Macaroni Baked with Tomatoes
College Pudding
Peanut Soup
2 cups shelled and blanched peanuts
1/4 cup onion
1/4 cup celery
2 cups white stock
4 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
2 cups milk
Salt, cayenne, paprika
Chop peanuts in meat chopper. Cook chopped nuts, onion and celery in white stock twenty minutes. Melt butter; add flour, milk and seasonings; cook five minutes. Combine mixtures, strain and serve.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Probably not.
Notes: This recipe said to strain out the peanuts at the end. I tested the broth and it would have had a nice peanut taste which then would have been thickened by the flour and butter. I couldn’t see throwing out all the peanuts and I don’t like soups thickened with butter and flour so I left the peanuts in and pureed the soup instead.
Milk Punch
1 cup milk
1 tsp sugar
4 tsp of sherry, brandy, or Madeira
A few gratings nutmeg
Put two lumps of ice in glass; add sugar, milk and wine; shake, strain, and add nutmeg.
Did we drink it? No
Would I make it again? No
Cheese Custard
2 tbs butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp paprika
2 cups cheese
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs
1 cup milk
2 eggs, well beaten
Melt 2 tablespoons butter; add one teaspoon each of salt, mustard and paprika. Add two cups cheese, one half cup soft breadcrumbs, and one cup milk. Cook five minutes. Add two eggs well beaten; when thoroughly blended, pour on to bread toasted on one side.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Probably not
Notes. This was good but not sure if I would make it again. I have had terrible luck with custards, so I used a cornstarch egg substitute instead.
Macaroni and Baked Tomatoes
Cooked macaroni
Stewed tomatoes, seasoned
Chopped green pepper
Butter
Arrange layers of cooked macaroni, stewed and seasoned tomato, and chopped green pepper. Dot each layer with butter. Cover all with buttered cracker crumbs. Bake in hot oven.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Yes
College Pudding
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup strained apple sauce
1/4 tsp salt
Rind and juice of 1 lemon
Mix ingredients in order given. Line a pudding dish with plain paste, fill with apple mixture, and bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with butter and sugar.
Did we eat it? No
Would I make it again? No
Notes: The first time I check this it was perfect. I put it back in for a just a little bit and it curdled. The taste was alright. Not sure if the cornstarch egg substitute would have worked here as well.
