In 1914 February 16 was a Monday.

As frequently happens on Monday, we are eating Sunday leftovers. I like how it specifies that the turkey is cold, but the gravy is hot.

Onion Soup
Roast Spare Ribs, Brown Gravy
Apple Cups
Savory Potatoes
Turnip Cones
*Coupe Moquin
Walnut Wafers

In 1914 February 10 was a Tuesday.

Apple Cups are hollowed-out apples, but usually there’s something to put in them, like salad. There’s no indication what might be in these apple cups.

Coupe Moquin is probably named for restauranteur Henri Mouquin.

For the Walnut Wafers we’re using the Almond Wafer recipe and changing out the nuts.
