Luncheon. — Stewed Ox Kidney (April 2nd). Siveet Macaroni. — Boil a quarter of a pound of macaroni in water till tender, but not at all broken. Drain it, put with it half a pint of cream or milk, three ounces of sugar, and any flavouring that may be chosen✪ Sweet Macaroni. Let it simmer again until it is quite thick, and stir it occasionally to keep it from burning, but be careful not to break the macaroni. Turn it upon a dish and serve. A compote of fresh fruit or a little preserved fruit is a very pleasant accompaniment to sweet macaroni. Dinner. — Fish Cakes (January 13tli) ; Fowl, Stewed with Toma¬ toes (September 12th) ; Potatoes (April 12th) ; French Beans (August 16th) ; Newcastle Pudding (June 12th) ; Cheese (June 8th).
