Cucumbers.
Peel and lay in ice-water one hour. Slice; put upon a lump of ice in a salad-dish, and season to taste upon saucers after they are helped out.
Almond Corn-Starch Blanc-Mange.
1 quart of milk; 4 tablespoonfuls of corn-starch; 3 eggs; ¼ lb. almonds, blanched, dried, and pounded; rose-water and bitter almond; ¾ cup of powdered sugar.
Scald the milk, with a pinch of soda stirred in. Have the almonds beaten to a paste with a teaspoonful of rose-water, and stir into the hot milk. Simmer five minutes; then strain through thin muslin, pressing hard upon the almonds. Add this, hot, to the beaten eggs and sugar; put upon the fire, and stir in, with the eggs, the corn-starch wet up in cold milk, never taking the spoon out until it is thick. Take off; flavor, and pour into a wet mould. Set in ice, and it will soon form. Eat with sugar and cream.
