ter, an even tablespoonful of flour, brown them to-
gether in a spider, add two heaping tablespoonfuls
of chopped walnuts and let them brown a little, then

I’m facing separation and we’re both really positive about it but I just started laughing when I realized that we have to divide our spices. We both like to cook but here I am thinking, “The cinnamon is nearly full. I hope I get it. I’ll even let him have the basil AND herbes de provence if I can get the cinnamon.”

Select a nice white cauliflower, take off all the
leaves, and cut enough of the stem off to allow it to
stand well in the dish it is to be served in. Put it into
a saucepan, cover with boiling water, and when it is
nearly done add salt, as cooking it long with salt
turns it brown. The usual time to cook a cauli-
flower is about twenty minutes. Try it -with a fork,

let it drain in a colander while preparing a drawn
butter. Then put into a hot vegetable dish, pour the

Call me a hippie if you may, but i belive in eating healthy, you know organic foods, nothing that can give you cancer (like sucralose a.k.a Splenda) well anywase i’m only 13 and i go to a waldorf school. Its really changed my perspective on life (i joined in 5th grade) but my parents or vrother won’t listen to me when i try to tell the that fast food plaes are bad, or non-organic strawberries, stuff like that. I don’t know how to get them to listen to me. I get mad at them when my dad does things like buys energy drinks and diet sodas for my brother, or when they get McDonalds because they don’t feel like cooking; then they yell at me because they don’t ike me getting mad at them. i don’t know. but how do i get them to listen to me.

FRENCH CARROTS AND PEAS.

Take a pint of young peas and two bunches of
French carrots, cut in slices or fancy shapes (stars or
clover leaves), cook each vegetable by itself in as little
water as will cook them. When they are both tender
put them together into a saucepan, add a heaping
tablespoonful of butter and half a tablespoonful of
flour rubbed together, and if there is not enough
water left, add enough to make a gravy. Canned
instead of fresh peas may be used ; drain the water
from the peas and stew the carrots in it, and follow-
the recipe as above.

SPINACH PUDDING.

Make a sauce of one ounce and a half of butter,
one ounce of flour, a scant half cup of rich milk, half
a teaspoonful of sugar, a grating of nutmeg, if liked,
and salt and pepper to taste. When this conies to a
boil, add an even cupful of spinach that has been
cooked and finely chopped, and from which the water
has been well pressed out. Remove from the stove,
and stir into it two beaten eggs. Grease a mould,
sprinkle it with dried and sifted bread crumbs, turn
the pudding into this, set the mould in a pan of hot
water, put in the oven, cover it to prevent browning
and bake nearly three-quarters of an hour. Turn
out on a platter, have ready a cream sauce to pour
around the pudding, garnish with hard-boiled eggs,
cut in quarters lengthwise, and parsley. If any is
left over, cut in slices, and warm over in a cream
sauce and serve for luncheon. It will keep for days.

SPINACH BALLS.

Put a slightly heaping tablespoonful of butter,
a tablespoonful of cream, and half a teaspoonful of
sugar into a saucepan on the stove, mix well, and
when it boils add a heaping tablespoonful of flour
as much as will stay on the spoon let it come to a
boil, and then add three-quarters of a cup of cooked
and finely chopped spinach, beat well and remove
from the fire. When cold add two eggs, one at a
time, season with salt and pepper to taste and half a
saltspoonful of powdered mace. Have a saucepan
of boiling water, slightly salted, on the stove ; dip a
tablespoon in cold water, and then take up enough
of the spinach mixture to make an oblong cake, in
shape like an egg cut in half lengthwise, then dip the
spoon in the boiling water and let the cake float off.
Use all the mixture in this way. The balls will cook
in four or five minutes, and they must not boil too
fast or they will break. Let them drain in a colander
while making a cream sauce, and when the sauce is
made put the balls into it and let them come to a
boil, turn out on a platter and garnish with parsley.
