SPINACH WITH CREAM Discard all wilted leaves, remove the roots and pick over and wash one-half peck of spinach in several waters, to rid it from all sand. If young and tender, put in a stew-pan and heat gradually; let boil twenty-five minutes, or until soft, in its own juices and the water that clung to the leaves. Old spinach should be cooked in boiling, salted water (it will require about two quarts of water to one peck spinach). Drain thoroughly, chop finely in a wooden bowl. Melt three tablespoons butter in an omelet pan; add spinach and cook four minutes, stirring constantly, sprinkle with one and one-half tablespoons flour, continue stirring and pour on gradually three- fourths cup hot, thin cream; simmer five minutes. LETTUCE, RADISH AND ONION SALAD Remove the leaves from the stalk, discarding all wilted and unsightly leaves. Wash and keep in cold water until crisp. Drain and dry on a crash towel or cheese cloth. Place between leaves thin slices of round, red radishes, sprinkle with finely sliced young green onions. Garnish with radishes cut to resemble tulips. Serve with French Dressing. 124 5^ Sunday Dinners ItTsZ. APPLE PIE 5 tart apples. Y% teaspoon salt. 3^ cup sugar. V/i tablespoons butter. J4 teaspoon nutmeg. 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
