2 eggs, beaten
2 cups (1 pt.) cooked cereal
4 cups (2 pts.) milk, lukewarm 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1/2 teaspoon powdered nutmeg
Beat sugar and eggs until light, add cereal and milk, strain and cool, then add extracts. Freeze and serve in dainty ice-cream cups.

2 egg whites, beaten
1 1/2 cups (3/4 pt.) whipped and sweetened cream 1 cup (1/4 lb.) finely chopped nut meats
Cook cranberries in just sufficient water to prevent burning. Crush fruit, and when quite tender take from the fire and stir in soda and sugar. Cook until sugar is dissolved, then strain into a bowl. When cold add whites of eggs and freeze to the consistency of a soft snow. Then mix in cream and nut meats and continue to freeze until smooth and firm. Allow to ripen one hour. Serve in sherbet glasses.
