December 31

12-31

Chicken Pie
Curried Rice
Steamed Squash
*Frozen Tomato Salad
Cheese Wafers
Fig Pudding, Wine Sauce

In 1914 December 31 was a Thursday. And this is the last menu of the year.

The Curried Rice comes from a new (to me) source, The Boston Cooking-School Magazine, specifically the January 1902 issue. I may be able to find more of the missing recipes from the past year there.

In honor of the end of the year and the end of this project, I present Frozen Tomato Salad!

Potato Soup
Salmon Timbales, Rice Border
*Hollandaise Sauce
Creamed Peas
Chutney Salad
Cassava Bread
Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese
Assorted Nuts
Café Noir

In 1914 November 20 was a Friday. And once again, fish.

Today is Scratch’s birthday! Since he was the one who started this whole project, we should definitely celebrate!

However, this is not the menu I would choose for him at all. There’s no real dessert! And several of the recipes are complete mysteries. I found a recipe for Chutney Salad Dressing, but not salad. There’s one for Mock Cassava Bread (made with white bread), but not the actual bread. Maybe we have the celebratory dinner in a couple of days…

Cream of Pea Soup
Croûtons
Beef Pie
*Escalloped Cabbage
Moulded Rice, Wine Sauce

In 1914 November 3 was a Tuesday.

I think the Moulded Rice is just that — hot rice pressed into a form. No recipe has appeared yet. I guess the addition of wine sauce makes it dessert.

Broiled Porterhouse Steak
Baked Sweet Potatoes
*Hominy and Horseradish Croquettes
Pear Salad
Cream Wafers
Steamed Rice with Raisins, Sherry Sauce

In 1914 October 8 was a Thursday.

I will presume the recipe for Steamed Rice with Raisins is the same as Steamed Rice with  Strawberry Sauce, except you add some raisins and don’t make the strawberry sauce.

I’m surprised that I haven’t been able to find a recipe for Peach Ice Cream.

*Chicken Hollandaise
Rice Timbales
Corn Salad
Toasted Fromage Rolls
Caramel Tapioca Cream
Devil’s Food Cake
Coffee

In 1914 May 25 was a Monday.

Chicken Hollandaise is made with cold chicken leftover from Sunday’s dinner.

I haven’t found the recipe yet for Caramel Tapioca Cream. I did find plain Tapioca Cream, which is where the link goes.
