Egg Soup

Heat all your soup-stock, adding hot water, should there not be two quarts. Cook gently half an hour; strain, pressing all the strength out of the meat; cool, skim off the fat; season; return to the fire, and when it boils, pour upon six beaten raw eggs. Put back into the soup-kettle, and stir until it begins to thicken. It must not boil. Put strips of crisp toast into the tureen, and pour on the soup.

Panned Oysters

Butter a number of small tins with upright sides, like those of muffin-rings. Cut rounds of bread to fit the bottoms; toast these, butter well, and fit each into its place. Wet with oyster-liquor; then lay in as many oysters as the tins will hold; dust with pepper and salt; put a bit of butter upon each, arrange the tins in a large dripping-pan; cover with another to keep in steam, and flavor, and cook eight minutes, or until the oysters "ruffle." Send up in the tins - " hot and hot."

Fowl And Rice Croquettes

Cut the meat from the skeleton of your cold chicken. Break up the bones, and cover with a quart of cold water, adding skin and gristle. Boil down to a pint, cool, take off the fat; return to the fire; salt, and put in half a cupful of raw rice. Cook in a farina-kettle until the rice is soft and dry; stir in, then, a tablespoonful of butter, and turn upon a flat dish, to cool. Meanwhile, put the minced chicken into a saucepan with a little of yesterday's soup; season, and stir over the fire until very hot. Beat a raw egg into the cold rice; flour your hands, and make into oblong flat cakes. Put a great spoonful of mince in the hollowed centre of each; enclose by folding the rice upon it; roll each in flour; then in raw egg; lastly in pounded cracker, and fry to a fine yellow brown.

Potatoes A L'Italienne

Whip the boiled potatoes to a dry meal with a fork; still using the fork, beat in butter, salt, pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Pile, like rock-work, upon a stone-china dish, or within a pudding-dish that has a silver stand for the table, and brown delicately and quickly upon the upper grating of the oven.

Canned Corn Pudding

Drain and chop the corn; add a cupful of milk, 2 tablespoonfuls of melted butter, and 1 of sugar; pepper, salt, and 2 beaten eggs. Beat all light; pour in a greased bake-dish; bake, covered, half an hour; then brown.

Boiled Custards And Cake

1 quart of milk; yolks of 5 eggs and the whites of 2, reserving 3 for the meringue; 6 tablespoonfuls of sugar; flavoring extract, 1 teaspoonful to the pint.

Heat the milk to scalding; pour gradually, upon the beaten yolks and two whites, whipped light with the sugar. Return to the custard-kettle, and stir until it begins to thicken. When cold, flavor; pour into glass or china cups; whip the whites to a froth with a little sugar, and pile upon the top. Lay a preserved berry, or a bit of bright jelly, upon the top of each snowy heap. Eat with cake.
