Buttered Sowens—Oatmeal made into mush and eaten with butter and sugar. The Scotch always have this for their Hallowe'en supper.
Broiled Squirrels—Your squirrels must be young and tender. Clean, and soak to draw out the blood. Wipe dry, and broil over a hot, clear fire, turning often. When done to a golden brown, lay in a hot dish and anoint with melted butter. Season each squirrel with a salt spoon of salt and half spoon of pepper. They are delicious.
Hot Pocketbooks—One pint of sweet milk, brought to boiling point, to which, add one tablespoonful of sugar, half teaspoonful of salt and butter the size of an egg; let cool till luke warm, then add half cake of yeast, two eggs and a quart of flour. Let the dough rise in a warm place until very light, then put down with the hand and let rise again; roll out to about five-eighths of an inch thick, cut in four inch circles, brush with melted butter and fold over; let rise on tins, bake until a delicate brown, then while warm, go over the surface with melted butter to make the crust tender.
Bow-Kail Salad—Put one-half cup of vinegar and one tablespoonful of butter to heat in a double boiler. Beat yolk of one egg, one spoonful of flour and one of sugar together, add two tablespoonfuls of sour cream and cook in the vinegar until smooth. Just before it boils, stir in the well-beaten white and pour immediately over your cabbage or "bow-kail," which has been shredded and salted.
Brownie Cake—One cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, one-half cup of sweet milk, two eggs, one teaspoonful of vanilla, one cup and a half of flour, sifted with one teaspoonful of baking powder. Set one square of chocolate on a kettle of boiling water and let it melt. After melting, mix one-half cup of sweet milk slowly in the chocolate, add half-cup of sugar. Pour into batter, mix thoroughly, and bake in layers. Put together with the following filling:
