Cook some lettuce, cut Julienne +style, in consomme. Boil some Italian paste. Serve equal parts of each +in boiling consomme. + +=Suggestions and recipes for preserves, jellies and pickles.= For jelly +select your fruit before it is too ripe, as the flavor will then be much +better. Put it on the stove and bring to a heat, to facilitate the easy +extraction of the juice. Have a funnel-shaped bag made of flannel, to +strain the juice through. The first time it is strained use a wire sieve +with a revolving wire to crush the fruit. The juice should always be +strained twice, and the second time if the flannel bag is used, and it +is allowed to hang over night and drip, it will be much clearer. Put on +the juice over a good fire and allow it to come to a heat, then add the +sugar, which should be first heated in the oven. Boil rapidly in a pan +with a very large bottom, so that as much surface can be on the stove as +possible. If it is desired that the color be light add a little +gelatine. From fifteen to twenty minutes is long enough to boil it, but +it should not stop boiling during this time. Better success will +probably be had if the jelly is cooked in small quantities. After +pouring the jelly in glasses set in the hot sun until set, and then +cover with melted paraffine. + +If corn starch be put in the juice before adding the sugar it will make +it clearer. Use two teaspoonfuls in two tablespoonfuls of water, to +three pints of juice. A teaspoonful of sugar on top of jelly, in the +glass, prevents moulding. (To one pint of juice 11/2 lbs. sugar). + +=Preserves.= Small stone jars are best for preserves. If glass jars are +used they should be wrapped in paper to exclude the light. To prevent +preserves from sugaring add a little tartaric acid after they are +cooked. + +=Pickles.= Cider vinegar is best for pickles. If vinegar is too strong +dilute it with water. The pickles should be tightly sealed to prevent +the air reaching the vinegar, as this kills it. The vinegar should +always be poured on hot, just as it comes to the first scald--never +allowing it to boil. + +Never put up pickles in anything that has held grease; and never let +them freeze. If pickles are put into brine it should be strong enough to +bear an egg. To make the brine, use a heaping pint of salt to each +gallon of water. Put the pickles in bottles, and seal while the brine is +hot. A half bushel of grape leaves added to the barrel of salt pickles +will keep them sound and firm. A slice of horseradish added to each jar +or bottle of vinegar pickles will keep the vinegar clear. + + +MAY 11 + + BREAKFAST + Fresh raspberries with cream + Boiled eggs + Buttered toast + English breakfast tea + + LUNCHEON + Sardines in oil + Chicken broth in cups + Fried tomcods, Tartar sauce + Broiled honeycomb tripe, Chili sauce + Browned mashed potatoes + Field and beet salad + Lemon meringue pie + Coffee + + DINNER + Potage sante + Crab meat, Suzette + Roast ribs of beef, Yorkshire pudding + Stewed corn + French peas + Chiffonnade salad + Grapefruit coupe + Assorted cakes + Coffee + +=Broiled honeycomb tripe, Chili sauce.= Roll four pieces of well +seasoned boiled tripe in oil, then in fresh bread crumbs, and then +broil.

Boil until when some is placed on a saucer no juice will gather +around it. Put in small jars or glasses, in the same manner as jelly. + +=Canned strawberries.= Wash well before hulling.

The style of work required for the American + plan hotel with table d'hote meal, and that + for the European plan hotel restaurant, where + each article is sold for a separate price, has + brought about a demand for a book with recipes + and methods especially adapted for the preparation + of bakery and pastry goods for individual + sale. The first chapter is devoted to French + pastries, which are now so generally sold, yet so + little understood, because of the misnomer title; + then follows cakes and tarts of every kind; pies, + in great variety; puddings, hot and cold; ices, + ice creams, and many specialties, all set forth + with ingredients, quantities, and methods of mixing + and preparing, and instructions for oven or + temperature control.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread 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. + +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 www.gutenberg.org/donate + +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. + +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. + +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: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm 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. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +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. + |
