A MENU WITH RECIPES.

By J. E. Paterson

Spring Soup,

Nucose Croquettes, Sugar Corn,

Wheat Mold with Whipped Cream or Fruit Dressing.

SPRING SOUP.—One pint of asparagus tops, one pint green peas, one-quarter of a small cabbage, one small carrot, three or four green onions, two tomatoes, four quarts of boiling water and flour to thicken. Cook the peas in water until tender, then rub through a strainer. Chop the remainder of the vegetables fine and add them to the pease broth. Cook on a slow heat one hour, then bring to a boil; thicken and serve with sippets.

NUCOSE CROQUETTES.—One-half pound of nucose, one-half pint granose, two stalks of celery, one small onion, one pint of water and a speck of sage. Salt to taste.

Peel and slice the onion, the nucose and the celery; put them in a sauce-pan; add the sage, salt and water. Cover and cook for thirty minutes, then rub through a soup strainer with a wooden potato masher. Add the granose, mix well and shape into balls. Roll them in egg and bread crumbs, and bake ten or fifteen minutes. Serve with sauce (tomato).

MACARONI IN CREAM.—Cook six ounces of macaroni twenty minutes in four quarts of water, to which has been added a tablespoonful of salt. Strain off the water and use it for soup stock. Return the macaroni to the sauce-pan and add two quarts of boiling milk and cook on a slow heat for thirty minutes longer. Five minutes before serving move the sauce-pan to a warmer part of the stove and add two well-beaten eggs and a half-pint of cream. Take care that the egg does not curdle. Serve hot.

WHEAT MOLD AND WHIPPED CREAM OR FRUIT DRESSING.—Cook one cup of cracked wheat in six cups of water until done. Half fill six teacups with the wheat and leave to cool until time for serving, then turn into saucers with cream or fruit dressing.

For fruit dressing, rub one quart of cooked raspberries through a strainer and serve a little around each mold.
