Cottage Pie Bread And Butter Sweet Preserves
Lemonade
Line a baking dish with mashed potatoes left from dinner the night before. In the center place chopped meat (remnants of the steak) and gravy. Season well, cover with mashed potato. Bake in hot oven 20 minutes.
Use the juice of 1/2 lemon for each glass of lemonade. Sweeten with 2 or 3 teaspoons sugar; or - and this is much better - use sugar syrup for sweetening, as this mixes at once with the water.
About 1/2 hour before lunch-time light the oven burners, and prepare the cottage pie and place in oven.
Next make the lemonade, using very cold water.
Now see that the table is set, then turn out a glass of jelly into a jelly dish and place on the table.
Cut the bread and butter, and by this time the pie is done and ready to serve.
