Stewed kidneys (J^ lb, 6 cents.) Potatoes baked and fried, (5 cents.) Wheat muffins (No. 102 doubled, 14 cents.) Batter cakes (2 qts, 12 cents.) Milk and cream (aveiage count, 25 cents.) Butter 15, syrup and sugar 16, tea and coffee 6. Total, $1 64; 25 persons; about 6>^ cents a plate. 580— Ham and Eggs, Hotel Style. The large dish of ham and eggs served at some restaurants as described at No. 76 as costing 25 cents is not the best dish of the kind that can be served. It is quantity in that case rather than quality. Take the best pieces of ham, the right- hand cut shown at No. 552, shave off the outside, cut slices very thin the full size of the piece — they scarcely ever weigh so much as two ounces — and broil over a brisk fire. Lay on a good siz<£d platter up towards one end and two fried eggs partly upon th.5 ham and partly on the dish. If at 18 cents a dozen two eggs cost three cents, and two ounces of choice cut of ham worth 24 cents a pound net costs 3 cents each dish served counts six cents for material. 581— Stewed Kidneys, or Saute of Kidneys. stewed, but we have to call them so, because of the dazed looks we meet if we used any harder words. Slice the three or four Bndneys that have been taken from the different meats and steep a short time in cold water. Put them in a frying pan with a little butter, dredge with pepper and salt, and simmer slowly over the fire shaking the pan oc- casionally. There will be a rich [^ravy in the pan in a few minutes in which the kidneys become well cooked and remain tender, but if not watched the gravy Eresently coagulates and the kidneys are ard and tasteless. The cooking should take place only a short time before the meal begins. Add a tablespoonful of walnut catsup
