~ROLLED RIB ROAST
Have the backbone and ribs removed and utilize them
for making a stew for lunch. Tie the meat into a round shape and
sprinkle it with salt and pepper, then dredge with flour and place in a
dripping pan. Have the oven hot when the meat is first put into it, in
order that it may be seared over quickly to prevent the juices from
escaping. Then reduce the heat and baste with the fat in the pan. When
done place on a hot platter and surround with riced potato.

Lunch Recipes
BANANA SANDWICHES
Remove the skin and fibers from four bananas, cut
them in quarters and force through a ricer. Mix with the pulp the juice
of half a lemon, a dash of salt and nutmeg and set it away to become
very cold while you prepare the bread. This should be cut in very thin
slices, freed from crusts and trimmed into any preferred shape. Slightly
sweeten some thick cream and add a speck of salt. Spread the bread with
a thin layer of the cream, then with the banana pulp put together and
wrap each in waxed paper, twist the ends, and keep very cold until
serving time.

cucumber is hot. Set into a cold place to chill and become firm. If a
