Milk Toast Recipe

Put on in a double boiler two cups of milk, one tablespoonful of butter,

salt to your own taste, and allow to come to a boil. Have ready four

squares of nicely browned toast, put in a hot vegetable dish, pour over

the milk, clap on the cover, and serve at once. Some people like the

milk thickened with a teaspoonful of flour that has first been moistened

with a little cold milk, but I prefer it without.

Every housekeeper should impress on her young daughter the importance of

keeping on hand a small quantity of canned goods to provide for the

unexpected guest, and this should include sardines, salmon, shrimps,

lobster, French peas, olives and orange marmalade. These things will all

keep for months in a cool place, yet are indispensable in an emergency.

The can of shrimps, opened and placed in cold water for a little while,

will taste as good as the fresh, and the salmon, with the skin and bones

removed, will be ready on short notice to be served in a number of ways.
