Potatoes (May 6th) ; Scarlet Runners {see Kidney Beans, August 16th). Mountain Pudding. — Butter a pie-dish and line it with ratafias, and grate the rind of a lemon over them. Mix two ounces of flour with a little cold milk to a smooth paste, and add cold milk gradually to make a pint. Boil this for ten minutes, stirring all the time. Pour the mixture gently over the ratafias, and soak for ten minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth. Stir two ounces of sifted sugar to this, and add a little corn-flour or arrowroot to make the icing stiff. Arrange it on the pudding in five or six little mounds to imitate mountains, and put the pudding in the oven till these are lightly browned. Serve cold. This icing will take no harm if it is made two or three hours before it is wanted. Cheese (June 8th). Tea. — Milk Rolls (August 26th) and Rice Cake (August 2nd). Supper. — Haricot Salad (March 29th). Sliced Tomatoes. — Prepare these an hour or so before they are wanted. Put a small dish with cut garlic or shalot ; cut the tomatoes into thin slices, lay these on the dish, and sprinkle plenty of salt and a very little pepper over them. Pour a little oil and vinegar over all. Plum Pie (August 7th) Tilings that must not be Forgotten. 1. As soon as the mutton leaves the table put it on a clean dish.
