in the house (see January 3rd) ; Potatoes ; Onions ; German Yeast ; Macaroni.
For To-morrow.— A pennyworth of Radishes and a pennyworth of Watercress ;

berry pie.
Breakfast. — Prawns (February 6th and 7th); Fried Ham and

Bacon (January 19th); Macaroni Pudding. — Break six ounces of
macaroni into one-inch lengths, put these into a saucepan with
plenty of hot water, and let them boil, without a lid on the saucepan,
for twenty minutes. Drain away the water, and pour on a quart
of milk, and add a slice of butter and three spoonfuls of sugar.
Boil again till the macaroni is tender, without being at all pulpy.
It will need about twenty minutes longer, but the time will vary with
the quality of the macaroni. Let the mixture cool. Break two eggs
into a bowl, grate a little nutmeg✪ Macaroni Pudding into them, and stir them lightly
in with the macaroni and milk ; pour into a greased dish, and
bake in a moderately-heated oven till the pudding is firm and of a
light-brown colour. It will take about an hour. Onion Sauce
(October 14tli) ; Mashed Potatoes (May 12th) ; Cheese (June 8th).

cake (August 2nd), and Vienna bread (August 26th).
4. Carefully preserve any little pieces of fried ham that may be
left. They may be made into ham toast for breakfast to-morrow.

For the Day.— A leg of snrall Pork, weighing not more than four pounds :
quarter of a pound of best Kidney Suet for the treacle pudding ; three pounds
of Jerusalem Artichokes for soup— artichokes will very likely be scarce now,
as they are going out of season ; two pennyworth of Parsley, a larger quantity
than usual will be needed because of the maitre d’liotel sauce; Potatoes, Greens.
For To-morrow.— A pair of thick Soles (January 3rd) : four Sheep’s Kidneys—
fine, plump, and perfectly fresh; half a pound of rashers of Bacon, if this
is not in the house ; one tin preserved Tomatoes ; two fresh Lettuces ; one
pennyworth of Beetroot ; two pennyworth of small Salad ; half a pound of
German Sausage for breakfast on March 30th. Very thick Gennan sausage is
not usually so good as that made of a small size. The former will not keep
more than a day ; the latter, though more expensive, will keep for some time.
Potatoes ; Sea Biscuits.
