A Bright Woman Memoirs

of questions which she presented 20

What To Serve In Summer
Instead of a Meat Diet

long enough to brown delicately, drain
carefully, dust with powdered sugar
and serve very hot.
Instead of Meat.
A good substitute for meat for
summer luncheon or dinner entree ia
stuffed cucumbers. Select large ones
and after peeling cook gently until
tender. Cut in halves lengthwise, re-
move pulp and seeds, and mix what
is taken out with a little minced
onion, half a cup of additional cucum-
Der, half a cup of nut meats, beaten
white of one egg, salt and pepper.
Fill the shells-that is, the firm white
part which has been cut in half and
cooked-with the mixture. Cover
with crumbs and butter and baka
brown.
A pretty way to serve cucumber
salad that makes it refreshing to look
upon for a hot day is thiswise: Cut
some of medium size across with the
length, carefully remove the inside
Mix this with French dressing nicely
favored, add bits of green sweet pep.
per or of tomato and serve in the lie
filled shells on cress or lettuce leaves.
This formula for stuffed fresh to-
matoes is an appetizing one, which diff.
fers quite a little from those generally
given: Do not peel the fruit, but
having selected nice firm ones, cut O.
slice from the blossom end of each.
Scoop out the soft part and mix this
with an equal amount of bread
crumbs, a very little chopped onion.
sprinkling of salt, pepper if you like
it and an egg beaten up. Stuff the to-
mato skins and bake in pan, the bot
tom of which is covered with hot
water. Basic from time to time with
melted butter in a little hot water.
In Pear Season.
When luscious summer pears begiu
to play their part among the good
things, it is well to remember that
these make piquant and easily pre-
pared salad. Peel some ripe ones,
allowing one large pear for each two
diners, cut them in half and drop each
as it is peeled into ice water to pre-.
vent blackening Chop a cup of Eng.
fish walnuts by putting them through
the meat cutter. When ready to servs
wipe the pears, remove the cores, if
this has not been done while peeling
them, fill the little hollows with the
nuts, and after placing each half on q
little mound of lettuce, sprinkle with
French dressing. Serve with toasteI
crackers.
In fact, salad plays a leading part
in all menus just now and is suscept-
ible of all the variations of the scale.
For instance, here is a spicy combina-
ton which the man of the house will
relish from time to time. Chop some
fresh, crisp cabbage quite fine, and
mix it with mayonnaise. Either add
thereto some bits of fresh red peppec,
serving the mixture on lettuce leaves.
or hollow out some red peppers AMI
cut in half lengthwise, and fill the
combination into the peppers. Place
each scarlet cup on crisp green lettuce
and put a tuft of mayonnaise on top.
Another most unusual one is where
lresh tomato is combined with ordin-
airy American cheese. Peel one or two
nice tomatoes and slice them thick.
Shave the cheese very thin. Between
each two slices of tomato have a silica
OF cheese. The sandwich thus form.
ed makes each portion. It is placed
on lettuce and finished with French
dressing.

Corn custards at this time of year

Cottage pudding when offered at

Directions for Cooking by Flreless

Method.
The directions for cooking by this
method are few and simple but must
be carefully followed If they are
there is no such thing as failure.
The method of procedure is the
same whether a sanitary cooker or q
home made" cooker is used.
All the cereals except the very
coarse ones, such as big hominy and
cracked wheat, (Which requires lit
tie longer), must be brought to the
boiling point and kept there for four
or five minutes before placing in the
cooker The rule applies to the
smaller vegetables, dried fruits, rice
sage, tapioca and like foods.
The larger vegetables, as cabbage
and caulihower, require few minutes
longer over the fuel; beets require
fifteen minutes before putting in the
cooker.
All meats must be heated through
then boiled rapidly for a few minutes
before consigning to the ireless box.
Fresh meat should have boiling
water poured over it to harden the
fibres and retain the juices.
Place salt meats over the fuel in
cold water as usual.
AS no evaporation takes place, less
liquid is required.
An excellent rich soup stock is made
by using one pint of water to one
pound of meat.
If cooking two foods at a time, the
upper vessel can be quickly removed
and another substituted without inter-
fering in the least with the cooking of
the food below.
When cooking one article of food,
place boiling water in the other vessel.
Always place the slower cooking yes.

filled with boiling water.
The coarse cereals and meats are

specified time. If by chance any art
icle of food is taken out before being
cooked it must be brought to a boil.
ing point again before replacing in the
fireless cooker.
A large piece of meat should boil
over the fire long enough to be hot TO
the center.
Always transfer the dish of cooking
food from the stove to the freless
cooker as quickly as possible that no
heat may be lost.
Rice and Rasins.
