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!
