The suggestive menus given will admit of variation according to the
season and circumstances.
Nut, olive or cooking oil with salt; nut butter of any kind; or cream,
may be used instead of dairy butter.
Macaroni baked in cream sauce left from dinner may be heated and served
for the next morning’s breakfast with the addition of tomato or more
milk.
Where the two pies are served for dessert, two small pieces should be
served on one plate. They introduce to the guests two kinds of crust
without lard, and mince pie without meat.
When a hearty soup or dessert are on the menu the other dishes of the
meal may be lighter.
Dainty dishes and spotless linen, will have much to do in fitting for
that city which has foundations of precious stones and the paving of
whose streets is gold.
