CHICKEN, AND AGAIN CHICKEN
Ideas of What Should Constitute
Perfect Menu.

Speaking of fried chicken, hot bis
cult, and peach cobbler," said the Con-
federate veteran, you may recall Gen.
Robert E. Lees famous dictum:
Bring me fried chicken. Not one
fried chicken, not two fried chickens.
Just fried chicken-unlimited fried
chicken
Corn fritters and sweet potatoes
are a part of fried chicken in my opin-
ion.
Some people lay great stress on
the hot biscuit casualty list, but J am
willing to take two dozen risks at a
sitting in case the biscuit is small,
fiaky, white inside like snow, hot, with
plenty of firm, prime butter.
Peach cobbler is best served in a
soup bowl, and it should nearly fill the
bowl. There should be always a pitch
er of sauce favored with vanilla, wine,
and highly sweetened
The sauce never has enough wine
in it. To overcome this defect pour
quantity of the sauce over the cobbler
and then add wine glass full of old
Burgundy.

brown sugar, pint of vinegar, a hand
full each of cloves, cinnamon and all
spice tied In bags; cook until tender

Picked Nasturtiums.-The pun
geant flavor of the nasturtium seed is

soak in weak vinegar twenty-four
hours, then drain. Heat the vinegar
with mixed spices, a tablespoonful OF
sugar and a few pieces of ginger root;
add salt, pack the seeds in jars and
pour over the vinegar and seal.
Spiced Pears.-Make a strip Of a
quart of sugar and cup of vinegar,

ly. The vinegar should not be so
strongly acid that it eats the pickle
Vinegar may be reduced by adding a
small amount OF water to 1t, and It
will be just as satisfactory and much
more wholesome for the stomach.
