Dinner. — Sole au Gratin (May 3rd). Beej ' Stewed with Onions. —
Bub the inside of a stewpan with good dripping. Pepper the steak,
and salt it lightly. Lay it in the pan, and with it four large Spanish
onions cut into thin slices. Cover the saucepan closely, place it at
the side of the fire, and let it simmer gently for two hours. Put the
steak on a dish, place the onions upon it, and pour the gravy over
all. It will be found that the onions will yield sufficient gravy, so
that there will be no occasion to put any sauce in the pan. Those
who are very partial to the flavour of onions will like this dish ;
others had better avoid it. Baked Potatoes (May 4th). Nottingham
Pudding. — Make a little good batter ( see Toad in the Hole, January
15th). Peel and core half a dozen good baking apples. Fill the
hollow in the middle with sugar, and sprinkle powdered cinnamon or
nutmeg on th✪ Nottingham Puddinge top. Place the apples in a buttered dish, pour the
batter round them, and bake in a good oven. Cheese (June 8th).
Tilings that must not be Forgotten.
1. The batter will be better if made some hours before it ia
wanted.
2. Pickle the fresh herrings bought this morning (August 20th).
3. Preserve any beef that may be left.
4 Turn and rub the ox-tongue in the brine.
