*Creamed Fish in Scallop Shells
Rolls
Pan Broiled Lamb Chops
Mashed Potatoes
Green Corn
Steamed Apple Pudding, Foamy Sauce

In 1914 July 16 was a Thursday.

I made the Creamed Fish in Scallop Shells. You can watch the process below!

The verdict was, easy to make, not bad, although a little bland, a good way to use up leftover fish.

In 1914 July 10 was a Friday. Of course, we have fish!

Yesterday we had Veal Steaks with Tomato Sauce; today Veal Tomato Bisque. It’s possible that the veal stock was made with the bones of yesterday’s meat.
