Roasted Hamburg Steak
Maître d’Hôtel Potatoes
Mashed Squash
Cucumber Boxes
Water Thins

In 1914 September 19 was a Saturday.

I’m guessing Cucumber Boxes are like Cucumber Cups, only cut square.

Creole Soup
Brown Crackers
*Broiled Kidneys
Paprika Potato Cubes
Green Corn
Cream of Rice Pudding

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.

Oyster Cocktails
Roast Leg of Lamb, Brown Gravy
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.

Corn Soup
Crisp Crackers

Pimiento Ribbons
Quick Dinner Biscuits
Cucumber Boats, *Sauce Tartare
Peach Cottage Pudding, Foamy Sauce

In 1914 September 12 was a Saturday. Here’s the fish I thought we would have had on Friday. I’m guessing that Creamed Halibut is the same recipe as Creamed Fish in Scallop Shells, just in a baking dish.

Salt Codfish, Pork Scraps
Drawn Butter Sauce
Boiled Potatoes
Beets, Sauce Piquante
*Good Luck Salad
Butter Thins
Apple Tapioca Pudding

In 1914 September 4 was a Friday so of course there’s fish.

This is the second day in a row we’ve had Apple Tapioca Pudding.

The recipe for cream French dressing looks like you would end up with seasoned, curdled cream, so I checked A New Book of Cookery, from which the Good Luck Salad came. After the salt, pepper, and lemon juice, it calls for four tablespoons of olive oil and three tablespoons of cream, which makes a lot more sense. I’m guessing this was just a typesetting error on the card.
