CULINARY NOTES.
DRIPPED COFFEE.
How to Prepare and Serve.
Buy the best coffee from the best
concerns you know that make coffee
their specialty.
Grind it medium. Use three-fourths
of a pound of coffee to each gallon of
water. This makes a very strong cof
fee.
Make a bag of ordinary cheese
cloth to extend half way down in urn;
sides double and bottom single thick
ness.
The water then finds its way
through the grounds and bottom of
bag, for if made single on sides it is
easier for the water to run through
without touching the coffee at all
than it is to run through the coffee
and bottom of hag besides, and much
strength is lost thereby.
Dampen the coffee grounds in an
t gate ware can with just enough boil
ing water to thoroughly swell them,
then place them in the bag in urn and
use only fresh boiling, bubbling water
on them; re-pour the coffee through
the grounds five times, remove the
bag and it is ready to serve.
Serve with cream, with a little
whipped cream on top of same.
FILLING FOR SANDWICHES.
Worth Remembering for Picnics and
Tea Parties.
One-half pound of Roquefort cheese,
one-fourth as much butter and half a
teaspoonful of paprika; mix to a
paste with sherry wine. Spread on
wafers or toasted rye bread.
Prunes, chopped with half the quan
tity of English walnut meats, sea
soned with lemon juice and powdered
sugar.
Equal parts of chicken and -ham,
finely minced and seasoned with curry
powder.
Minced hard-boiled egg, one sar
dine to every three, seasoned with
lemon juice.
Equal parts of cold roast beef, cold
roast turkey, boiled ham and tongue,
seasoned with chopped pickles; mix
with mayonnaise dressing.
Cold cooked veal, chopped fine;
hard-boiled eggs; season with tomato
catsup.
Leftover Meats in Bread Cases.
Keep the leftover meats from each
meal, such as bacon, ham, roasts or
stews. Mince the bacon or ham, cut
the other meats into small cubes. Sea
son well. Cook with a little gravy or
water until tender. Make a cream
dressing for this of one tablespoonful
of butter, one tablespoonful flour,
rubbed well together, and one cup of
boiling milk.
Bread Cases.
Take slices of bread about two
inches thicks, cut perfectly square.
Shell out the crumbs, leaving about
one-half inch, or enough to form a
bottom thick enough to hold the mix
ture. Place under a quick fire until j
a light brown. Pill with the meat. I
Decorate with hard-boiled egg and
parsley. Serve immediately.
Bread Pudding.
Take the bread which you have
taken from the cases and to one cup
crumbs allow three of milk, three
eggs, well beaten, retaining two of I
the whites for meringue, three spoon
fuls sugar and one of butter. Bake
in a moderate oven. When pudding
is set, put the whites, well beaten
with a spoonful of powdered sugar,
on it. Return to oven until a rich
brown.
To be demonstrated July 15 at St.
Philip’s Guild Room.—Mrs. J. W. Wal
lace.
COUNCIL BLUFFS.
Mr. Richard R. Harrison gave a re
cital in the A. M. E. church here on
Wednesday night. He is a wonder
ful reader. His audience was delight
ed. He gave several humorous selec
tions and the court scene from “The
Merchant of Venice.” Mr. R. McKin
ley Ward contributed two pleasing
musical numbers to the program.
The following testimonial was giv
en to a servant girl: “This is to certi
fy that the bearer has been in my
service one year less eleven months.
During this time I found her to be
diligent at the back door, temperate
at her work, prompt at excuses, ami
able toward young gentlemen, faithful
to her sweethearts, and honest when
everything was safe under lock and
key.—Sphere.
Passing a swimming pool in a small
city one day two country women read
this sign at the entrance: “Twenty
live thousand Gals. In and Out Every
Hour.” “That’s all nonsense," said
one of the women. “There ain’t that
many women in this whole country.”
In the Garden of Hope grow the
laurels for future victories, the roses
of coming joy, and the lilies of ap
proaching peace.
