=Sweetbreads, poulette.= Soak two pounds of sweetbreads in cold water for two hours, to cause the blood to run out. Then put on the fire in two quarts of water, add a spoonful of salt, bring to a boil, and then cool off in cold water. Remove the skins, and cut the sweetbreads in slices one-half inch thick. Put two ounces of butter in a sauce pan, add the sweetbreads, and simmer for two minutes. Then add a spoonful of flour, and heat through. Then add one pint of thick cream, and boil for ten minutes. Season with salt and Cayenne pepper, add a can of sliced French mushrooms and a little chopped chives, boil for two minutes, and thicken with the yolks of two eggs mixed with a little cream. Serve in a chafing dish.
=Cobblers.= Apple, pear, peach or apricot. Line a deep baking pan with pie dough, fill with the chopped fruit desired, sweetened with sugar, and with a little cinnamon added, cover with a sheet of pie crust paste, brush with egg, and bake. Serve with cream or wine sauce.
=Wine sauce.= Put in a sauce pan one pint of water, one-half pound of sugar, and the rind and juice of half a lemon. Bring to a boil, and then thicken with a teaspoonful of corn starch dissolved in a little water, and again bring to a boil. Flavor with a glassful of any kind of wine; or a pony of cognac, kirschwasser, or other cordial, as you may desire. Strain and serve with puddings, cobblers, etc.
