Onion Purée
Lamb Chops
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Stewed Tomatoes
Cucumber Boats
Toasterettes
Vanilla Ice Cream
*Drop Cookies

In 1914 October 22 was a Thursday.

The Onion Purée looks like it’s served as a soup from its position on the menu. However, I think it’s supposed to be an accompaniment to the lamb chops, like on the July 2 menu.

I made the Drop Cookies! You can see the process and results here:

In 1914 October 15 was a Thursday.

No menu today, just yesterday’s recipe. Presumably we are eating leftovers from the night before because no one wants to cook after all that.

*Chicken en Casserole
Riced Potatoes
Baked Macaroni au Gratin
Lettuce and Radish Salad
Orange Jelly
Chocolate Nut Wafers

In 1914 October 1 was a Thursday.

Since au gratin means “with browned crumbs”, the regular Baked Macaroni dish counts.

The recipe I found is for Chocolate Walnut Wafer, but presumably you can use any nut you want.
