Stewed Frogs' Legs

Melt half an ounce of butter in a saucepan on the fire, and in it brown one chopped onion, about one ounce of raw ham cut into dice, half a green pepper pod cut small, half a tablespoonful of salt, and one teaspoonful of pepper; moisten with one quart of white broth or consomme; add a tablespoonful of rice, six sliced gumbos and one sliced tomato, and cook thoroughly for about twenty minutes. Add a quarter of prepared frogs' legs five minutes before serving. Turn out on a dish and serve. If desired, one green pepper and two tomatoes may be substituted in place of the gumbo.

Lobster, American Style Procure two good sized freshly boiled lobsters and split them, removing all of the meat very carefully, and cut it up into pieces about an inch in length; and have in readiness a pan on top of a range half full of good olive oil, and when the oil has become very hot add pieces of the lobster. Chop very fine one peeled onion, one green pepper, and half a peeled clove, some sound garlic, place it with the lobster and cook for five minutes, stirring all the time; season with a pinch of salt and half a saltspoonful of red pepper, to which add half a wineglassful of white wine. After two minutes' reduction add one gill of tomato sauce and a medium sized peeled tomato, cut into small dice. Continue cooking for ten minutes, gently stirring the while, then pour the whole into a hot dish or tureen and serve.
