Oatmeal; Wheaten Grits; Hominy, Boiled

Boiled Oatmeal.—Put two quarts of water into a saucepan; add a coffeespoonful of salt and set it on the fire; at the first boil drop in three-quarters of a pound of oatmeal, letting it fall like rain, and being careful to stir continuously with a spatula, bearing it down on the bottom of the saucepan. Remove at the first boil to the side of the range, and let it continue to bubble for twenty-five minutes, stirring it at frequent intervals with the spatula. Serve with fresh sweet cream.

Wheaten Grits, Boiled.—Wheaten grits are cooked in the same manner and in the same proportions as the oatmeal. Serve with fresh sweet cream.

Hominy.—Hominy is prepared exactly the same, using the same proportions as the oatmeal, but it only requires twenty minutes' cooking. Serve fresh sweet cream at the same time.
