Mock Bisque Soup
Croûtons
Chicken Croquettes
Creamed Peas
Dinner Rolls
Fruit Salad, *Los Angeles Dressing
Wafer Crackers

In 1914 December 8 was a Tuesday.

The Chicken Croquettes are probably made from leftovers from yesterday’s boiled fowl

There are a couple of recipes for fruit salad intended to be served as a salad rather than a dessert, like this one or this one.

Savory Chicken, Potato Border
Dinner Rolls
Dressed Lettuce
Cheese Balls
*Marmalade Sandwiches
Coffee Jelly, Whipped Cream

In 1914 October 17 was a Saturday.

Savory Chicken is another mystery. I’ve found Savory Oysters,Savory Potatoes, and Savory Finnan Haddie, but there aren’t enough similarities to extrapolate a chicken recipe.

I’m guessing the cheese balls were served on the dressed lettuce. Maybe?

*Chicken en Casserole
Riced Potatoes
Baked Macaroni au Gratin
Lettuce and Radish Salad
Orange Jelly
Chocolate Nut Wafers

In 1914 October 1 was a Thursday.

Since au gratin means “with browned crumbs”, the regular Baked Macaroni dish counts.

The recipe I found is for Chocolate Walnut Wafer, but presumably you can use any nut you want.

*Cream of Cauliflower Soup
Cheese Crackers

In 1914 September 15 was a Tuesday.

I don’t know if the Cheese Crackers are cheese-flavored crackers or crackers to be served with cheese.

Continuing September’s theme, we have another tomato dish. Five so far this month.

Mushroom Soup
Chicken à la Providence
Duchess Sweet Potatoes

In 1914 September 6 was a Sunday.

There isn’t a recipe for Duchess Sweet Potatoes. I assume you make Duchess Potatoes with sweet potatoes.
