BEEF TENDER-sOME NEW
RECIPES AND HINTS
A FEW FASHION
NOTES.

In spring men sigh
For cherry pie
To soothe their tastes capricious:
It's with delight
They slowly bite,
And say that it's delicious.
But later on,
Ere spring is gone.
They want a change from cherries.
And then they try
The fragrant pie
That's stuffed with luscious berries.
In summer days
The same old craze
For pie new trick teaches.
With strong desire
Men then inquire
For pastry filled with peaches.
In chilly fall
For pie they calk
But this time 1t Is noted
They want the kind
In which they find
Sweet pumpkin thickly coated
In winter drear
They persevere,
For pie they still are schening:
But when it's brought
They want 1t hot,
And packed with mincemeat steaming.
Thus all year round
Can pie be found
And men are quick to grab 1t,
Advice they spurn,
For pie they yearn,
And won't give up the habit.

Any piece of beef from the round
may be prepared to COOK as tender as
the most delicious sirloin, if care be
taken with it. The Italians prepare
tough beef by basting it with olive oil.
Take piece Of rump steak and spread
with pure olive oil. Let it remain thus
an hour. Broil quickly, so that each
side will be thoroughly charred, and
then prop up the gridiron so as to be
little further from the fire for tie slow
er heating through; that cooks the in
ner juices without losing them. Melt 8
piece of butter, add two tablespoons
of vinegar, allowing it to become very
hot. Place the meat on warm platter,
and pour over it hot vinegar. This fin
ishes the rendering process, and makes
an appetizing gravy. Salt the meat af-
ter cooking. Lemon juice may be sub
stituted in place of vinegar. All that is
wanted is to have an acid that will rem
der the fibres tender.

Sailed Peanuts.
Take the raw nuts and remove the
shells and inner coverings. Melt a |
tablespoonful of good butter in an |
agateware pan, or pie plate. The nuts !
should just cover the bottom of the |
plate. Sprinkle with SALT and place in |
a moderate oven. Watch carefully, !
stirring the nuts from time to time, so
that all parts of them will come in

Mushroom Ketchup.
Break the large mushrooms into an
earthen jar, strew salt over and stir
them now and then for three days.
Then let them stand for twelve days till |
there is a thick scum over. Strain and
boil the liquor with red and black pep
pers, mace, ginger, two or three cloves
and some mustard seed. When cold
bottle it and tie bladder over the
cork. In three months boil it again
with some fresh spice and it will keep
year. Mushroom ketchup will not
keep if not boiled a second time.
A soft-boiled egg, according to nine
cooks out of ten, is put on in boiling
water and allowed to remain from two
to two and half minutes. Eggs in
tended to be hard boiled also go in
boiling water. and stay from ten to
fifteen minutes. The new reading has
changed all this. The modern cooking
teacher says that when the water is
allowed to boil the egg is tough, horny,
and indigestble To cook eggs soft.

in cold water, which is brought to a
temperature of IT'S degrees Fahrenheit,
and allowed to stand in this water from
six to eight minutes. For hard-boiled
eggs. put in cold water. bring to IT'S
degrees Fahrenheit, then set back from
the fire and keep hot forty-five min
utes. Cooked in this way, the albumen
is reduced to a jelly-like substance,
easily digested and the yolks are dry
and mealy.
