ingredient 15 very thin slices of bacon.
+\instruction
+ Sprinkle each oyster with a very little salt and pepper.
+Trim the rind from the bacon and wrap each oyster in one
+slice, pinning this ``blanket'' tightly on the back with a
+tiny Japanese wooden toothpick. Have ready a hot frying-pan,
+and lay in five oysters, and cook till the bacon is brown
+and the edges of the oysters curl, turning each over once.
+Put these on a hot plate in the oven with the door open,
+and cook five more, and so on. Put them on a long, narrow
+platter, with slices of lemon and sprigs of parsley around.
+Or you can put each one on a strip of toast which you have
+dipped in the gravy in the pan; this is the better way.
+This dish must be eaten very hot, or it will not be good.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Fish\label{creamed_fish}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 2 cups of cold fish.
+\ingredient 1 cup of white sauce.
+\instruction
+ Pick any cold fish left from dinner into even bits, taking
+out all the bones and skin, and mix with the hot white sauce.
+$\!$Stir until smooth, and add a small half-teaspoonful of
+chopped parsley.
+\instruction
+ You can put this in a buttered baking-dish and cover the
+top with crumbs and bits of butter, and brown in the oven,
+or you can put it in small dishes and brown also, or you can
+serve it just as is, in little dishes.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Lobster\label{creamed_lobster}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 lobster, or the meat from 1 can.
+\ingredient 1 large cup of white or cream sauce.
+\instruction
+ Take the lobster out of the shell and clean it; Bridget
+will have to show you how the first time. Or, if you are
+using canned lobster, pour away all the juice and pick out
+the bits of shell, and find the black string which is apt
+to be there, and throw it away. Cut the meat in pieces
+as large as the end of your finger, and heat it in the
+sauce till it steams. Put in a small half-teaspoonful of
+salt, a pinch of cayenne, and a squeeze of lemon. Do not
+put this in a large dish, but in small ones, buttered well,
+and serve at once. Stand a little claw up in each dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Salmon\label{creamed_salmon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 can salmon.
+\ingredient 1 cup of white sauce.
+\instruction
+ Prepare this dish exactly as you did the plain creamed
+white fish. Take it out of the can, remove all the juice,
+bones, and fat, and put in the white sauce, and cook a
+moment till smooth. Add a small half-teaspoonful of salt,
+a little pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, and put in a
+baking-dish and brown, or serve as it is, in small dishes.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scalloped Lobster or Salmon\label{scalloped_lobster_or_salmon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 can of fish, or 1 pint.
+\ingredient 1 large cup of cracker or bread crumbs.
+\ingredient 1 large cup of white sauce.
+\instruction
+ Prepare this dish almost as you did the scalloped
+oysters. Take out all the bones and skin and juice
+from the fish; butter a baking-dish, put in a layer of
+fish, then salt and pepper, then a layer of crumbs and
+butter, and a layer of white sauce, then fish, seasoning,
+crumbs and butter again, and have the crumbs on top.
+Dot over with butter and brown in the oven, or serve in
+small dishes.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Crab Meat in Shells\label{crab_meat_in_shells}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ You can buy very nice, fresh crab meat in tins, and the
+shells also. A very delicious dish is made by mixing a cup
+of rich cream sauce with the crab meat, seasoning it well
+with salt and pepper and putting in the crab-shells;
+cover with crumbs, dot with butter, and brown in the oven.
+This is a nice thing to have for a company luncheon.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Chicken or Turkey\label{creamed_chicken_or_turkey}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 2 cups of cold chicken.
+\ingredient 1 large cup of white or creamed sauce.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
+\ingredient Salt and pepper.
+\instruction
+ Pick the chicken or turkey off the bones and cut into
+small bits before you measure it. Heat it in the sauce
+till very hot, but do not let it boil, and add the
+seasoning,---about half a teaspoonful of salt, and a
+tiny bit of cayenne, or as much celery-salt in the place
+of the common kind. Put in a large buttered dish and
+serve, or in small dishes, either with crumbs on top or not.
+\instruction
+ A nice addition to this dish is half a green pepper, the
+seeds taken out, chopped very fine indeed, and mixed with
+the white meat; the contrast of colors is pretty and the
+taste improved.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scalloped Eggs\label{scalloped_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 hard-boiled eggs.
+\ingredient 1 cup cream or white sauce.
+\ingredient 1 cup fine bread-crumbs.
+\ingredient Salt and pepper.
+\instruction
+ Cook the eggs twenty minutes, and while they are
+cooking make the white sauce, and butter one large or
+six small dishes. Peel the eggs and cut them into bits
+as large as the end of your finger. Put a layer of
+bread-crumbs on the bottom of the dish, then a layer of
+egg, then a sprinkling of salt, pepper, and bits of
+butter, then a layer of white sauce. Then more crumbs,
+egg, and seasoning, till the dish is full, with crumbs
+on top. Put bits of butter over all and brown in the oven.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Eggs in Double Cream\label{double_cream_with_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This is a rule Margaret's Pretty Aunt got in Paris,
+and it is a very nice one. Have half a pint of very
+thick cream---the kind you use to whip; the French
+call this double cream. Cook six eggs hard and cut them
+into bits. Butter a baking-dish, or small dishes, and
+put in a layer of egg, then a layer of cream, then a
+sprinkling of salt, and one of paprika, which is sweet
+red pepper. Put one thin layer of fine, sifted crumbs
+on top with butter, and brown in the oven. Or you can
+put the eggs and cream together and heat them, and
+serve on thin pieces of buttered toast, with one extra
+egg put through the ricer over the whole.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Eggs on Toast\label{creamed_eggs_on_toast}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Make small pieces of nice toast and dip each one in
+white sauce. Boil hard four eggs, and cut in even
+slices and cover the toast, and then spread the rest
+of the white sauce over all in a thin layer.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Devilled Eggs\label{devilled_eggs}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 eggs.
+\ingredient 2 saltspoonfuls of dry mustard.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 saltspoonful of cayenne pepper.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of olive-oil or cream.
+\ingredient 1 large tablespoonful of chopped ham.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of vinegar.
+\instruction
+ Boil the eggs hard for twenty minutes, and put them in
+cold water at once to get perfectly cold so they will not
+turn dark. Then peel, cut in halves and take out the yolks.
+Put these in a bowl, and rub in the seasoning, but you
+can leave out the ham if you like. With a small teaspoon,
+put the mixture back into the eggs and smooth them over
+with a knife.
+\instruction
+ If you do not serve these eggs with cold meat it is best
+to lay them on lettuce when you send them to the table.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Eggs in Beds\label{eggs_in_bed}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Chop a cup of nice cold meat, and season with a little
+salt, pepper and chopped parsley. Add enough stock or hot
+water just to wet it, and cook till rather dry. Put this in
+buttered baking-dishes, filling each half-full, and on top
+of each gently slip from a cup one egg. Sprinkle over with
+salt and pepper, and put in the oven till firm.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Shepherd's Pie\label{shepherds_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This was a dish Margaret used to make on wash-day and
+house-cleaning day, and such times when everybody was
+busy and no one wanted to stop and go to market to buy
+anything for luncheon.
+\ingredient 1 cup of chopped meat.
+\ingredient 1 cup of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of lemon juice, or \OneHalf teaspoon\-ful
+Worcestershire sauce.
+\ingredient Butter the size of a hickory-nut.
+\ingredient 2 cups hot mashed potato.
+\instruction
+ If the potato is cold, put half a cup of hot milk in it,
+beat it up well, and stand it on the back of the stove.
+Then mix all the other things with the meat, and put it
+in the frying-pan and let it cook till it seems rather
+dry. Butter a baking-dish, and cover the sides and
+bottom with a layer of potato an inch thick. Put the
+meat in the centre and cover it over with potato and
+smooth it. Put bits of butter all over the top, and
+brown it in the oven. Serve with this a dish of chow-chow,
+or one of small cucumber pickles.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Chicken Hash\label{chicken_hash}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of cold chicken, cut in small, even pieces.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup chicken stock, or hot water.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful chopped parsley.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient A pinch of pepper.
+\ingredient Butter the size of a hickory-nut.
+\instruction
+ Put the chicken stock,---which is the water the
+chicken was cooked in, or chicken broth,---or, if
+there is none, the hot water, into the frying-pan, and
+mix in the chicken and seasoning, and cook and stir till
+it is rather dry. Serve as it is, or on squares of
+buttered toast. You can make any cold meat into hash
+this way, having it different every time. Sometimes you
+can put in the chopped green pepper, as before, or a
+slice of chopped onion, or a cup of hot, seasoned peas;
+or, leave out half the soup or water, and put in a cup
+of stewed tomato.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Broiled Sardines\label{broiled_sardines}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ These little fish are really not broiled at all, but
+that is the name of the nice and easy dish. Take a box
+of large sardines and drain off all the oil, and lay them
+on heavy brown paper while you make four slices of toast.
+Trim off the edges and cut them into strips, laying them
+in a row on a hot platter. Put the sardines into the
+oven and make them very hot, and lay one on each strip
+of toast and sprinkle them with lemon juice, and put
+sliced lemon and sprigs of parsley all around.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cheese Fondu\label{cheese_fondu}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This was a recipe the Pretty Aunt put in Margaret's
+book out of the one she had made at cooking school.
+\ingredient 1 cup fresh bread-crumbs.
+\ingredient 2 cups grated cheese.
+\ingredient 1 cup of milk.
+\ingredient 1 bit of soda as large as a pea.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 pinch of red pepper.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of butter.
+\ingredient 2 eggs.
+\instruction
+ Put the butter in a saucepan to heat while you beat
+the eggs light without separating them; let these stand
+while you stir everything else into the pan, beginning
+with the milk; cook this five minutes, stirring all the
+time, and then put in the eggs and cook three minutes
+more. Put six large crackers on a hot platter and pour
+the whole over them, and send at once to the table to
+be eaten very hot. Sometimes Margaret made three or
+four slices of toast before she began the fondu, and
+used those in place of the crackers, and the dish was
+just as nice.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Easy Welsh Rarebit\label{easy_welsh_rarebit}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 2 cups of rich cheese, grated.
+\ingredient Yolks of two eggs.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of milk.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient Saltspoonful of cayenne.
+\instruction
+ Make three nice slices of toast, cut off the crusts,
+and cut each piece in two. Butter these, and very quickly
+dip each one in boiling water, being careful not to soak
+them. Put these on a hot platter in the oven. Put the
+milk in a saucepan over the fire, being careful not to
+have one that is too hot, only moderate, and when it
+boils up put in the cheese and stir without stopping,
+until the cheese all melts and it looks smooth. Then put
+in the beaten yolks of the eggs and the seasoning, and
+pour at once over the toast and serve very hot. Many
+people like a saltspoonful of dry mustard mixed in with
+the pepper. You can also serve this rarebit on toasted
+and buttered crackers.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Scalloped Cheese\label{scalloped_cheese}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 slices of bread.
+\ingredient \ThreeQuarters of a pound of cheese.
+\ingredient 2 eggs.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient 1 cup of cream.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of dry mustard.
+\ingredient \OneQuarter teaspoonful of paprika.
+\instruction
+ Butter the bread and cut it into strips, and line the
+bottom and sides of a baking-dish with it. Then beat the
+eggs very light without separating them, and mix everything
+with them; put in the dish and bake half an hour, and
+serve at once.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Veal Loaf\label{veal_loaf}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1\OneHalf pounds of veal and
+\ingredient 2 strips of salt pork, chopped together.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of bread-crumbs.
+\ingredient 1 beaten egg.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of grated nutmeg.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of black pepper.
+\ingredient 1\OneHalf teaspoonfuls of salt.
+\instruction
+ Bake three hours.
+\instruction
+ Have the butcher chop the meat all together for you;
+then put everything together in a dish and stir in the egg,
+beaten without separating, and mix very well. Press it
+into a bread-pan and put in the oven for three hours by
+the clock.
+\instruction
+ Every half-hour pour over it a tablespoonful hot water
+and butter mixed; you can put a tablespoonful of butter
+into a cup of water, and keep it on the back of the stove
+ready all the time; after the meat has baked two hours,
+put in a piece of heavy brown paper over the top, and
+keep it there till it is done, or it may get too brown.
+This is to slice cold; it is very nice for a picnic.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Pressed Chicken\label{pressed_chicken}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This was one of the things Margaret liked to make for
+Sunday night supper. Have a good-sized chicken cut up,
+and wipe each piece with a clean, damp cloth. Put them
+in a kettle or deep saucepan and cover with cold water,
+and cook very slowly and gently, covered, till the meat
+falls off the bones. When it begins to grow tender,
+put in a half teaspoonful of salt. Take it out, and cut
+it up in nice, even pieces, and put all the bones back
+into the kettle, and let them cook till there is only
+about a pint and a half of broth. Add a little more
+salt, and a sprinkling of pepper, and strain this through
+a jelly bag. Mix it with the chicken, and put them both
+into a bread tin, and when cold put on ice over night.
+After it has stood for an hour, put a weight on it, to
+make it firm. Slice with a very sharp knife, and put on
+a platter with parsley all around. This is a nice
+luncheon dish for a summer day, as well as a supper dish.
+\medskip
+\instruction
+ When you have bits of cold meat which you cannot slice,
+and yet which you wish to serve in some nice way, make
+this rule, which sounds difficult, but is really very easy:
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Meat Souffl\'{e}\label{meat_souffle}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of white sauce.
+\ingredient 1 cup of chopped meat.
+\ingredient 2 eggs.
+\ingredient Teaspoonful of chopped parsley.
+\ingredient Half a teaspoonful minced onion.
+\instruction
+ Put the parsley and onion in the meat, and mix with
+the white sauce. Beat the yolks of the eggs and stir in,
+and cook one minute, and then cool. Beat the whites of the
+eggs and fold in, and bake half an hour, or a little more,
+in a deep, buttered baking-dish. You must serve this
+immediately, or it will fall.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cold Meats\label{cold_meats}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Of course,\, like\, other\, people,\, Margaret's mother often had
+cold meat for luncheon or supper, and one of the things her
+cook-book told her was how to make it look nice when it
+came on the table.
+\instruction
+ Always trim off all bits of skin and ragged pieces from
+the meat, and remove the cold fat, except on ham, and then
+you must trim it to a rather narrow edge. If you have a
+rather small dish for a large family, put slices of hard
+boiled eggs around the edge, or make devilled eggs, and put
+those around in halves. Sometimes you can cut lettuce in
+very narrow ribbons by holding several leaves in your hand
+at once, folding them lengthwise, and using a pair of
+scissors. Sometimes a dozen pimolas may be sliced across
+and put about the meat, especially if it is cold chicken
+or turkey. Always use parsley with meat, cold or hot.
+Saratoga potatoes make a good border for lamb or roast beef,
+and cold peas mixed with mayonnaise are always delicious
+with either chicken or lamb. If only the dish looks pretty,
+it is almost certain to taste well.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Sliced Meat with Gravy\label{sliced_meat_with_gravy}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+ When there are a few slices left from a roast, put them
+in a frying-pan with some of the gravy left also, and heat;
+serve with parsley around.
+\instruction
+ If there is not gravy, take a little boiling water, add
+a little salt, pepper, a half-teaspoon\-ful of minced
+onion, and as much chopped parsley. Lay in the meat in the
+frying-pan, cover, and let it simmer, turning occasionally.
+A few drops of Kitchen Bouquet will improve this; it is a
+brown sauce which comes in small bottles.
+\medskip
+\indpar
+ Some of the things Margaret made for breakfast she made
+for lunch or supper, too, such as frizzled beef, and
+scalloped eggs and omelettes. She had some vegetables
+besides, such as---
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Baked Tomatoes\label{baked_tomatoes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 large tomatoes.
+\ingredient 1 cup bread-crumbs.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient 1 slice of onion.
+\instruction
+ Put the butter in the frying-pan, and when it bubbles
+put in the bread-crumbs, the salt and onion, with a dusting
+of pepper, and stir till the crumbs are a little brown and
+the onion is all cooked; then take out the onion and throw
+it away. Wipe the tomatoes with a clean wet cloth, and cut
+out the stem and a round hole or little well in the middle;
+fill this with the crumbs, piling them up well on top; put
+them in a baking-dish and stand them in a hot oven; mix a
+cup of hot water with a tablespoonful of butter, and every
+little while take out the baking-dish and wet the tomatoes
+on top. Cook them about half an hour, or till the skins
+get wrinkled all over. Serve them in the dish they are
+cooked in, if you like, or put each one on a small plate,
+pour some of the juice in the baking-dish over it, and
+stick a sprig of parsley in the top.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Stuffed Potatoes\label{stuffed_potatoes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Wash six large potatoes and scrub them with a little brush,
+till they are a nice clean light brown, and bake them for
+half an hour in a hot oven; or, if they are quite large,
+bake them till they are soft and puffy. Cut off one end
+from each and take out the inside with a teaspoon, holding
+the potato in a towel as you do so, for it will be very hot.
+Mix well this potato with two tablespoonfuls of rich milk
+or cream, a half-teaspoonful of salt and just as much
+butter, and put this back into the shells. Stand the
+potatoes side by side in a pan close together, the open
+ends up, till they are browned.

+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\indpar
+ The Other Aunt said Margaret could never, never make
+salads, but her mother said they were the easiest thing
+of all to learn, so she did put them in just the same;
+she bought a tin of olive oil from the Italian grocery,
+because it was better and cheaper than bottled oil, and
+she gave Margaret one important direction, ``When you
+make salads, always have everything very cold,'' and
+after that the rules were easy to follow, and the salads
+were as nice as could be.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}

+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Tomato and Lettuce Salad\label{tomato_and_lettuce_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}

+ Cut up six hard-boiled eggs into quarters, lay them on
+lettuce, and pour the dressing over. Or pass a dish of
+them with cold meat.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Fish Salad\label{fish_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Pick up cold fish and pour the dressing over it, and
+put two sliced hard-boiled eggs around it; a few tips of
+celery, nice white ones, are pretty around the whole.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cauliflower Salad\label{cauliflower_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take cold boiled cauliflower and pick it up into nice
+pieces; pour the dressing over, and put on the ice till
+you need it.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+String Bean Salad\label{string_bean_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Take cold string beans, either the green ones or the
+yellow, pour the dressing over, put on ice, and serve on
+lettuce. Any cold vegetables can be used besides these,
+especially asparagus, while lettuce alone is best of all.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Pineapple Salad\label{pineapple_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Put large bits of picked-up pineapple on white
+lettuce, and pour the dressing over.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Orange or Grapefruit Salad\label{orange_or_grapefruit_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Peel three oranges or one grapefruit, and scrape off
+all the white lining of the skin. Divide it into sections,
+or ``quarters,'' and with the scissors cut off the thin edge;
+turn down the transparent sides and cut these off, too,
+scraping the pulp carefully, so as not to waste it.
+Take out all the seeds; lay the pieces on lettuce, and
+pour the dressing over. White grapes, cut in halves,
+with the seeds taken out, are nice mixed with this, and
+pineapple, grapes, and oranges, with a little banana,
+are delicious.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Mayonnaise\label{mayonnaise}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient Yolk of 1 egg.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of olive-oil.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice or vinegar.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient Pinch of red pepper.
+\instruction
+ Put the yolk of the egg into a very cold bowl; it is
+better to put the bowl, the egg, the oil, and the beater
+all on the ice a half-hour before you need them, for then
+the mayonnaise comes quicker. With a Dover egg-beater beat
+till the yolk is very light indeed; then have some one else
+begin to put in the oil, one drop at a time, till the
+mayonnaise becomes so thick it is difficult to turn the
+beater; then put in a drop or two of lemon or vinegar,
+and this will thin it so you can use the oil again; keep
+on doing this till you have nearly a cup of the dressing;
+if you need more oil than the rule calls for, use it, and
+toward the last add it two or three drops at a time. When
+you have enough, and it is stiff enough, put in the pepper
+and salt and it is done. Never use mustard except with
+lobster, as this will spoil the taste. Some salads,
+especially fruit and vegetable, need very thick mayonnaise,
+and then it is better to make it with lemon juice, while
+a fish salad, or one to use with meats, may be thinner,
+and then the vinegar will do; the lemon juice makes it
+thick. Always taste it before using it, to see if it is
+just right, and, if not, put in more salt, or whatever
+it needs. You will soon learn. Most people think
+mayonnaise is very difficult to make, but, really, it
+is as easy as baking potatoes, after you have once
+learned how. Every salad given before is just as nice
+with mayonnaise as with French dressing, and you can try
+each one both ways; then there are these, which are better
+with mayonnaise.

+slice the rest very fine on the cutter\, you use for\, Saratoga
+potatoes;\, mix with the mayonnaise and put in the salad-dish;
+sprinkle over with celery-seed, when you wish it to be very
+nice, but it will do without this last touch.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cabbage Salad in Green Peppers\label{cabbage_in_green_peppers_salad}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ Wipe green peppers and cut off the small end of each.
+Take out the seed and the stem; fill each pepper with the

+one on a plate on a leaf of lettuce.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}

+\ingredient \OneHalf cup English walnuts.
+\ingredient 12 olives.

+Cut the potatoes and eggs into bits of even size, as large
+as the tip of your finger; stone the olives and cut them up,
+too; mix them together in a bowl, but do not stir them much,
+or you will break the potatoes; sprinkle well with French
+dressing, and put on the ice; when it is lunch or supper
+time, mix quickly, only once, with stiff mayonnaise, and put
+on lettuce; this is a delicious salad to have with cold meats.

+When the water boils very hard, empty out the teapot,
+put in the tea, and put on the boiling water; do not
+stand it on the stove, as too many people do, but send
+it right to the table; it will be ready as soon as it is
+time to pour it---about three minutes. If you are
+making tea for only one person, you will need a
+teaspoonful of tea, as you will see by the rule,
+and two small cups of water will be enough. If for more,

+ Squeeze four lemons, and add ten teaspoonfuls of powdered
+sugar; stir till it dissolves. Add six glasses of water,

+\indpar
+ At first, of course, Margaret could not get dinner all alone;
+indeed, it took her almost a year to learn how to cook everything
+needed,---soup, vegetables, meat, salad, and dessert; but at
+first she helped Bridget, and each day she cooked something.
+Then she began to arrange very easy dinners when Bridget was out,
+such as cream soup, beefsteak or veal cutlet, with potatoes and
+one vegetable, and a plain lettuce salad, with a cold dessert
+made in the morning. The first time she really did every single
+thing alone, Margaret's father gave her a dollar; he said it was
+a ``tip'' for the best dinner he ever ate.

+\begin{FoodTypeTitle}
+SOUPS\label{SOUPS}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\indpar
+ The soups in the little cook-book began with those made of
+milk and vegetables, because they were so easy to make, and,
+when one was learned, all were made in the same way. First
+there was---\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+The General Rule\label{general_rule_cream_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of fresh vegetable, cut up in small pieces, or one can.
+\ingredient 1 pint of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 pint of hot milk.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of flour.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction
+ After the vegetable is washed and cut in very small pieces,
+put it in the pint of water and cook it for twenty minutes.
+Or, if you use a canned vegetable, cook it ten minutes.
+While it is cooking, make the rule for white sauce as before:
+Melt one tablespoonful of butter, and when it bubbles put in
+one tablespoonful of flour, with the salt and pepper; shake
+well, and rub till smooth and thick with the hot milk. Take
+the vegetable from the fire and press it through the wire
+sieve, letting the water go through, too; mix with the sauce
+and strain again, and it is done.
+\instruction
+ Almost all soups are better for one very thin slice of
+onion cooked with the vegetable. When you want a cream soup
+very nice indeed, whip a cup of cream and put in the hot
+soup-tureen, and pour the soup in on it, beating it a little,
+till it is all foamy.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Corn\label{cream_of_corn}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of fresh grated corn, or one can.
+\ingredient 1 pint of water.
+\ingredient 1 pint of hot milk.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of flour.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful of butter.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\ingredient 1 thin slice of onion.
+\instruction
+ Cook the corn with the water; make the white sauce with the
+milk; strain the corn and water through the sieve, pressing
+well, and add the milk and strain again.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Green Peas\label{cream_of_green_peas}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of peas, or one can.
+\ingredient Milk, water, and seasoning, as before; mix by the general
+rule.
+\instruction
+ In winter-time you can make a nice soup by taking dried
+peas, soaking them overnight, and using them as you would
+fresh.
+\instruction
+ All pea soup should have dropped in it just before serving
+what are called croutons; that is, small, even cubes of bread
+toasted to a nice brown in the oven, or put in a frying-pan
+with a tiny bit of butter, and browned.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Lima Beans\label{cream_of_lima_beans}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint of fresh or canned beans, or those which have
+been soaked.
+\instruction
+ Use milk, water, thickening, and seasoning as before.
+Add a slice of onion, as these beans have little taste,
+and beat the yolk of an egg and stir in quickly, after
+you have taken the soup from the fire, just before you
+strain it for the second time.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Potato\label{cream_of_potato}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This is one of the best and most delicate soups.
+\ingredient 5 freshly boiled potatoes.
+\ingredient 1 slice of onion.
+\ingredient 1 quart of hot milk.
+\ingredient 1 small teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful chopped parsley.
+\instruction
+ This soup has no water in it, because that which has had
+potatoes boiled in it is always spoiled for anything else
+and must always be thrown away. This is why you must take
+a quart of milk instead of a pint. There is no thickening
+in the soup, because the potatoes will thicken it themselves.
+Put the parsley in at the very last, after the soup is
+in the tureen.
+\instruction
+ The yolk of an egg beaten and put in before the second
+straining is nice sometimes in this soup, but not necessary.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Almonds\label{cream_of_almonds}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction
+ This was what Margaret called a Dinner-party Soup, because
+it seemed almost too good for every day, but, as her mother
+explained, almonds cost no more than canned tomatoes or peas,
+and the family can have the soup as well as guests, provided
+one has plenty of cream.
+\ingredient 1 cup of chopped almonds.
+\ingredient 1 quart of thin cream.
+\ingredient Small half-teaspoonful of salt.
+\instruction
+ Get ten cents' worth of Jordan almonds, and put them in
+boiling water for one minute; then pour off the water and
+put on cold, till they are well chilled. Turn this off,
+and push the almonds out of their skins, one by one. If
+they stick, it is because they were not in the hot water
+long enough, and you must put them back into it, and then
+into the cold. Chop them while the cream heats in the
+double boiler, and then put them in with the salt, and
+simmer ten minutes and then strain.
+\instruction
+ This soup is especially delicious if whipped cream is
+either mixed with it at the end, or served on top.
+\instruction
+ You can also make good almond soup by using the regular
+rule; cooking the chopped nuts in a pint of water, adding
+the thickened pint of milk and seasoning, and straining
+twice. Then, after it is in the tureen, you must put in
+the egg-beater and whip well, to make it light.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Spinach\label{cream_of_spinach}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint cold cooked spinach.
+\ingredient 1 quart of milk.
+\instruction
+ Heat the spinach, using a little of the quart of milk
+with it, and press through the sieve; thicken the rest of
+the milk, and the seasoning, and strain again. It is better
+to use cayenne pepper instead of black with spinach.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Tomato Soup, Called Tomato Bisque\label{cream_of_tomato_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 4 large tomatoes, cut up, or \OneHalf can, with \OneHalf cup of water.
+\ingredient 2 slices of onion.
+\ingredient 2 sprigs of parsley.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful of sugar.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient \OneQuarter teaspoonful soda.
+\ingredient 1 quart of milk.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful butter.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful flour.
+\instruction
+ Cook the tomatoes with the onion, parsley, sugar, and
+salt for twenty minutes. Mix in the soda and stir well;
+the soda prevents the milk from curdling. Make the milk
+and flour and butter into white sauce as usual; strain the
+tomato, mix the two, and strain again.
+\instruction
+ Sometimes add a stalk of celery to the other seasoning
+as it cooks.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream of Clams\label{cream_of_clams}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 dozen hard clams, or one bunch of soft ones.
+\ingredient 1 quart of rich milk.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful butter.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful flour.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction
+ Chop the clams and drain off the juice and add as much
+water; cook till the scum rises, and skim this off. Drop
+in the clams and cook three minutes. Heat the milk and
+thicken as usual; put in the clams and juice, cook for
+one minute, and strain.
+\instruction
+ Notice that there is no salt in this soup. A cup of
+cream, whipped, either put on top or stirred in, is
+very nice.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Oyster Soup\label{oyster_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint oysters.
+\ingredient \OneHalf pint water.
+\ingredient 1 quart rich milk.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful salt.
+\instruction
+ Drain off the oyster juice, add the water, boil it for
+one minute, and skim it well. Heat the milk and mix it
+with this; drop in the oysters and cook one minute, or till
+the edges begin to curl, and it is done. This soup is
+not thickened at all; but if you like you may add two
+tablespoonfuls of finely powdered and sifted cracker-crumbs.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Meat Soup or Bouillon Made from Extract\label{meat_soup_made_from_extract}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\indpar
+ This Margaret made from beef extract, before she learned
+to use the fresh beef.
+\ingredient 2 teaspoonfuls of extract, or 2 capsules.
+\ingredient 1 quart of boiling water.
+\ingredient \OneHalf an onion, sliced.
+\ingredient 1 stalk of celery.
+\ingredient \OneHalf teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient 2 shakes of pepper.
+\ingredient 2 sprays of parsley.
+\instruction
+ Simmer this for twenty minutes, strain, and pour over
+six thin slices of lemon, one for each plate. Serve with
+hot crackers.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream Bouillon\label{cream_bouillon}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+ Make this same soup, and pour it over a half-pint of
+thick cream, well whipped. Do not put any lemon in it.
+Serve with hot crackers.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Meat Soups\label{meat_soups}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction You can make meat soup, or stock, out of almost any
+kind of meat, cooked or raw, with bones or without.
+Many cooks never buy fresh meat for it, and others think
+they must always have it. It is best to learn both ways.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Plain Meat Soup\label{plain_meat_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 shin of beef.
+\ingredient 5 quarts of water.
+\ingredient 1 small tablespoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 1 head celery, cut up.
+\ingredient 1 onion.
+\ingredient 1 carrot.
+\ingredient 1 turnip.
+\ingredient 1 sprig of parsley.
+\ingredient 2 bay-leaves.
+\ingredient 6 whole cloves.
+\instruction Wipe the meat and cut off all the bone. Put the bone in a
+clean kettle first, and then the meat on top, and pour in the
+water; cover, and let this stand on the back of the stove an hour,
+then draw it forward and let it cook. This will bring scum on
+the water in half an hour, and you must carefully pour in a
+cup of cold water and skim off everything which rises to the top.
+Cover the kettle tightly, and cook very slowly indeed for four
+hours; then put in the cut up vegetables and cook one hour more,
+always just simmering, not boiling hard. Then it is done, and
+you can put in the salt, and strain the soup first through a
+heavy wire sieve, and then through a flannel bag, and set it
+away to get cold, and you will have a strong, clear, delicious
+stock, which you can put many things in to have variety.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Clear Vegetable Soup\label{clear_vegetable_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Slice one carrot, turnip, and one potato, and cut them either
+into small, even strips, or into tiny cubes, or take a vegetable
+cutter and cut out fancy shapes. Simmer them about twenty
+minutes. Meanwhile, take a pint of soup stock and a cup of
+water and heat them. Sprinkle a little salt over the vegetables
+and drain them; put them in the soup-tureen and pour the hot
+soup over.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Split Pea Soup\label{split_pea_soup}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 pint split peas.
+\ingredient 1\OneHalf quarts of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 quart of soup stock.
+\ingredient 1 small teaspoonful of salt.
+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction Wash the peas in cold water and throw away those which float,
+as they are bad. Soak them overnight, and in the morning
+pour away the water on them and cover them with a quart of
+the boiling water in the rule, and cook an hour and a half.
+Put in the rest of the water and the stock, and press the
+whole through a sieve, and, after washing and wiping the
+kettle, put the soup back to heat, adding the salt and pepper.

+\ingredient 3 shakes of pepper.
+\instruction Peel and boil the potatoes till tender; then turn off
+the water and stand them on the back of the stove with
+a cover half over them, where they will keep hot while

+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Creamed Sweet Potatoes\label{creamed_sweet_potatoes}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Boil the potatoes, skin them, and cut them up in small

+\indpar
+ Once Margaret made something very nice by a recipe her
+Pretty Aunt put in her book. It was called---
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+ Stuffed Beets\label{stuffed_beets}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 can French peas.
+\ingredient 6 medium-sized beets.
+\instruction Boil the beets as before and skin them, but leave them
+whole. Heat the peas after the juice has been turned off,
+and season them with salt and pepper. Cut off the stem
+end of each beet so it will stand steadily, and scoop
+a round place in the other end; sprinkle each beet with
+salt and pepper, and put a tiny bit of butter down in
+this little well, and then fill it high with the peas
+it will hold.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+ Creamed Cabbage\label{creamed_cabbage}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 small cabbage.
+\ingredient 1 cup cream sauce.
+\instruction Take off the outside leaves of the cabbage; cut it up in
+four pieces, and cut out the hard core and lay it in cold,
+salted water for half an hour. Then wipe it dry and slice
+it, not too fine, and put it in a saucepan; cover it with
+boiling water with a teaspoonful of salt in it, and boil
+hard for fifteen minutes without any cover. While it is
+cooking, make a cup of cream sauce. Take up the cabbage,
+press it in the colander with a plate till all the water
+is out; put it in a hot covered dish, sprinkle well with
+salt, and pour the cream sauce over. This will not have
+any unpleasant odor in cooking, and it will be so tender
+and easy to digest that even a little girl may have two
+helpings.
+\instruction If you like it to look green, put a tiny bit of soda
+in the water when you cook it.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Lima Beans\label{lima_beans}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+ Shell them and cook like peas; pour over them a half-cup
+of cream sauce, if you like this better than having them dry.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Peas\label{peas}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Shell them and drop them into a saucepan of boiling water,
+into which you have put a teaspoonful of salt and one of
+sugar. Boil them till they are tender, from fifteen
+minutes, if they are fresh from the garden, to half an
+hour or more, if they have stood in the grocer's for a
+day or two. When they are done they will have little
+dents in their sides, and you can easily mash two or three
+with a fork on a plate. Then drain off the water, put in
+three shakes of pepper, more salt if they do not taste just
+right, and a piece of butter the size of a hickory-nut,
+and shake them till the butter melts; serve in a hot
+covered dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+String Beans\label{string_beans}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Pull off the strings and cut off the ends; hold three or
+four beans in your hand and cut them into long, very narrow

+\ingredient Butter as large as an English walnut.
+\instruction Peel and cut the tomatoes up small, saving the juice;
+put together in a saucepan with the seasoning, the soda
+mixed in a teaspoonful of water before it is put in. Simmer
+twenty minutes, stirring till it is smooth, and last put in
+half a cup of bread or cracker crumbs, or a cup of toast,
+cut into small bits. Serve in a hot, covered dish.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Asparagus\label{asparagus}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Untie the bunch, scrape the stalks clean, and put it in
+cold water for half an hour. Tie the bunch again, and cut
+enough off the white ends to make all the pieces the same
+length. Stand them in boiling water in a porcelain kettle,
+and cook gently for about twenty minutes. Lay on a platter
+on squares of buttered toast, and pour over the toast and
+the tips of the asparagus a cup of cream sauce. Or do not
+put it on toast, but pour melted butter over the tips after
+it is on the platter. To make it delicious, mix the juice
+of a lemon with the butter.
+\instruction Sometimes put a little grated cheese on the ends last
+of all.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Onions\label{onions}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Peel off the outside skin and cook them in boiling, salted
+water till they are tender; drain them, put them in a
+baking-dish, and pour over them a tablespoonful of melted
+butter, three shakes of pepper, and a sprinkling of salt,
+and put in the oven and brown a very little. Or, cover
+them with a cup of white sauce instead of the melted butter,
+and sprinkle with salt and pepper, but do not put in the oven.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Corn\label{corn}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Strip off the husks and silk, and put in a kettle of
+boiling water and boil hard for fifteen minutes; do not
+salt the water, as salt makes corn tough. Put a napkin
+on a platter with one end hanging over the end; lay the corn
+on and fold the end of the napkin over to keep it warm.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Canned Corn\label{canned_corn}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Turn the corn into the colander and pour water through it a
+moment. Heat a cup of milk with a tablespoonful of butter, a
+teaspoonful of salt, and three shakes of pepper, and mix with
+the corn and cook for two minutes. Or, put in a buttered
+baking-dish and brown in the oven. Many people never wash
+corn; it is better to do so.
+\medskip
+\indpar
+ Sometimes Margaret had boiled rice for dinner in place of
+potatoes, and then she looked back at the recipe she used when
+she cooked it for breakfast, and made it in just the same way.
+Very often in winter she had---
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+ Macaroni\label{macaroni}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 6 long pieces of macaroni.
+\ingredient 1 cup white sauce.
+\ingredient \OneHalf pound of cheese.
+\ingredient Paprika and salt.
+\instruction Break up the macaroni into small pieces, and boil fifteen
+minutes in salted water, shaking the dish often. Pour off the
+water and hold the dish under the cold-water faucet until all
+the paste is washed off the outside of the macaroni, which
+will take only a minute if you turn it over once or twice.
+Butter a baking-dish, put in a layer of macaroni, a good
+sprinkle of salt, then a very little white sauce, and a layer
+of grated cheese, sprinkled over with a tiny dusting of
+paprika, or sweet red pepper, if you have it; only use a tiny
+bit. Then cover with a thin layer of white sauce, and so on
+till the dish is full, with the last layer of white sauce
+covered with an extra thick one of cheese. Bake till brown.
+\instruction Margaret's mother got this rule in Paris, and she though it
+a very nice one.
+\smallskip
+\indpar
+ After the soup, meat, and vegetables at dinner came the
+salad; for this Margaret almost always had lettuce, with
+French dressing, as mayonnaise seemed too heavy for dinner.
+Sometimes she had nice watercress; once in a long time she had
+celery with mayonnaise.

+tablespoonful of sugar. Then shave thin two squares of
+Baker's chocolate, and stir in over the teakettle till it
+melts, and stir it in very thoroughly before you put in the

+the while, and then put it in the double boiler and cook till
+it is as thick as cream. Take it off the fire, stir in a
+saltspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of vanilla, and
+set it away to cool. When it is dinner-time, strain the

+\indpar
+ Sometimes Margaret colored lemon jelly with red raspberry
+juice, and piled sugared raspberries around the mould. Lemon
+jelly is one of the best things to put things with; peaches
+may be used instead of prunes, in that rule, or strawberries,
+with plenty of sugar, or bits of pineapple.

+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make a plain lemon jelly, as before. Cut up very thin two
+oranges, one banana, six figs, and a handful of white grapes,
+which you have seeded, and sweeten them. Put in a mould and
+pour in the jelly; as it begins to grow firm you can gently
+lift the fruit from the bottom once or twice.
+\instruction You can also fill the mould quite full of fruit, and make
+only half the jelly and pour over. Whipped cream is nice to
+eat with this.

+\begin{FoodTypeTitle}
+Ice-creams and Ices\label{packing_the_freezer}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\instruction Margaret had a little ice-cream freezer which was all her
+own, and held only enough for two little girls to eat at a
+tea-party, and this she could pack alone. When she made
+ice-cream for all the family she had to use the larger
+freezer, of course, and this Bridget helped her pack. But the
+same rule was used for either the large one or the small.
+First break up the ice in a thick bag with a hammer until the
+pieces are as large as eggs, and all about the same size.
+Then put two big bowls or dippers of this into a tub or pail,
+and add one bowl or dipper of coarse salt, and so on, till you
+have enough, mixing it well with a long-handled spoon. Put
+the freezer in its pail and put the cover on; then fill the
+space between with the ice and salt till it is full, pressing
+it down as you work. Let it stand now in a cool place, till
+you know the inside is very cold, and then wipe off the top
+carefully and pour in the cream, which must be very cold, too.
+Put on the top and turn smoothly and slowly till it is stiff,
+which should be fifteen minutes. Then draw off the water from
+the pail, wipe the top of the cover again, so no salt can get
+in, and take out the dasher, pushing the cream down with a
+spoon from the sides and packing it firmly. Put a cork in the
+hole in the cover, and put it on tightly. Mix more ice with a
+little salt; only a cupful to two bowls this time, and pack
+the freezer again up to the top. Wring out a heavy cloth in
+the salty water you drew off the pail, and cover it over
+tightly with this, and then stand in a cool, dark place till
+you need it; all ice-creams are better for standing two hours.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}

+Beat the yolks of the eggs, put in the sugar, and beat again;
+then pour the hot milk into these slowly, and the salt, and
+put it on the fire in the double boiler and let it cook to a
+nice thick cream. (This is a plain boiled custard, such as
+you made for floating island.) Take it off and let it cool

+Vanilla Parfait\label{vanilla_parfait}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of sugar.
+\ingredient 1 cup of water.
+\ingredient Whites of three eggs.
+\ingredient 1 pint of cream.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful vanilla.
+\instruction Put the sugar and water in a nice enamelled saucepan and
+cook it without stirring. You must shake the pan often to
+prevent its burning, but if you stir it, it will make it
+sugary. After about five minutes hold your spoon up in the
+air and drop one drop back into the saucepan; if a little
+thread is made which blows off to one side, it is done, but
+if not you must cook till it does. If your fire is very hot
+it may make the thread in less time, so try it every few
+moments. Have the whites of your eggs beaten very stiff, and
+slowly pour the syrup into them, beating hard with a fork all
+the time. You must keep on beating till this is cold. Have
+ready a pint of thick cream, whipped very stiff, either with a
+Dover egg-beater, or in a little tin cream-churn, and when the
+egg is cold, mix the two lightly and put in the vanilla. If
+you have a mould with a tight cover, put it in this, but if
+not, take a lard-pail; cover tightly, and stand in a pail on a
+layer of ice and salt, mixed just as for freezing ice-cream,
+and pile more ice and salt all over it, the more the better.
+Let this stand five hours, or four will do, if necessary, and
+turn the cream on a pretty dish. After you have made this
+once it will seem no trouble at all to make it.
+\instruction If your mother would like a change from this recipe
+sometimes, try putting in the yolks of the eggs, well beaten,
+with the cream, and use some other flavoring.\pagebreak[4]

+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+General Rule\label{pies_general_rule}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\indpar
+ Margaret's mother did not like her to eat pie, but she let
+her learn how to make it, and once in awhile she had a small
+piece. Here is her rule:
+\ingredient 1 pint of flour.
+\ingredient \OneQuarter cup of butter.
+\ingredient \OneQuarter cup lard, 1 teaspoonful salt.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup ice-water.
+\instruction Put the flour, butter, lard, and salt in the chopping-bowl
+and chop till well mixed. Then add the water, a little at a
+time, turning the paste\, and\, chopping\, till smooth,\, but never
+touching with the hand. Put a very little flour on the
+pastry-board and lift the crust on this, and with a floured
+rolling-pin lightly roll it out once each way; fold it over
+and roll again, and do this several times till the crust looks
+even, with no lumps of butter showing anywhere. Put it on a
+plate and lay it in the ice-chest for at least an hour before
+you use it.
+\instruction Pie-crust will never be light and nice if you handle it. Do
+not touch it with your fingers unless it is really necessary.
+When you use it, get everything ready for the pie first, and
+then bring out the crust, roll quickly, and spread over the
+pie.
+\instruction In putting the pie in the pan, cut the bottom piece a little
+larger than you want it, as it will shrink. Sprinkle the tin
+with flour, lay on the crust, and after it has been fitted
+evenly, and is not too tight, cut off the edge. Put a narrow
+strip of paste all around the edge, and press it together; if
+you wet it with a little water it will stick. If you wish to
+be sure the filling of the pie will not soak into the under
+crust, brush that over with beaten white of egg. After you
+put in the filling, fold your top crust together and cut some
+little shutters to let out the steam. Put on the cover, wet
+the edges so they will stick together, and pinch evenly.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Deep Apple Pie, or Apple Tart\label{deep_apple_pie_or_tart}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Fill a baking-dish with apples, peeled and cut in slices.
+Sprinkle with flour, cinnamon, and plenty of sugar, about half
+a cup. Put in the oven and bake till the apples are soft, and
+then cool, put on the crust, and bake till brown. Serve
+powdered sugar and rich cream with this. All pies cooked in a
+baking-dish, with no crust on the bottom or sides of the dish,
+are called tarts by the English. They are the best kind of
+pie.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Peach Pie\label{peach_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Line a pie-plate with crust, lay in the peaches, peeled and
+sliced, sprinkle with flour, and then cover with sugar; put on
+a top crust, cut some little slits in it to let out the steam,
+and cook till brown. Or, make a deep peach tart.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+French Peach Pie\label{french_peach_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Put the crust in the pie-pan as before; boil a cup of sugar
+with two tablespoonfuls of water till it threads. Lay
+quarters of peaches in the paste, around and around, evenly,
+no one on top of the other. Break ten peach-stones and
+arrange evenly on top; the pour the syrup over, and put a few
+narrow strips of crust across the pie, four each way, and
+bake.\pagebreak[4]
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Pumpkin Pie\label{pumpkin_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 small pumpkin.
+\ingredient 2\OneHalf cups of pulp.
+\ingredient 2 cups of milk.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful molasses.
+\ingredient 2 eggs.
+\ingredient 1 teaspoonful each of salt, ginger, cinnamon, and butter.
+\ingredient 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar.
+\instruction Cut the pumpkin in small pieces and take out the seeds and
+remove the peel. Put the good part over the kettle and steam
+it till it is tender, keeping it covered. Then you take off
+the cover, and stand the steamer you have cooked it in on the
+back of the stove, till the heat makes the pumpkin nice and
+dry. Then mash it and put it through the colander. While it
+is warm, mix in everything in the rule except the eggs; let it
+cool, and put these in last, beating them till light. Line
+the pie-tin with crust, and pour in the filling and bake.
+This rule is a very nice one; it makes two pies.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cranberry Pie\label{cranberry_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Cook a quart of cranberries till tender, with a small cup of
+water; when they have simmered till rather thick, put in a
+heaping cup of sugar and cook five minutes more. When as
+thick as oatmeal mush, take them off the fire and put through
+the colander; line a tin with crust, fill with berries, put
+strips of crust across, and bake. A nice plan is to take half
+a cup of raisins and a cup of cranberries for a pie, chopping
+together and cooking with water as before, adding a sprinkling
+of flour and a little vanilla when done.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Orange Pie\label{orange_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 orange.
+\ingredient 1 cup of water.
+\ingredient 1 small cup of sugar.
+\ingredient 2 teaspoonfuls corn-starch.
+\ingredient Butter the size of a hickory-nut.
+\ingredient Yolk of one egg.
+\instruction Grate\, the\, rind of the orange,\, and\, then squeeze out the juice.
+Beat the yolk of the egg, add the water, with the corn-starch
+stirred in, orange juice and rind and butter, and cook till it
+grows rather thick. Bake your crust first; then bake the
+orange filling in it; then beat the white of your egg with
+a tablespoonful of granulated sugar, and put over it and brown.
+This is an especially nice rule.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Lemon Pie\label{lemon_pie}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make exactly as you did the orange-pie, but put in a
+good-sized cup of sugar instead of a small one, with a lemon
+in place of the orange.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Tarts\label{tarts}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Whenever\, Margaret\, made pie\, she\, always saved all the bits of
+the crust and rolled them out, and lined patty-pans with them
+and baked them. She often filled them with raw rice while
+they baked, to keep them in shape, saving the rice when they
+were done. She filled the shells with jelly, and used the
+tarts for lunch.

+CANDY\label{CANDY}
+\end{FoodTypeTitle}
+\smallskip
+\indpar
+Margaret did not wait till she reached the recipes for candy
+at the back of her book before she began to make it. She made
+it all the way along, whenever another little girl came to
+spend the afternoon, or it was such a rainy day that she could
+not go out. Nearly always she made molasses candy, because it
+was such fun to pull it, and she used the same rule her mother
+used when she was a little girl.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Molasses Candy\label{molasses_candy}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 2 cups New Orleans molasses.
+\ingredient 1 cup white sugar.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful butter.
+\ingredient 1 tablespoonful vinegar.
+\ingredient 1 small teaspoonful soda.
+\instruction Boil hard twenty minutes, stirring all the time, and cool in
+shallow pans. If you double the rule you must boil the candy
+five minutes longer.
+\instruction The best thing about this candy is that it does not stick to
+the fingers, if you let it get quite cool before touching it,
+and pull it in small quantities. Do not put any butter on
+your fingers, but work fast.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Maple Wax\label{maple_wax}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Boil two cups of maple syrup till it hardens when dropped in
+cold water. Fill a large pan with fresh snow, pack well; keep
+the kettle on the back of the stove, where the syrup will be
+just warm, but will not cook, and fill a small pitcher with
+it, and pour on the snow, a little at a time. Take it off in
+small pieces with a fork. If there is no snow, use a cake of
+ice.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Peanut Brittle\label{peanut_brittle}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make the molasses candy given above, and stir in a large cup
+of shelled peanuts just before taking it from the fire. Put
+in shallow, buttered pans.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Peppermint Drops\label{peppermint_drops}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup sugar.
+\ingredient 2 tablespoonfuls of water.
+\ingredient 3 teaspoonfuls of peppermint essence.
+\instruction Boil the sugar and water till when you drop a little in
+water it will make a firm ball in your fingers. Then take it
+off the fire and stir in the peppermint, and carefully drop
+four drops, one exactly on top of another, on a buttered
+platter. Do not put these too near together.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Pop-corn Balls\label{popcorn_balls}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make half the rule for molasses candy. Pop a milk-can full
+of corn, and pour in a little candy while it is hot; take up
+all that sticks together and roll in a ball; then pour in
+more, and so on.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Maple Fudge\label{maple_fudge}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 3 cups brown sugar.
+\ingredient 2 cups maple syrup.
+\ingredient 1 cup of milk.
+\ingredient \OneHalf cup of water.
+\ingredient Butter the size of an egg.
+\ingredient 1 cup English walnut meats, or hickory-nuts.
+\instruction Boil the sugar and maple syrup till you can make it into a
+very soft ball when you drop it in water; only half as hard as
+you boil molasses candy. Then put in the milk, water, and
+butter, and boil till when you try in water it makes quite a
+firm ball in your fingers. Put in the nuts and take off the
+fire at once, and stir till it begins to sugar. Spread it
+quickly on buttered pans, and when partly cool mark in squares
+with a knife.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Chocolate Fudge\label{chocolate_fudge}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 1 cup of milk.
+\ingredient 1 cup of sugar.
+\ingredient 1 pinch of soda.
+\ingredient 3 squares Baker's chocolate.
+\ingredient Butter the size of an egg.
+\instruction Put the soda in the milk and scrape the chocolate. Mix all
+together until when you drop a little in water it will make a
+ball in your fingers. Take off the fire then, and beat until
+it is a stiff paste, and then spread on a buttered platter.
+Sometimes Margaret added a cup of chopped nuts to this rule,
+putting them in just before she took the fudge off the fire.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream Walnuts\label{cream_walnuts}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\ingredient 2 cups of light brown sugar.
+\ingredient Two-thirds cup of boiling water.
+\ingredient 1 small saltspoonful of cream of tartar.
+\ingredient 1 cup chopped walnuts.
+\instruction Boil till the syrup makes a thread, then cool till it begins
+to thicken, and stir in the walnuts and drop on buttered
+paper.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Cream Made from Confectioners' Sugar\label{cream_confectioners_sugar}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Take the white of one egg, and measure just as much cold
+water; mix the two well, and stir stiff with confectioners'
+sugar; add a little flavoring, vanilla, or almond, or
+pistache, and, for some candies, color with a tiny speck of
+fruit paste. This is the beginning of all sorts of cream
+candy.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}

+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make the plain white candy just given, and to it add a
+tablespoonful of cocoanut, and flavor with vanilla. Make into
+little balls, rather long then round, and with a fork put eyes
+in them like potato eyes. Roll in cinnamon. These candies
+are very quickly made, and are excellent for little girls'
+parties.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Chocolate Creams\label{chocolate_creams}
+\end{RecipeTitle}
+\instruction Make the cream candy into balls, melt three squares of
+Baker's chocolate; put a ball on a little skewer or a fork,
+and dip into the chocolate and lay on buttered paper.

+spread on a platter.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}
+Betty's Orange Candy\label{bettys_orange_candy}
+\end{RecipeTitle}

+favorite rule:
+\ingredient 2 cups sugar.
+\ingredient Juice of one orange.
+\instruction Boil till it hardens in water, and then pull it.
+\begin{RecipeTitle}

+sometimes, she had to learn how to make a good many kinds of
+sandwiches, because she soon grew tired of one or two sorts.
+\medskip
+\instruction Cut the bread very thin and spread lightly with butter,
+and after they are done trim off the crusts neatly, not taking

+\smallskip\noindent THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE\\
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+\smallskip\noindent To protect the \pgtm\ mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
+\pgtm\ License (available with this file or online at
+{\em https://gutenberg.org/license}).
+
+
+\medskip\noindent Section 1. General Terms of Use \& Redistributing \pgtm\ electronic works
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.A. By reading or using any part of this \pgtm\
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of \pgtm\ electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
+\pgtm\ electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most \pgtm\ electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with
+\pgtm\ electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to \pgtm\ electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of
+\pgtm\ electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the
+\pgtm\ mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing \pgtm\ works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the \pgtm\ name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full
+\pgtm\ License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other
+\pgtm\ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full \pgtm\ License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a \pgtm\ work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+\smallskip\noindent This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at {\em www.gutenberg.org}
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.2. If an individual \pgtm\ electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+\pgtm\ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.3. If an individual \pgtm\ electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the \pgtm\ License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full
+\pgtm\ License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with \pgtm.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the
+\pgtm\ License.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a \pgtm\ work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official \pgtm\ web site ({\em www.gutenberg.org}),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full
+\pgtm\ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+\item ---You pay a royalty fee of 20\% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of \pgtm\ works calculated using the method

+ \pgtm\ works.
+\item ---You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any

+\end{list}
+\noindent 1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a
+\pgtm\ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the \pgtm\ trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the
+\pgtm\ collection. Despite these efforts, \pgtm\ electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
+\pgtm\ trademark, and any other party distributing a
+\pgtm\ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+\smallskip\noindent 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of \pgtm\ electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of \pgtm\ electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any \pgtm\ work,
+(b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+\pgtm\ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+\medskip\noindent Section 2. Information about the Mission of \pgtm
+
+\smallskip\noindent \pgtm\ is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+\smallskip\noindent Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching \pgtm's
+goals and ensuring that the \pgtm\ collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for \pgtm\ and future generations.

+\medskip\noindent Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+\smallskip\noindent \pgtm\ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+(\$1 to \$5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+\smallskip\noindent The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit {\em https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate}
+
+\smallskip\noindent While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+\smallskip\noindent International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+\smallskip\noindent Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: {\em https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate}

+
+\medskip\noindent Section 5. General Information About \pgtm\ electronic
+works.
+
+\smallskip\noindent Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the \pgtm\
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed
+\pgtm\ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+\smallskip\noindent \pgtm\ eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+\smallskip\noindent Most people start at our Web site which has the
+main PG search facility:
+
+\smallskip\noindent\hspace*{3em}\em{https://www.gutenberg.org}
+
+\smallskip\noindent This Web site includes information about \pgtm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe
+to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
