BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
Devils
and
Grills
flat
pieces
of a
portion
each.
In
a
deep
dish,
make
a
marinade
of
a
tablespoonful
or
more
of
vinegar,
a
little
chopped
tarragon,
if
you're
an
epicure,
a
clove
of
chopped
garlic
and
a
chopped
green
pepper
(seeds
re-
moved).
Lay
the
pork
in
this
for
two
hours,
then
broil
and
serve
on
hills
of
mashed
potato.
This
was
used
in
the
South
"
befo'
de
w^ah,"
and
I
reckon
you-all
'11
relish
it
some
cold
night
when
the
wind
Is
whistling
round
the
corners.
CREOLE
Even
a
bachelor
may
tire
of
a
porterhouse
GRILLADES
occasionally
and
sigh
for
a
change.
Then
is
the
time
for
him
to
test
the
Grillades,
which
they
do
this
way
in
New
Oleans:
Cut
a
thick steak
—
tender-
loin
will
do
—
into
pieces
about
four
inches
square.
Pour
a
little
olive
oil
over
each
piece
and
let
stand
a
few
minutes,
then
broil
over
hot
coals
if
you
have
them,
otherwise
under
a
fine
hot
gas
flame
just
enough
to
sear
the
outside.
Then
place
in
a
baking
pan,
sprinkle
with
one
chopped
onion,
one
green
pepper,
a
table-
spoonful
of
tomato
sauce,
juice
of
a
lemon
and
a
quarter
cupful
of
oil.
Cover
closely
and
when
brow^n,
turn.
Add
a
bit
of
hot
water
to
the
gravy,
boil
up
and
serve.
HOT
Suppose
youVe
just
seen
a
Bernard
Shaw
BIRDS
play;
isn't
that
an
excuse
for
something
to
follow,
a
bit
out
of
the
ordinary?
Well,
while
the
champagne
is
nicely
cooling
In
Its
nest
of
shaved
Ice,
you
will
let
one
of
your
guests
read
Shaw's
"
On
Going
to
Church
"
to
the others
while
you
