Routine: Peel and cook potatoes and mash. Peel and cook onions. Prepare filling for pie and cool. Prepare frankfurters and put into oven. Finish making Orange Boston Pie. Make wilted lettuce.

Creamed Onions

In peeling onions, remove all outside skin as they should be white as milk when served. Drop them into boiling water and boil about ten minutes. Drain, add fresh boiling water and cook about ten minutes longer or until tender. Before cooking is completed, add salt. Drain thoroughly and pour medium white sauce over them.

Orange Boston Pie

Store sponge or butter layer cake not iced.

Filling

2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon butter

1 egg, beaten

Pinch salt

Grated rind of 1/2 orange

Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add milk, butter, egg and cook in a double boiler. Stir until thick and smooth. Add orange juice and grated rind and stir until blended. Cool and pour over lower layer of the cake, place top layer on and either sprinkle confectioners' sugar or spread whipped cream on top. Serve in wedge shaped pieces.

Frankfurters Stuffed With Potatoes

6 medium potatoes 4 frankfurters

Grated cheese

Peel and thickly slice the potatoes. Boil until tender, drain, mash well and season as for mashed potatoes. Split frankfurters lengthwise and fill the opening with the mashed potato. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese, place in a shallow greased pan in the oven and bake at moderate heat (4000) until the cheese is melted and the frankfurters are lightly browned.

Wilted Lettuce

Lettuce, small head

6 slices of bacon

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup weak vinegar

Pepper

Shred the lettuce finely and put in a mixing bowl. Cut bacon into half inch pieces and fry until crisp. Skim out the bacon and put it on top of the lettuce.

Put sugar, salt and a dash of pepper into the bacon fat. Let cook for one minute and slowly add the vinegar. Bring to a boil and pour over the lettuce. Toss the lettuce about until it is well coated with the hot liquid and serve while still warm.
