Corn Soup
Crisp Crackers
Creamed Halibut
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.

*Mock Sweetbreads, Tomato Sauce
Riced Potatoes
Succotash
Watercress Salad
Dream Sandwiches
Peach Cottage Pudding, Cream Sauce

In 1914 August 24 was a Monday.

It’s interesting that veal was a cheaper meat than sweetbreads that it was worth it to make basically tiny meatloaves instead of serving real sweetbreads.

*Veal Cutlets, Horseradish Sauce
Riced Potatoes
Succotash
Lettuce and Tomato Mayonnaise
Steamed Blueberry Pudding, Creamy Sauce

In 1914 August 19 was a Wednesday.

I am presuming the salad is lettuce dressed with tomato mayonnaise and not a lettuce and tomato salad with mayonnaise dressing.
