Hasty Farina Pudding.
- 1 quart of milk.
- 4 tablespoonfuls (heaping) of farina, previously soaked in a little cold water for one hour.
- 1 tablespoonful of butter.
- 1 teaspoonful of salt.
- 2 eggs, beaten.
Scald the milk; stir in the salt, then the soaked farina, and cook steadily (always in a farina-kettle) three quarters of an hour. Add the butter; take a cupful of the boiling mixture, and beat into the whipped eggs. Put back into the saucepan, stir for two minutes and pour into a deep, open dish. Eat with milk, or cream, and sugar.
First Week. Wednesday.
Baked Soup.
- 2 lbs. of lean beef, cut into dice.
- 3 stalks of blanched celery.
- 2 turnips.
- Handful of chopped cabbage.
- 1 onion.
- 1 carrot.
- 2 roots of salsify, cut small.
- Chopped parsley.
- ½ cup of rice, previously boiled for fifteen minutes.
- ½ can of tomatoes, cut up.
- Pepper and salt.
- 1 quart cold water.
Prepare beef and vegetables early in the day; mix all up well, and put into a strong earthenware jar, with a good cover of the same material. Coat this top thickly with a stiff paste of flour and water to exclude the air, and set in the oven for six hours. Once in a while, grease the paste to prevent it from scorching or cracking. It is also well to set the jar in a dripping or bake pan of boiling water. Serve without straining.
