Preparing The Meal

The first thing in the morning prepare and cook the brains, and while cooking make the toast and coffee. As soon as the toast is made set in the oven or any warm place to keep hot until ready to serve the breakfast. Now wash and hull the berries, put in the dishes, and place on the table. Keep a very low fire under the brains while the berries are being eaten, then serve them with the toast and coffee.

Immediately after breakfast start to make the Jellied Beef for lunch, and while the gelatine is soaking cook the eggs for the salad; then put cold beef left from the preceding evening, through the meat chopper. Now make the cream puffs and while they are baking finish the Jellied Beef and set away in a cold place to harden; then finish the salad. A salad such as this needs to stand some time before serving so that the flavors may be thoroughly blended. Make the Cream Filling for the Cream puffs and when both filling and puffs are cool, put together.
