(See page 217)] =Curried Vegetables.= Make a sauce of one-fourth a cup, each, of butter and flour, one tablespoonful of curry powder, half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper and a pint of milk; add half a teaspoonful of onion juice, one cup of cooked peas, half a cup, each, of potato balls, turnips cut into cubes or fanciful shapes, and carrots cut into straws. =Potatoes a la Maitre d'Hotel.= INGREDIENTS. 1 pint of potato balls, cut with French cutter, and cooked tender, may be used either hot or cold. 1 cup of milk. 2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 2 yolks of eggs. 1 tablespoonful of lemon juice. 1 tablespoonful of parsley, finely chopped. 1/2 a teaspoonful of salt. A dash of pepper. _Method._--Heat the milk and potatoes in the blazer over hot water. Cream the butter and add the yolks of the eggs, beating them in well; add the parsley and seasonings, mix thoroughly, and, when the potatoes are hot and have absorbed part of the milk, stir the egg and butter into them; add the lemon juice and serve at once. =White Hashed Potatoes.= Butter the blazer and put into it about three cups of cold chopped potato, salted during the chopping.
Pour over the potato a little hot stock, or water, and scatter some bits of butter over the top.
Cover, and cook slowly, without stirring or browning, until thoroughly heated. =String Beans a la Lyonnaise.= Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in the blazer; add a fine-sliced onion and saute to a delicate brown; add a quart of string beans, cooked, a dash of pepper, a grating of nutmeg and a little salt; heat thoroughly, tossing the beans occasionally; add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and another tablespoonful of butter, in bits, and serve at once. =Tomato Sandwich.= INGREDIENTS. 6 shredded-wheat biscuit. 4 medium-sized tomatoes. 1/2 a teaspoonful of salt. 8 teaspoonfuls of sugar, or 8 teaspoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing. _Method._--Peel the tomatoes, cut in small pieces, add the salt, and sugar, if used, and set aside in a cool place.
Split the biscuits, dip the inside lightly into cold water without wetting the outside, put the halves together, and arrange in a buttered blazer; cover, and heat over hot water; then separate the halves, and, using a knife dipped in hot water, spread with butter.
Put a layer of tomatoes on the bottom half, if sugar has not been used, add the salad dressing, and cover with the top of the biscuit, pressing it down lightly. =Kornlet Oysters.= To one cup of kornlet add two well-beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of flour, a scant half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of paprica.
