HOW TO COOK ONIONS
THEY NEED NOT ALWAYS Be
PLAIN BOILED OR FRIED.
Formula for stufiIng Them With sau-
sage and Eos-varistions In Pre-
pairing Potatoes and cauII-
flower.

The days are here when the average
housewife who must cater for herself
Is put upon her mettle as q marketer.
Onions we always have with US.
and they are excellent in other ways
besides plain boiled or fried. as they
commonly figure In the household
plan. For instance, they can be
stuffed. the sweet Bermuda onions be-
ing specially good for the purpose
Here Is one popular formula:
Large specimens are selected and
boiled until nearly tender. but not
quite So The inside Is taken out
leaving just shell. Mince the part
taken out with three cooked sausages.
a hard-boiled egg, two tablespoonfuls
Of bread crumbs, seasoning as liked.
an ounce Of butter, four drops OF Ia
basco and a little minced parsley.
The shells are filed with this mixture.
cracker crumbs scattered over the top,
tiny bit Of thin bacon is put on
each. after which they are baked 80
minutes, or until agrecably soft.
Potatoes, the dependable, have the
culinary virtue of being infinitely vari-
able For instance. when boiled and
baked and fried they have become
little wearisome and the homely tn
bers are no longer young enough to
carry sauce gracefully, try them
baked with eggs For a moderate
sized dish in this style you will need
four cold-boiIed potatoes and six hard
boiled eggs, all cut in slices about a
fourth Of an inch thick.
Put a layer of the potatoes In the
baking dish, which must be well but
tered. seasoning with salt and pepper.
and cover with q layer Of the eggs.
Repeat this. and pour over the result
two cups Of thin white sauce. Cover
with cracker crumbs soaked In butter
and bake until brown on top.
For those to whose digestions the
sturdy sausage filings would be anath-
ema, this more delicate method may
appeal.
Cook and scoop out the vegetables
as before, but stun with a filing made
of equal parts of chicken (cooked).
soft stale bread crumbs, and the re-
moved part OF the onions This
should be slightly seasoned with salt
and pepper, II liked, and Is to be
moistened with little cream or melt
ed butter. Sprinkle with crumbs
soaked In butter and bake as de-
scribed above.
In cooking caulifower, try simmer
ing It tender In half milk and half
water, It greatly improves the flavor
and appearance Of the flower. After
ward the liquor, which win have
boiled down In the process. for this
vegetable should never be cooked
with the lid on the vessel, may be
thickened with butter and -four. after
which one has tasty sauce with
