or all the leftover remnants Of food
from the kitchen bread is the most
common. perhaps. and many pieces are
daily thrown away which q little
thought would turn to excellent use. II
the leftover pieces are not utilized the
same day. an excellent plan is to wrap
them in pieces Of waxed paper and
store them in stone jar. They will
keep well for a week in this way.
Dried Crumbs for Stuffino and Meat
Fryino.-Put the crusts and small
pieces in n baking pan and dry in the
oven without burning. They may then
be put through the food chopper and
stored in clean Mason jars until want
ed. They may be used as n basis for
meat croquettes. poultry stuffing and
other things.
French toast may be made from the
whole slices Of leftover bread, It is
an excellent luncheon pickup dish.
Beat an egg and add little milk. Dip
the slices of bread in this and fry a
nice brown in hot drippings. Serve
with butter, Jelly or marmalade.
Bread custard Puddina.-Cut the
bread in dainty shapes and butter lib
orally. Make a piaih custard Of eggs,
milk and sugar. Put In baking dish
and float the buttered bread on top.
Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and bake
in quick oven until brown. This is
excellent.
To make croutons for the various
soups so much relished in season, cut
the bread in cubes and fry in butter or
dripping just before serving with the
soup. Add five or six to each plate of
soup. These are delicious with almost
any soup.
Bread Jelly for InvaIids.-Scald the
stale bread freed from crusts. Mash
to paste until Of mushlike consisten-
cy. Add a little sugar and flavoring,
mold. chill and serve with cream.
Sterilized bread crumbs are epecial.
ly valuable for the young children in
the household. A jar should be kept
filled with these. They may be heated
when wanted md sprinkled in soft
eggs. soups. milk. fruit juices and, in
deed. anything eaten by very young
children where fresh bread is often
positively dangerous.
Dried bread Is also valuable for mix
ing with various other foods for feed
