1904 Croquettes of Peas
1904 Croquettes of Peas
The Blue Ribbon Cook Book
2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
1 pint cream
1 egg yolk
2 cans of peas
Salt and pepper
Celery salt
1 tsp onion juice
Melt butter and flour together, then add the cream and seasonings and the well-beaten yelk of egg, and then the peas, which have been put through a puree strainer. Pour out onto a platter to cool, roll into croquettes, and fry.
Did we eat them: Most of them
Would I make this again: Sort of
Notes: This recipe didn't work for me at all. I needed barely any cream and had to add more flour which made them gummy. We liked the taste of the peas though. If I made this again I would use a combination of peas and potatoes and change up the recipe similar to other croquettes that came out well.

1883 Dinner Menu
The Successful Housekeeper
Macaroni, or Vermicelli Soup
Stuffing with Sage and Onion
Beets and Potatoes
Red Cabbage
Banana and Apple Tart
Macaroni, or Vermicelli Soup.
2 small carrots
4 onions
2 turnips
2 cloves
1 tbs salt
Pepper
Marjoram, parsley, thyme
Cooked or uncooked meat
Water
½ lb macaroni or vermicelli
Two small carrots, four onions, two turnips, two cloves, one tablespoonful salt; pepper to taste. Herbs—marjoram, parsley and thyme; any cooked or uncooked meat. Put the soup bones in enough water to cover them; when they boil, skim them and add the vegetables. Simmer three or four hours, then strain through a colander and put back in the saucepan to re-heat. Boil one-half pound of macaroni until quite tender, and place in the soup tureen, and pour the soup over it— the last thing. Vermicelli will only- need to be soaked a short time—not boiled.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Everone else seemed to like it more than I did. I would make it if asked but otherwise no.
Notes: I did not add any meat. I used broth instead of the water. Instead of salt, I used some lemon pepper.
Beets and Potatoes.
Potatoes
Young beets
Salt and pepper
Butter
A little sweet cream or milk
One of the most delicious ways to serve these early vegetables is this: Take new potatoes and young beets, boil until done in separate kettles, then slice into the dish in which they are to be put on the table; first put a layer of potatoes, sprinkled with pepper and salt and little lumps of butter, then a layer of beets, treated in the same way, and so on until the dish is full, then pour over all a very little sweet cream or milk.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Maybe

Banana and Apple Tart.
Pie Crust
Apples
3-4 bananas
Sugar
Melted butter
White sugar to sprinkle
Make crust of fine flour and fresh butter. Make little crust, but make it good. Slice apples fine and put in dish with three or four bananas sliced, only adding sugar and perhaps a little syrup, if you have got it.

Did we eat it? Yes
