Strawberry Tartlets

It often happens that you have among the strawberries a quantity that are not quite good enough to be sent to table as desert, and yet not enough to make jam of. Put these strawberries on to heat, with some brown sugar, and use them to fill small pastry tartlets. Pastry cases can be bought for very little at the confectioner's. Cover the top of the tartlet when the strawberry conserve is cold with whipped cream.

Madeira Eggs or CEufs a la Grand'mere Break the yolk of an egg in a basin and be sure that it is very fresh; beat it up, adding a little powdered it powdered sugar, and then, drop by drop, enough of the best Madeira to give it a strong flavor. This makes a nice sweet served in glass cups and it is besides very good for sore throats.
