BRAISED DUCK
By Gretchen Lederer
Who said it is beneath the dignity
of a girl with a profession to learn to
cook?
Dear me, if girls really knew just
how well their best beaux like to see
them in a pretty apron, sleeves roll
ed up, and big stirring spoon in hand,
they would change their notions
about cooking. '
My favorite recipe is braised duck
cooked in the following way:
Clean and truss, but do not stuff,
young, tender ducks. Lay upon a
bed of fat ham, minced onion, chop
ped celery, and parsley and sliced
carrot and pour a cupful of bpiling
water over them.
Cover roaster tight and cook in a
moderate oven for two hours. Strain
the liquor into sauce 'pan, remove all
fat and let come to boiL Then add
one teaspoonful of lemon juice,
thicken with browned flour, immerse
the fowls in sauce until hot again,
and serve.
BROILED OYSTERS
Look over and dry between towel
one pint of select oysters. Melt one
fourth cup of butter and sieve very
fine one cup of bread or cracker
crumbs, seasoned with salt and pep
per and dash of celery salt. Lift
each oyster with fork, dip into melt
ed butter, then in crumbs, place on
wire broiler and "broil until juices
flow, turning whrte broiling. Serve
