Baked Brown Potatoes

Boil, peel and mash a dozen potatoes.

Beat into them, while hot, salt and pepper to taste, a spoonful of onion juice, half a cup of milk and a tablespoon of butter. Have them perfectly smooth and creamy. Butter a long, shallow cake tin, and fill evenly with the potato, bake brown in a hot oven, cut out like a johnnycake and serve with luncheon or supper.

Frijoles (Spanish Beans) with Cheese Boil one pint of pink beans in plenty of cold water. As water boils away, add more (hot) water until beans are very tender. Season to taste with salt and red pepper. Put in frying pan a heaping tablespoon of lard and butter (half of each). When the beans are very hot in the pot, put in one small onion and mash them a little with a spoon, then put them into the boiling grease. Stir well, and allow to brown slightly. Ten minutes before taking from the frying pan, add seven tablespoons of grated American cheese. Serve with slices of hot buttered toast (thin) and sliced cucumbers with French dressing. - Margaret Greenleaf, Pasadena.
