PEAS.
BY Louis Role

~.
We have reached the season Of spring
dishes. With our ample markets the
seasons have advanced so That thus
early peas are hardly rarity in most
families. The cooking of peas in length
Of time depends upon the peas them
selves. The fresher they are the less
time for cooking is a general rule.
Never salt peas until they are cooked.
Salt put in the, boiling water makes
them hard. A pinch OF sal soda may be
put in and aids in keeping the color.
MiNpy of the best cooks adopt this
method and they also use the soda in
the cooking of dandelions, spinach and
othdr green's and also in boiling cab
baGk.
although peas are ordinarily cooked
f1one, as a Side dish, for dinner. they
hmay be combined with other vegetables
and with meat with good results. You
will have a very desirable dish IL you
cook green peas and carrots together.
Get some Of the small, new carrots you
will find in the markets at this season
OF the year, scrape them and boil for
ten minutes in sailed water. Drain
them, cut into quarter inch dice, put
Into a sauce pan with the shelled peas,
and boil together in just enough water
to cover them. Add butter, salt and
pepper when taking from the FIRE.
Another nice combination that will
please lovers of peas is to dice new po-
totaes. boil in sailed water for about
FIVE minutes and then cook them with
the peas as you do the carrots.
Here are some other combinations
that will be timely.

quart of young potatoes. scrapsd.
Cover the pot, aud let it boil for half
an hour longer; work quarter OF a
pound of butter, and dessertspoonful
of flour together, and add them to the
soup ten or twelve minutes before TAX
ing 1t off the FIRE. Serve soup in a tu-
reen, and the meat with parsley sauce
