I don’t know if the Cheese Crackers are cheese-flavored crackers or crackers to be served with cheese.
Continuing September’s theme, we have another tomato dish. Five so far this month.

Café Noir
In 1914 April 12 was Easter Sunday. As usual on Sunday there is an elaborate meal featuring a roast. There are also some special dishes for the holiday, like the Frozen Egg Nog in Egg Shells, and of course, the Easter Pudding.
For those expecting an Easter Ham, we have Roast Capon instead.
I am curious about the eggs on the sixth line of the menu. Here it clearly looks like there are four items: Dressed Lettuce, Cheese, Eggs, Toasterettes. However, one of the Easter Menus in What to Have for Dinner has a recipe for Cheese Eggs. Maybe it’s a spacing error on the card.
The recipe for Cheese Eggs seems to contain an error. It calls for beaten egg whites, but they’re not in the ingredient list.
The Mock Macaroons remain a mystery for now.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Croustades of Spinach
Tomato Jelly Salad
Cheese Sandwiches
Caramel Ice Cream
In 1914 March 29 was a Sunday.
I can’t find a recipe for Croustades of Spinach. Fannie Farmer says that “Cubes of stale bread, from which centres are removed, are fried in deep fat and called croûstades”. Presumably, for this dish, they would be filled with cooked spinach.

Southdown Soup
Crisp Crackers
*Cadillac Chicken
Creamed Sweet Potatoes
Escalloped Corn
Praline Ice Cream
Sponge Drops
In 1914 March 10 was a Tuesday.
Southdown Soup is a lamb broth with green beans and rice. Southdown is a breed of sheep, so I’m presuming that’s to what the name refers.
To dress a chicken for broiling, Fannie Farmer says “Singe, wipe, and with a sharp-pointed knife, beginning at back of neck, make a cut through backbone the entire length of bird. Lay open the bird and remove contents from inside. Cut out rib bones on either side of backbone, remove from breastbone, then cut through tendons at joints.” In other words, spatchcock it. It will lay flat and cook more evenly.
