In making the rice pudding this
week, just for a change and to tickle
Wash well half pound of dates and
stone them. Chop fine and add to the
usual plain rice pudding. Dates are
nourishing and all boys like them. In
making the usual dish of corn
starch, which is bound to appear on
the table of all growing children once
in so often, try this: In place Of the
usual amount of sugar added to it,
sweeten with cup of maple sirup,
and the boys are sure to call for
more"
Banana croquettes-This is nour-
| ishing dish, easily prepared at few
| minutes notice Peel and scrape ripe
bananas. Cut each one in two pieces
and cut off the sharp end, making
them look like a croquette. Roll them
in chopped nuts of any kind-either
| peanuts, hickory or walnuts. Lay on
a leaf of lettuce and serve with a
| little French dressing containing a
great deal of olive oil. This Is q splen-
did luncheon dish for the hungry
schoolboy
Roast veal and ham-Purchase two
medium thick veal outlets, rather
small in circumference. On one of
| them place a thick slice of ham and
cover with the other cutlet-just as
| you would make sandwich. Place
in roasting pan and cook in hot
| oven at first to scar the meat, then
reduce the heat to moderation. Basic
frequently. The gravy of this dish is
delicious and the flavor of the meat
combination is sure to appeal to the
boys of the family.
Meat loaf-Pass through the chop
per sufficient cold meat of any kind,
| veal, beef, chicken or lamb, to make
three cupfuls when packed. Season
very highly. Add teaspoonful of Gel
cry seed, and some onion juice, and
| finally half cup of stale bread
crumbs, teaspoon of chopped parsley
and two well-beaten eggs. Pack into
loaf and place on shallow but
tered pan. With a wooden skewer make
holes along the top of the loaf and in
sert strips of fat salt pork, allowing
the pork to project about half an inch
above the surface, and be sure to pack
the meat firmly back around it. Bake
in quick oven about three-quarters
of an hour, set aside to cool and serve
| in slices very cold with relishes of
pickles or catsup. This makes a splen-
did and substantial luncheon dish for
| the boys.
| Indian tapioca pudding of the
boys are tired of the old-fashioned In
dian pudding that grandmother used
to make, but this is sure to please
them. Soak five tablespoonfuls of tap
ioca for two hours in water enough to
cover it. Pour four cups of scalded
milk over four tablespoons of Indian
meal with three-quarters of a cup of
molasses. Add half teaspoon of salt
and cook in double boiler for 90 min
utes, stirring occasionally. Add the
tapioca, which should be drained free
from all water, and three tablespoons
Of butter. Turn all out into buttered
baking dish and pour over it one cup
of cold milk, but do not stir it through.
Bake in very slow oven, from an
hour to an hour and half Serve hot
with thin cream.
