Sausages.
The proper seasoning is salt, pepper, eago, summer-savory, or thyme;
they should be one-third fat, the remainder lean, finely chopped, and the
seasoning well mixed, and proportioned so that one lierb may not pre¬
dominate over the others. If skins arc used, they cannot be prepared
with too much care; but they are about as well made into cakes; spread
the cakes on a clean, white wood board, and keep them in a dry, cool
place; fry them loug and gently.
Beefsteak and Onion*.
Cut the stcak3 about three-quarters of an inch thick; put n good lump
of dripping or lard into your pan, and when it is hot lay in the steaks;
turn t lienf frequently, so' that they may not burn; let' them be nicely
browned all over, and when cooked lay them in
я
hot dish before the fire ;
meantime have in readiucss a platoful of onions, sliced very thin, and
sprinkled with pepper and salt; put them into the pan, ami lay a dish
over them to keep in the steam; turn them about, amt let them lie cooked
thoroughly. They will require a long time; they should be soft and
brown; when done, pour them over the steaks and serve up hot.
To Wank FIiumeEs.
Wash them in warm water, rather above hike-warm, in which the soap
has been boiled or dissolved, and not rub the soap upon the woolen.
Rinse them thoroughly in water rather hotter than that in which they
have been washed ; this removes the soap from the material, instead of
allowing
Ц
to remain and get hard, as it does If the last water is not de¬
cidedly hotter than the first. This plan will also be found to succeed per¬
fectly with fleecy or Berlin wool; but then we generally wring the diller-
ent articles or skeins by twisting them up in aliuen cloth, so as to avoid
straining the wool, and do not dry them too quickiv. But the important
point is certainly getting them 'thoroughly free from the soap, which
would „otherwise thicken and stiffen in the fine pores of the wool.
