AbOUtÀth I ...House COOKING- PEAS. Peas puddingc hot, peas pudding cold. Peas pudding iu the pot fine days old. This rhymne, accompanied by a slapping of hands, is a famnilia gai-e to most young people, but tew of them know the dish, which is au old English one. This is the recipe: Ptit a pint ai-d aý haif of split peas n water over uight, with a piuch of carbonate of soda. Before beiling re- move auy of the peas that float. Boil the beans until tender with a littie Sait and auy desired flaver, a bit of lemon peel, garlie thyme, or a littie of ail thrce. Drain and rub thonm through a colander. Whea smooth add two ounces of butter, a dash of pepper, and two cgs w eh beatuîî.' 'lour a pudding cloth Or steamer, turu linfthe pudding and bell for an heur. Flncly chopped bacon may be added te the pudding if deslred. As bacon and Split peas imay be kept ou baud, this pudding mnakes a goed dinuer when emiergen- cios arise. Split Pea Salad-Au excellent wiu- ter salad mlay be made witilî ither dried lima beaus or peas. Seak un- tii they are very sort, and hoil in salted wator until tender, buit net mluslY. Drain and cool. Squce- e over the beans or peas the juire et? an enien and add eue or twe bits from a can Of tomuatees,, which mnay be emptied andi saved fer another oc- casion. Wheu tomate is uised a plucli 0f dried thymoe gix os a dli- clous flaver. Serve with a. French or a seur creani dressing. Split Pea Cutlets.-A delici eus disb sold iu vegetarian restaurants, us- ually under the naine of cutlets or vegetarian beefsteak is made as fol- lews: Soak the split peas as for the Pudding. Put inte a double boiler wlth water eneugh te cor t hein and a sprig of thymne. two cloues or? garlic and a green pepper. from which the seeds have been remoed f. Steama unll the peas are tender, drain and partly mash theul. Mix with the peas a littie very inly miuced onion or celery. Fornm loto balls like flsh cakes. Shakeo ouer themi a dash ot? pepper, dtp ilrst jute a beaten egg, and then ini Indian mneal or breud cruiibs and fry. Thoese cutlets are very substautial, and lit- tle, if any, mneat should ho eateu with themn. ]iried lima beaus may be prepared lu exactly the saine w ay, except that a littie tomiate or mine- ed pareley adds greatly te tbe haver. Split Peu, Soup. This is really a hearty meal lu itself. Soak a quart of Split peas over night lu a large kettie. Pour off the ivater and rnu e; cover uith thrce pints of water und Put on the fire, with a Speonful each of sait and sugar and twe dlot esof garîlic. Do't Omit the garlie. Re- momirber the bane of Amnerican C000k- erY is the lack of fhaver. If you have a ham boue or a chioken ýboue te Put lu se muchi te better. ILet the soup' simmoir for several heurs ou the hack of the' sto',C. Thon add o ne or two cups eor milk, n bit etr butter and a dash ot? black peppor and it is ready te serve. Buked Peas.-A delicieus baked dish is made by rubblng a large bake' dlsh with a clovo of garlir. Turu into this a pLut eof split peas seaked until seft. Chop a large ou- ion very fiue and spread ovor the top of the peas Will1u pppor and salt. If' You have loi t er gravy or stock pour it ovor the mixture. If net cover wlth wator, spreadîng oeor al bacon cut luto the thlnnest possible suices. Bake in theo ven for- two heurs and add a little beiling water if the poas get tee dry. This will bie fouud a great iluprot onent ou baked bonus. As split peas are sold as low as 4 cents a quart, theso dishes will be fouud tory economnical. PEOPLE LIICE POTATOES.
