Canned Pea Soup.
As your stock must be running low, add a quart of boiling water to the contents of the jar, and boil slowly at the back of the stove for an hour and a half. Strain, cool, skim, and add a can of green peas. Cook until these are tender; pulp through a colander into the soup, season with pepper and salt, also a lump of white sugar, stir in a lump of floured butter, and when it has boiled once more, pour upon dice of fried bread placed in the tureen.
Beefsteak.
Flatten and broil upon a greased gridiron over a clear fire. Turn as it drips. It should be done in ten or twelve minutes. Lay upon a hot-water dish; pepper, salt, and butter liberally. Cover with another hot dish, or a heated cover of block-tin.

2 heaping tablespoonfuls of Irish oatmeal, soaked two hours in a little cold water; 2 cups of boiling milk; handful of fine crumbs; 2 tablespoonfuls of butter; 1 tablespoonful minced onion; 1 teaspoonful mixed sweet marjoram and parsley; 3 eggs.
