OYSTER SALAD. Janet McKenzie Hill, Boston, Scald oysters until they are plump, and then put them in cold water while they are boiling hot, so as to make them firm. Put them to one side and boil five eggs hard. Take off the whites and chop very fine. Lay a bed of white lettuce

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
