Veal Stew

Ingredients

Directions

Cut veal in small pieces, not over an inch square. Cover with cold water. See that the water is kept at the same level, by adding hot water as it boils away. Stew till tender. Before done, have ready potatoes enough for the quantity of veal, peeled and sliced. Add these to the stew. When done, add a little smooth thickening, a bit of butter, and let all come to a boil. Serve hot.

This simple breakfast is very appetizing when well gotten. Chop cold veal very fine ; put it into a saucepan with only gravy enough to moisten it. If you have no gravy, use a little water in- stead, and add a bit of butter before dishino- it. Simmer till hot. It should be dry enough to heap into shape on the platter. Prepare your eggs and toast as in breakfast No. 1.
SLICED ORANGES. Persons of refined sensibilities are disturbed by the derangement of orange-peel at the breakfast- table. This may be avoided by serving them sliced and sugared. Slice peeled oranges. Fill a dish with alternate slices of oran2:e and suo;ar.
