But even in winter, soups, vegetable stews, nut
roasts, baked fruit pies, and boiled puddings can all be made the day
before. They will all reheat without spoiling in the least.
Monday is the washing-day in many households, and no housewife wants to
cook on that day. In flesh-eating households cold meat forms the staple
article of diet. The vegetarian housewife cannot do better than prepare a
large plain pudding on the Saturday, boil it for two hours, put it away in
its basin, and boil it two hours again on Monday; with what is left over
from Sunday, this will probably be sufficient for Monday's dinner.
BREAKFASTS.
A sufficient breakfast may consist simply of bread and nut butter, with
the addition of an apple or other fresh fruit. A good substitute for tea
and coffee is a fruit soup. Where porridge and milk are taken, this would
probably not be needed. Eggs, cooked tomatoes, marmalade, and grated nuts
are all welcome additions.
HIGH TEAS.
If tea is taken, let it be as weak as possible. Do not let it stand for
more than three minutes after making, but pour it immediately off from the
leaves into another pot. See that the latter is hot.
Some of the simpler savoury dishes (omelets, etc.) may be taken at this
meal if desired. Also lentil and nut pastes, salads, Wallace cheese,
raisin bread, oatcake, sweet cakes and biscuits, jams, etc.
DINNERS.
SUNDAY.
