Raw Tomatoes.
See receipt for last Monday.
Roasted Potatoes.
Wash fair-sized potatoes and bake on the oven floor until soft to the grasp of thumb and forefinger. Wipe and send to table wrapped in a napkin.
Baked Cherry Dumplings.
1 quart prepared flour.
2 heaping tablespoonfuls of lard.
2 cups fresh milk.
A little salt.
2 cups of stoned cherries.
½ cupful of sugar.
Rub the lard into the salted flour, wet up with the milk; roll into a sheet a quarter of an inch thick; and cut into squares about four inches across. Put two great spoonfuls of cherries in the centre of each; sugar them; turn up the edges of the paste and pinch them together. Lay the joined edges downward, upon a floured baking-pan, and bake half an hour or until browned. Eat hot with a good sauce.
