The Salmon Box is an interesting presentation for leftover salmon. It’s quite literally a box made of rice and filled with cooked salmon.

Clam Chowder
Cold Sliced Roast Beef, Pepper Relish
Scrub Potatoes
*French Cream Puffs, Hot Chocolate Sauce

In 1914 May 14 was a Thursday. We’re having leftovers from last night’s roast, just like if it were Monday.

I have no idea why this creamy mashed potato bake is called “Scrub Potatoes”.

Veal Soufflé, Mushroom Sauce
Baked Potatoes
*Fried Spanish Onions
Tomato Jelly Salad
Cheese Crackers
Sherry Spanish Cream

In 1914 May 12 was a Tuesday.

The soufflé is using up the leftovers from Sunday dinner.

It’s not clear to me if the cheese crackers are crackers with cheese on top, cheese baked in, or just crackers meant to be served with cheese.

I have interpreted the Sherry Spanish Cream to mean make Spanish Cream and for the vanilla or wine flavoring, use sherry.

Chicken Soup
*Miss Daniel’s Meat Loaf
Creamed Potatoes
Asparagus Hollandaise
Apple Pie
Cheese Squares
Café Noir

In 1914 May 7 was a Thursday.

I made Miss Daniel’s Meat Loaf! Who was Miss Daniel? I have no idea. I assume she was someone associated with the Boston Cooking School, but I haven’t turned anything up yet.

It’s a fairly simple meatloaf and is much improved with the addition of onion. Also, don’t make my mistake and do serve it with a sauce.
