Strain off as much soup from the stock-pot as you need for to day. Heat and skim; stir in a large cupful of mashed potato, rubbed through a colander; season to taste; simmer ten minutes, and add a great spoonful of butter rolled in flour. Boil up fairly, and serve.
Cut thick slices of the most nearly underdone portions of your roast mutton. Divide into neat squares about three inches across; dip each in thick drawn butter, in which the yolks of two eggs have been cooked. Lay the cutlets to cool upon a broad dish. When the creamy coating is cold and firm, roll each in pounded cracker, and fry - a few at a time - in hot lard or dripping. As each is lightly browned, take up with a skimmer, and drain off the fat. Arrange in a dish, overlapping one another.
Pare; cut into dice; throw into cold water, and leave there half an hour. Put on to cook in boiling salted water; stew twenty minutes. Drain off most of the water, and fill up with cold milk. When this boils, stir in a lump of butter rolled in flour, with chopped parsley. Cook gently five minutes longer.
Soak two cups of bread-crumbs in a cupful of yesterday's gravy, diluted with a little of your soup-stock. Add a cup of boiling milk, in which a pinch of soda has been stirred; beat to a smooth batter; add half a cupful of minced cold meat, three eggs, pepper, and salt. Pour into a buttered bake-dish, after beating all up light, and bake in a quick oven. Serve in the dish, and pass a little good gravy, or drawn butter, with it.
Put cold beans left from yesterday into a salad-bowl, and pour over it such a dressing as you prepared for Cold Slaw, on Monday, First Week in November.
Pare and core juicy pippins. Put a cupful of water, and one of sugar, into a bake-dish. Lay in the pippins; cover, and cook slowly until clear and tender. They should be turned once while cooking. Set away, still covered, in the bake-dish, to cool, on Saturday. On Monday, put them into a glass dish, and send cream and cake to table with them.
