" Boil fresh eggs five minutes; peel; take a little white oS from each end; cut the rest in four slices, and put between bread and butter." That compound would be but little better than the egg in its natural state. Hard-boiled eggs, for any purpose, should be cooked in water just below the boiling point not less than twenty minutes ; then the yolk, instead of being tough, will be soft and mealy. To make sandwiches, use eggs thus boiled; chop fine; add a teaspoonful of butter for each egg, and salt and pepper to season; mix well together. The butter in the mixture holds it together when cold. Spread on buttered slices of bread, and put them together. A little chopped ham may be mixed with the egg for variety. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15 Breakfast.— Hominy with Cream. Corned Beef Hash. Hot Rolls.
