Calf’s Liver Saute.— Have I y2 lbs. of nice light -colored calf’s liver; cut in slices of one-third of an inch thick. Season each side with half a salt-spoonful of salt and quarter of a one of black pepper. Put in a skillet two table-spoonfuls of clarified butter ; when hot, place the slices one by the other. Cook three minutes on each side, remove them to a platter, and keep warm in the oven with door wide open. Put in the gravy of the liver two table-spoonfuls of finely chopped onions. Let simmer for five minutes while stirring, till they are a golden color. Add one table- spoonful of wine vinegar, let simmer one minute more, pour over the liver and sprinkle over it one table-spoonful of finely chopped parsley. Arrange the slices on the platter in a crown shape. Garnish with vegetables. Calf’s Tongue, Boiled. —Let two calves’ tongues soak in cold water for one hour. Put them in a soup-kettle with three quarts of cold water, over a brisk fire. As soon as it has come to the boiling-point, skim carefully and season with half a table-spoonful of salt, one salt -spoonful of pepper, three good-sized carrots, three small white turnips, one bouquet of three leeks, four sprigs of parsley, one branch of celery, one bay -leaf, two cloves stuck in one onion, and a very small branch of thyme. Let it boil for two hours, remove the tongues to a platter, skin them, and cut them in two, lengthwise. Serve with baked macaroni; or, if wanted cold, serve with tartar or other cold sauce.

Take a quarter of the bulk of the meat in but- ton mushrooms, clean these with a piece of flannel and a little salt, and simmer them very gently with a slice of fresh butter till they are done enough. Put the pieces of veal in a saucepan, lay the stewed mushrooms upon them, and pour over all a little nicely seasoned veal stock, thickened with a little piece of white thickening. Heat the preparation gently till it is on the point of boiling. Beat one or two eggs in a bowl, stir a spoonful of sauce into them, and add them gradu- ally to the rest. Shake the sauce over the fire for a minute, but do not let it boil or it will curdle. Add a table- spoonful of lemon -juice, and serve. If liked, the blanquette may be piled m the centre of a dish with a border of pastry round it. Time to sim- mer the mushrooms, ten to fifteen minutes.
