Shall

BROWN
Put
then
in
the
blazer
two
tablespoonfuls
POTATOES
Q^
butter
and
one
of
flour,
salt
and
pepper.
Mix
well
and
turn
in
sufficient
cold
boiled
potatoes
chopped
fine
for the
meal.
Stir
the
potato
until
it
is
thoroughly
heated
through, then
allow
it
to
cook
with-
out
stirring
until
it
is
a
golden
brown.
Turn
out
in
a
hot
dish,
brown
side
up.
Oil
may
be
used
instead
of
butter,
and
gives
it
a
delicate
flavor.
''
Many
dig
their
graves
with
their
teeth"
said
Ben
Franklin; but
what
a
glorious
way
to
dig
them
!
If
eating
and
drinking
were
taken
from
us,
life
wouldn't
be
worth
the
living,
and
there
are
more
who
die
from
insufficient
food
than
from
good
living.
Good
livers
who
take
the
proper
amount
of
exercise
are
rarely
troubled
w^ith
gout
and
the
kindred
ills
the
flesh
of
the
gourmet
is
heir
to.
Then
ho!
for
the
next
delicacy,
which
shall
be
a
hitherto-unnamed
dish
of
my
own
invention.
I
call
it
MACE-
Into
the
blazer
put
two
generous
table-
DOINE
spoonfuls
of
butter or
oil,
and
then
a
can
of
CHAUD
|.j^g
delicious
French
vegetables
that
come
in
such
tempting
form
—
or
a
glass
of
them,
if
this
be
pre-
ferred.
There
will
be
succulent
French
beans,
petits
poisj
and
tiny
cubes
of
carrots,
turnips,
mayhap
a
bit
of
parsnip
or
salsify,
and
with
all
this
you
may
like
a
suspicion
of
onion,
which
may
be
had
by
gently
stir-
ring
in
the
melted
butter
for
a
moment
tw^o
