In 1914 September 14 was a Monday.

I haven’t found a recipe for Cream of Rice Pudding. I’m guessing it’s a baked pudding made with cream of rice cereal, but I don’t know for sure.

Currant Jelly
*Peas à la Française
Mashed Potatoes
Snow Pudding, Custard Sauce
Toasted Crackers
Pimola Cheese
Café Noir

In 1914 September 13 was a Sunday.

Pimolas are green olives stuffed with pimiento. Presumably Pimola Cheese had olives in it. I’m thinking it was something spreadable, like cream cheese, with chopped olives mixed in, but I don’t know yet.

I made Peas à la Française!

In all the other contemporary recipes, lettuce was added at the end.

Chicken Soup
Imperial Rings
Susette Potatoes
French Fried Potatoes
*Stuffed Onions
Ginger Puff
Foamy Sauce

In 1914 September 11 was a Friday. A rare fishless Friday!

Two kinds of potatoes seems excessive. And we had Susette Potatoes yesterday.

I’m disappointed that I haven’t found the recipe for Ginger Puff. I’m quite intrigued. We’ve had other puffs, like Orange, Raisin, and Blueberry Molasses, before, but they were all a bit different. Some were baked, some were steamed. I can’t really extrapolate the ginger version based on those.
