Things that must not be Forgotten. 1. Pluck the fowls for dinner to-morrow, and cure the feathers (February 28th). 2. Make an apple mould for dinner to-morrow (September 15th). 3. Prepare the Whipped Cream , if this is to be allowed. The cream will be firmer if made the day before it is wanted. Put half a pint of double 'cream — that is, cream that has stood twenty-four hours — into a cold basin, sweeten and flavour it, and whisk it in a cold place with an ordinary whisk till it froths on the top. Skim off this froth and lay it at once on a fine sieve, and whisk again until the cream is finished. Take away the liquid that drains from the froth and reserve it for the celery sauce. When the froth has thus stood for some hours it will be ready for piling in the centre of a dish, or for any purpose of a similar kind. If the cream becomes very thick whilst it is being whisked, put a spoonful of cold water with it. The same remedy should be adopted if the cream should “ turn,” or become slightly cracked : this mischance frequently occurs, especially in hot weather. The quantity of whipped cream may be increased by beating the white of an egg to froth and adding it to the cream before beginning to whisk it. 4. The Celery Sauce may be partly made to-day to save time to¬ morrow. Proceed as for celery soup (December 3rd), decreasing the proportions for the quantity required. Celery Sauce should be thicker than soup ; it should be of the consistency of very thick gruel. The outer sticks of three or four heads of celery will be needed to make sauce for a pair of fowls. When it is made of the outer sticks of celery a little cream should be stirred in to enrich and whiten it. The best part of the celery will be wanted for chicken salad. This sauce is spoiled by a mixture of seasoning. Sunday, December S3th. Breakfast. Bloaters. Poached Eggs on Toast. Scones. Dry Toast. Brown and White Bread and Butter. Corn-flour Milk. Dinner.
