Italian Paste Soup

Take the fat from your cold soup-stock; pour off from the sediment; boil and skim, adding a tablespoonful of walnut or mushroom catsup. When the scum, ceases to rise, put in a quarter of a pound of Italian paste - i. e., something like macaroni cut into small figures, letters, stars, and the like. Simmer twenty minutes and pour out.

Broiled Spanish Mackerel

Clean, wash, and wipe dry. Split, so that when laid flat the backbone will be in the middle. Sprinkle with salt and lay, inside down, upon a buttered gridiron, over a clear fire, until it is nicely colored, then turn. When done, put upon a hot dish, butter plentifully and pepper. Put a hot cover over it and send to table.

Cold Beef A La Mode

Smooth the round on the top and garnish with pickled beets and parsley. Shave off horizontal slices in carving.

Mashed Potatoes

Pass with the fish, and, if you like, again when the meat comes on.

Green Peas

Shell, lay in cold water fifteen minutes; cook from twenty to twenty-five minutes in boiling saltwater, adding a lump of sugar unless they are just gathered. Drain very well, dish, pepper, salt, and butter.

Raw Tomatoes

Pare and slice with a sharp knife. Lay in a glass dish and pour over them a dressing made thus : Rub a tea-spoonful of sugar, half as much each of salt, pepper, and made mustard, into two tablespoonfuls of oil. Beat into this the yolk of a raw egg, and then, a few drops at a time, five tablespoonfuls of vinegar.

Cream Raspberry Pie

Line a pie-dish with puff paste, and fill with raspberries, sweetened bountifully. Cover with a paste-crust, but do not pinch this down at the edges. Also rub the edge of the lower crust with butter to prevent adhesion. Bake in a good oven. While it is cooking, heat a small cup of rich milk, putting in a pinch of soda - stir into it half a teaspoonful of corn-starch, wet in cold milk, one tablespoonful of white sugar, and cook three minutes. Take it off, and beat in the frothed whites of two eggs. Whip to a cream, and let it get cold. When the pie comes out of the oven, lift the top crust and pour in the mixture. Replace the crust and set aside to cool. Sift sugar upon the top before serving.
