BROWNED BREAD CRUMBS.
Grate into fine crumbs, about five or six ounces of stale bread, and brown them in a gentle oven or before the fire; this is a more delicate way of browning them than by frying.

CRISPED PARSLEY.
Wash and drain a handful of fresh young sprigs of parsley, dry them with a cloth, place them before the fire on a dish, turn them frequently, and they will be perfectly crisp in ten minutes.

When the parsley is prepared as above, fry it in butter or clarified suet, then drain it on a cloth placed before the fire.
