Poached eggs, Martha. On top of four pieces of toast put some lobster croquette preparation in a layer about one-quarter of an inch thick, put a piece of butter on top of each, and bake in oven. Put a poached egg on top and cover with cream sauce.
Noodles, Polonaise. On a large platter put one pound of plain boiled noodles. In a frying pan put one-quarter pound of butter, and one-half cup of fresh bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown, and pour over the noodles.
Consommé Colbert. Equal parts of carrots, turnips, peas, string beans, cauliflower, and flageolet beans. Cut the carrots and turnips in small squares. Boil the cauliflower and cut off the small flowers. Then put all in hot consommé, with one poached egg to each person. Add a little chopped chervil before serving.
Broiled Alaska candlefish. As this fish is very oily it is better broiled. Season with salt and pepper, and serve on platter, with plenty of lemon and parsley in branches.
Sweetbreads, Théodora. Split four large sweetbreads, fill with chicken forcemeat, and braise them. Serve with sauce Madère, and garnish with stuffed fresh mushrooms.
Fruit cake (white). One pound each of butter, sugar and flour, one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, ten eggs, one-quarter pound of currant sultana raisins, one pony of rum, and one-quarter pound of chopped glacé fruits. Work the butter and the sugar together until creamy, then add the eggs two by two, and work well, then add the rum, and finally the flour, baking powder and fruit. Mix lightly, and bake in a buttered pan lined with paper.
