Mashed Potatoes.
Prepare as usual, whipping light with a fork, and heaping upon a hot dish.
Stewed Egg-plant.
Soak and stuff as directed on Thursday, Fourth Week in August, but instead of baking it, put on in a cupful of your soup-stock, and stew, closely covered, one hour, or until very tender. Take up and keep hot in a deep dish. Stir a lump of butter rolled in flour into the gravy; boil up and pour over the egg-plant.
