Boiled Corn.
See Thursday, Fourth Week in June.
Bean Salad.
Cut the beans into inch-lengths, pile in a salad-dish and pour upon them such a dressing as you compounded for the raw tomatoes on Friday of Second Week in July. Garnish with curled lettuce.
Orange Snow.
4 large sweet oranges, all the juice, and the grated peel of one; juice and half the grated peel of 1 lemon; 1 package of Coxe’s gelatine soaked in a cup of cold water; whites of 4 eggs, whipped stiff; 1 large cup of white sugar; 3 cups of boiling water.
Mix the juice, and peel of the fruit with the soaked gelatine, also the sugar. Leave them covered for one hour, then pour on the boiling water and stir clear. Strain through flannel, wringing hard. When quite cold, whip in the frothed whites very gradually until the mixture is a white sponge. Put into a wet mould on Saturday, and set on the ice.
Iced Tea and Cake.
Set the tea aside after breakfast in a pitcher, or bottle, which you can keep in ice. When you serve it, half fill each glass with ice, put in more sugar than you would use for hot tea, and pour on the cold liquid.
