A very common error m to toast it hurriedly, burning the outsides of the slices, and leaving the insides soft and moist. Whether toasted bread is to he used with various dishes mentioned in the preceding pages, or to be served by itself, cut slices from a stale loaf, about the third of an inch, or at most half an inch, thick. Toast these with a toasting-fork before a clear fire, constantly moving the bread, in order to brown it slowly and nicely all over. Toast it thus on both sides, making it crisp. If it is to be served as dry toast, set the slices upright to cool, then cut them in halves and put them into the toast-rack. STEWED CHEESE. 2 table-spoonfuls grated cheese. 4 table-spoonfuls cream.
