Veal and Ham Pie . — Cut the veal into slices the size of an oyster-shell and a quarter of an inch thick, and the ham into very thin rashers. Mix on a plate two tea-spoonfuls of salt, a tea-spoonful of white pepper, half a tea-spoonful of pounded mace, and half a tea-spoonful of grated lemon-rind. Fill the pie-dish with alternate layers of veal and ham, and sprinkle a portion of the seasoning over each layer of veal. Let ham form the uppermost layer. If it be allowed, put the yolks of three or four eggs, boiled hard, and four or five mushrooms between the layers. Pour a very little cold water over the meat, line the edges of the dish with pastry, cover with a good crust, ornament according to fancy, make a hole for the steam to escape, and bake in a good oven. The pie will be done enough in about two hours and a half. As soon as the crust is risen and set, a greased paper must be laid over the pie, and it must be put in the coolest part of the oven. If mushrooms and the yolks of eggs are allowed for this pie, Puff Paste (April 24th) will be the most suitable covering for it, or Bough Puff (May 29th) will answer excellently. For a plain family pie Short Crust (June 19th) will be sufficient. Boil the veal bones in slightly salted water for a couple of hours ; pour the liquor out, and free it from fat; make it boiling hot, and just before the pie is to be served pour it in by means of a funnel. New Potatoes (April 12th) ; Macaroni Pudding (March 27th) ; Cheese (June 8th). Things that must not be Forgotten. 1. Turn and rub the beef in the brine. 2.
