bread would need to be beaten
well with a fork after soaking, and any lumps there might be would
have to be taken away. Also, for economy’s sake, two eggs and a
little more milk might be used instead of four eggs. Cheese (June 8th).
Things that must not toe Forgotten.
1. Turn and rub the beef in the brine.
2. Take care of any little remnants of bacon there may be. They
can be used for luncheon to-morrow.
3. If supper is taken, it will be well to substitute Australian meat
for liver and bacon, as the latter would be rather indigestible taken
at night.
4. Put a cupful of green lentils to soak in plenty of cold water.

Luncheon. — Baked Mackerel — -Wash the mackerel in cold water,
cut off the tails and heads, and open the fish down the back. Wipe
them inside and out with a soft cloth, and lay them open, skin down¬
wards, in a well-greased baking-tin. Sprinkle salt and pepper on
them, squeeze a little lemon-juice over, and cover them with a piece
of well-greased kitchen paper to keep them from burning. Bake in
a moderate oven for about twenty minutes or till done enough.
Have ready two ounces of maitre d’hotel butter✪ Baked Mackerel ; spread a portion
of this upon each fish, and serve. Mackerel cooked thus is excellent,
and is very quickly and easily prepared. To make Maitre d’ Hotel
Butter, pick some parsley from the stems, wash it, and chop it finely.
After chopping it, wash it a second time, by putting it in a corner of
a cloth, dipping it in cold water, and wringing it dry. This second
washing takes away the acrid taste which is so objectionable in
uncooked parsley. Put the parsley on a plate with its bulk in fresh
butter, a little pepper and salt, and a few drops of lemon-juice.
Work the ingredients together with the point of a knife till the
mixture is smooth and of the consistency of very thick cream, when
it is ready for use. If the butter is made a little time before it is
wanted, keep it in a cool place, as, if melted, it woukt turn oily and be
spoilt. Macaroni and Bacon (January 27th), made of remains of bacon.
Dinner. — Lentil Soup (April 1st); Boast Beef (March 4th or
March 8th) ; Yorkshire Pudding (November 26th) ; Seakale (June
14th) ; Mashed Potatoes, moulded (October 23rd) ; Leche Creme
(May 7th) ; Cheese (J une 8th).
Tilings that must not be Forgotten.
1. Turn and rub the beef in the brine.
