Skim your soup-stock. Heat and boil it for ten minutes. Strain off two quarts, and return the rest to the stock-jar. Parboil a small cauliflower; clip it into small clusters, and drop into the soup when you have brought it again to a boil. Cook slowly fifteen minutes. Stir in a tablespoonful of butter cut up in half as much flour. Season to taste; boil up fairly, and serve.
Trim off skin and fat; rub all over with a mixture of powdered sage and onion. Put a small piece of butter into a frying-pan; put in the chops, and cook rather slowly, as they should be well done. Lay the chops upon a hot dish; add a little hot water to the gravy in the pan; a great spoonful of butter rolled in flour; pepper, salt, and sugar, and half a cup of juice drained from a can of tomatoes—keeping the tomatoes themselves for a tomato omelette for breakfast. Stew five minutes, and pour over the chops.
Wash; cut off the tops; boil more than an hour; scrape. Cut into round slices, and put into a root-dish. Pour over them a tablespoonful of butter, heated with as much vinegar, and seasoned with pepper and salt.
Mash soft with butter, salt, and milk. Beat light with two eggs (for a large dish). Heat in a greased saucepan, stirring all the while, until quite stiff. Let it get cold; make into croquettes; roll in raw egg, then in cracker-crumbs, and fry to a nice brown in plenty of dripping. Drain off the fat, and serve.
