That helps to make our earth an Eden Like Heaven above. Two Good Friends. TXt Oysterpuff—bid ; you hear that young Dr. Bitterdose has made his mark already? > r -• * - Fogg—Why, that’s; extraordinary! Oysterpuff—Not so very* You see, he vaccinated a baby.. With Strawberry Jam— You can add interest to many a dessert with a jar of strawberry jam. Floating island, for instance. Fish out a strawberry, soft and sweet from the jam to place in the cen ter of each island. Rice pudding: put a spoon of strawberry jam on each serving of the pudding. Bread pudding: spread the pud ding with strawberry jam, add a meringue, brown in the oven, and serve hot or cold. Cream cheese: make a delicious dessert of it by serving it with crisp crackers and strawberry jam. Any other sort of jam will do, of course, but strawberry seems to fit in so far as flavor is concerned with all these desserts. Oh—you can gild fine gold and paint the lily by adding a dab of strawberry jam to each glass des sert dish of home-made vanilla ice cream. It’s good. “Yum-yum,” the chil dren say about it. Fried Oysters— Drain, clean and dry the oysters. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pep per, dip in flour, egg and cracker or stale bread crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Drain on brown paper. Serve on a hot, folded napkin, garnish with parsley and lemon. Fried oysters should be served im mediately. It is better not to be gin frying until they are wanted than to delay serving. Rice Au Gratin— 1- 2\ cup minced onion. 1 clove of garlic, minced. 2- 3 cup chopped green pepper (no seeds). 2 cups canned tomatoes. 3- 4 cup rice. 1 tablespoon minced parsley. 2 tablespoons butter. 3-4 cup grated American cheese. Salt and pepper. Wash rice and parboil in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain. Melt butter, add onion, garlic and green pepper and saute until tend er without browning. Add tpma- toes and when boiling stir in the parboiled rice and simmer until rice is tender, adding salt to taste when half done. Turn into but tered baking dish and cover top with cheese. Brown in moderate oven. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once. ( \ Broiled Oysters— Take two dozen large oysters, cleaned, drained and dried in a soft cloth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt two ounces butter in a large frying pan, lay in one doz en, as soon as the last one is in, turn the first one and when all have been turned begin taking out; laying them closely on a large but tered oyster broiler; cook to a light brown over moderate fire. While these are browning the other dozen may be “set” in the butter. Have six rounds of toast on a hot platter; put four oysters ^n each, sprinkle on the butter in which they were stiffened and serve with lemon cut in eighths. IT’S THE SAUCE Here are some good sauces to use with various sorts of fish: Parsley Sauce— Melt two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, stir in three table spoons of flour and cook for a few seconds. Add a cup of water in which fish has been boiled or plain water and stir until it simmers for a time and then add salt and pep per and a tablespoon of chopped parsley, but do not allow the pars ley to cook. Tartare Sauce— This is a favorite with fried fish. To make it mix a tablespoon of chopped sour cucumber pickle and a half teaspoon of finely chopped shallot or onion with a cup of may onnaise. Shrimp Sauce— Make a cup of white sauce of me dium thickness. Add to this a half cup of cooked shrimps, a teaspoon of anchovy essence and a quarter teaspoon of lemon juice. Sardine Sauce— This is made by making a sauce from a cup and a haH of stncfc- q. tablespoon and a half of butted and a half tablespoon of tiouu. Bone, skin and chop three canned sardines. Add to the sauce. Sea son with a little lemon, salt and pepper. Trespass Notice.
