Winter Squash.
Pare, take out the seeds, cut into strips, and lay in cold water, one hour. Cook in boiling water, a little salt, until very soft. Drain off every drop of water, and mash with a potato beetle, stirring in a large spoonful of butter, and seasoning with pepper and salt. Mound up in a vegetable dish and serve hot.
Apple Snow.
- 6 fine pippins (raw).
- 2 cups of milk.
- 4 eggs.
- 1 cup of powdered sugar.
Make a custard by stirring into the hot milk half the sugar, the yolks of all the eggs, and the white of one, and cooking, stirring constantly until it thickens. Let this cool while you whip the whites to a stiff méringue with the rest of the sugar. Peel the apples, and grate directly into the méringue, stirring in at once that the coating of egg may prevent them from changing color. Put the cold custard in the bottom of a glass dish, and heap the snow upon it. Eat soon after making it.
Tea and Macaroons.
Pass after dinner in the dining-room, or send into the parlor.
