An old custom of the new year has been revived—making calls. Folks now visit about on New Year's Day very much in the same way as grandma entertained and kept open house on this day.
To serve on New Year's visits:
| Celery | Olives |
| Pimento Sandwiches | |
| Baked Ham Sandwiches | |
| Celery and Cheese Sandwiches | |
| Tea, Coffee or Cocoa | |
Other folks will prefer to entertain with a New Year's dinner. Perhaps this will give a suggestion:
| Oysters on Half Shell | |
| Celery | |
| Ye Olde-tyme Vegetable Soup | |
| Boiled Fish | Egg Sauce |
| Baked Ham | Champagne Style Sauce |
| Browned Potatoes | Peas |
| Coleslaw | |
| Mince or Apple Pie | Coffee |
| Nuts | Raisins |
COD BASSLANO
The serving of a fish entree with the Sunday dinner gives just the right zest to the meal. Select two slices of cod or other sliced fish. Cut into small fillets and season and then roll in flour. Dip in beaten egg and then roll in fine bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown in hot fat and serve with tartare sauce.
ROAST LOIN OF PORK
Select a five- or six-pound cut and have the butcher remove the entire chine bone. Wipe and place in a baking pan and pat in one cup of flour. Core one apple for each service and place meat in the hot oven. Let brown and then reduce the heat and allow one-half hour for the meat to the pound to cook in a moderate oven. Baste with boiling water.
