MUSH. W. R. C.

To three quarts of boiling water, add salt to taste. Stir in

gradually sufficient corn meal to make it quite thick. Boil slowly

one hour. Stir often, and beat well; that will make it light and

smooth. Eat with cream, milk, and butter, or syrup. To fry when

cold, cut in thin slices, and fry in lard and butter, mixed.

Fry slices of bacon; remove the meat; drop in the mush by spoonfuls,

and fry delicate brown.

GERMICELLI. MRS. W. H. ECKHART.

Stir germicelli into two quarts of boiling water until as thick as

mush; add salt. Boil five or ten minutes, stirring constantly. Just

before serving, you can stir in a cup of sweet milk, if you wish.

When cold, slice, and fry same as corn mush.

of sweet milk, a little salt. Beat the whites very stiff; stir in one

quart of flour, and the whites, half and half, with one teaspoonful of

baking powder. In a tablespoonful of batter, place a slice of nice
