Cauliflower with Cheese

Boil the cauliflower as directed in recipe for Boiled Cauliflower. Make a half pint of Cream Sauce, add to it four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese (Parmesan the best), pour this over the cauliflower and serve.

CORN BOILED ON THE cob Corn should be cooked as quickly as possible after it is picked, or it heats, thereby losing its sweetness. If necessary to keep it over night, spread it out singly on the cold cellar floor. When ready to cook remove the husks and every thread of silk. Have ready a kettle of freshly boiled water, throw in the corn and boil, after it begins to boil, five minutes, take out, place in a cloth and then on a platter and serve immediately.
