Berry Shortcake--Beat together one-half cup of sugar and three eggs till you actually see the sponge (this will take about 10 min- utes), then add one-half cup of flour, stirring very little. Bake about 10 minutes in a greased pan. Here is an- other recipe which someone asked for recently: "Sour Meat: Put beef from the round in this mixture overnight: One cup of vinegar, two onions, three bay leaves, a few whole cloves and two cups of water. Turn the meat once. Next morning fry it on both sides in an fron kettle in fat from a piece of suet. Add the onion from the vinegar and instead of adding water, use the remainder of the vinegar mixture. Also and three gingersnaps and a lit- tle salt. Cook from two and one-half to three hours." Mrs. C. F.: "My Sour Meat: I put three pounds of beef in this mixture and leave it there for two or three days, turning meat every day: Three cups of vinegar mixed with one cup of water, one tablespoon of mixed Whole spices and four bay leaves. At the end of the third day take meat out, dry it with a clean cloth, rol] it in flour and brown it on all sides in hot drippings. Now add the vinegar mixture in which it soaked, and cook | it slowly for about three hour, or till tender. Take out, add one dozen gingersnaps rolled fine, strain the -@pavy and serve. The cut I get is eye of round, as this slices nicely." } The man "up against it" usually has been up against himself.
