A year's cookery

Put the preparation in a hot oven till it is brightly browned, and serve very hot. Baked Omelet (August 6th). Dinner. — Palestine soup made of .the stock in which the rabbit bones were stewed (December 8th) ; Shoulder of Mutton (March 4th) ; Onion Sauce (October 14th) ; Baked Potatoes (May 4th) ; Greens ( J une 4th). Tapioca and Apples. — Take half-a-dozen good-sized baking apples, peel, core, and cut them into quarters. . Remove the lemon-rind, and put the tapioca and the water in which it was soaked into a saucepan, and stir it till it boils, and let it keep boiling for a few minutes till it is clear, and stir frequently, lest it should get lumpy,, then sweeten it with a little white sugar. Put the quarters of apples, into a pie-dish with two or three spoonfuls of cold water, some brown sugar, and two cloves. When slightly softened put them at the bottom of the saucepan, cover them with the tapioca, and let them simmer very gently till they are tender without being broken. Lift them upon a dish, colour the tapioca with a little cochineal, pour it over the fruit, ancl serve cold. If liked, large-grained sago can be used instead of tapioca for this dish, and cinnamon or ginger can be used instead of lemon-rind for flavouring. Prunes or other fruit can, if preferred, be used instead of apples. Cheese (June 8th): Things that must not be Forgotten. 1. Turn and rub the beef in the brine. 2.
