Pour sauce over it.--Mrs.T. BOILED BREAD PUDDING. Pour one quart milk over a loaf of grated stale bread. Let it stand till near dinner time. Then beat six eggs very light and add them to the bread and milk, together with a little flour, to make the whole stick. Flour the bag and boil. Eat with sauce.--Mrs. J.A.B.
