Dutch Sauce. Radishes. Hot Buttered Toast. Dry Toast. Brown and White Bread and Butter. Bread and Milk. Broiled Steak, with Maitre d’Hotel Butter. Potato Snow. Semolina Pudding. Cheese. Marketing. For the Day.— A thick Plaice (April 21st) ; a slice of Rump Steak, weighing from three to three pounds and a half {see Marketing, January 22nd) ; Potatoes. For To-morrow.— Four plump young Pigeons ; a quart of Gooseberries. Breakfast. — Corned Beef bought yesterday; Shrimps (November 12th) ; Bread and Milk (January 25th). Luncheon — Minced Lamb. — Cut the meat off the bone and weigh it. Break up the bone, and stew it with an onion and a piece of carrot till a strong gravy is obtained. Supposing there is a pound of meat, mix with it a tea-spoonful of salt, half a tea-spoonful of white pepper, a shallot finely minced, a tea-spoonful of chopped parsley, very little grated nutmeg, and a table-spoonful of flour. Pour three- quarters of a pint of gravy over this, and simmer it gently, stirring it frequently till it is hot through, but it must not boil. Garnish with toasted sippets. Minced lamb is very good served with boiled spinach. Most people would, however, prefer to have it cold rather than it should be warmed up in any way. Plain Bice Pudding (February 24th). Dinner. — Fried Plaice (April 21st). Butch Sauce. — Beal Dutch sauce is thickened with yolk of egg and no flour. Four yolks of eggs, two table-spoonfuls of cream or water, and two ounces of butter, a grate of nutmeg, and a little pepper and salt
