Boiled Leg of Mutton.
Put on in plenty of boiling water, a little salt. Cook fifteen minutes to the pound. When done, wipe dry and rub all over with butter. Make a boat of drawn butter, using as a base a cup of the strained pot-liquor, and, when made, add a great spoonful of chopped cucumber pickle.
Of course you will pour the pot-liquor into the stock-jar.
Mashed Turnips.
Pare, quarter, and cook the turnips tender in boiling salted water. Mash in a hot colander; add butter, pepper, and salt, and serve in a hot dish.
Stewed Tomatoes.
See Thursday, Second Week in November.
Stuffed Potatoes.
Bake large potatoes soft, and cut a round piece from the top of each. Scrape out the insides carefully and mash smooth with butter, cream, and a little grated cheese.
Beat soft with milk, season with pepper and salt, and heat in a greased saucepan, stirring all the time. Fill the skins with the mixture, put on the caps and set in the oven for three minutes. Serve upon a dish lined with a napkin.
