In a short time we had above ground sweet melons, watermelons, pumpkins, cabbages, tomatoes, cauliflowers, beet-root, parsley, lettuce, celery, &c., but all the peas, beans, and a very choice selection of maize that I had received from England, were destroyed during the voyage. Against my express orders, the box had been hermetically sealed, and the vitality of the larger seeds was entirely gone.
She looked as though she might be dreaming of the Court of the Uffizi, or Santa Maria Novella, but Katie surmised that that dreamy look was not failing to find out what Wayne was going to do with his lettuce. But one who suggested dreams of Tuscany when taking observations on the use of the salad fork was there not hope unbounded for such a one?
The bazaars are very extensive, covering all the base of the hill on which stands the ancient citadel. The goods displayed were mostly European cotton fabrics, quincaillerie, boots and slippers, pipe-sticks and silks. In the parts devoted to the produce of the country, I saw very fine cherries, cucumbers and lettuce, and bundles of magnificent clover, three to four feet high.
An old sofa served as a seat, and on it were a pair of lasts, a bit of a French newspaper, and a plateful of small onions and lettuce, which could not find a place on the little table. Zachariah, upstairs in Rosoman Street, had often felt just as if he were in his Sunday clothes and new boots. He never could make out what was the reason for it.
Put on crisp lettuce leaves in the salad bowl; cover with a mayonnaise dressing. Serve cold. Turkish Stewed Lamb. Season a quarter of a young lamb and cut into pieces. Lay in a large stew-pan and cover with hot water. Add 1 sliced onion, 2 sliced green peppers and 2 tomatoes, 1 red pepper and 2 sprigs of parsley. Let stew slowly until tender. Then fry thin slices of egg-plant and add to the stew.
Our menu in this place is necessarily limited, but a friend at Fort Dodge had added to our stores by sending us some fresh potatoes and some lettuce by the mail wagon just the day before, and both of these Powder-Face seemed to enjoy. In fact, he ate of everything, but Wauk was more particular lettuce, potatoes, and ham she would not touch.
Uncle Wiggily ate some cabbage pancakes with carrot maple sugar sprinkled over them, and then as he wiped his whiskers on his red tongue, which he used for a napkin, and as he twinkled his pink nose to see if it was all right, Nurse Jane said: "Yesterday, Uncle Wiggily, you told me you would like me to make some lettuce cakes today; did you not?"
Harry looked over every ear of the green corn by pulling the husks down and any that seemed a bit overripe he discarded. "We will have to take the long wagon," said Bert, as they began to count up the baskets. There were two of beans, three of corn, one of lettuce, two of sweet apples, besides five bunches of Freddie's radishes.
Well, can you leave your seven radishes and three hunches of lettuce and pull out say at daybreak?" Bud turned to him with some eagerness. Cash grinned sourly. "When it's time to go, seven radishes can't stop me. No, nor a whole row of 'em if there was a whole row." "And you watered 'em copiously too," Bud murmured, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
"You don't git 'em!" said this personage briefly, when Potter had ordered chops and "oeufs a la creole" and lettuce salad, from a card. "You got to eat partridge and asparagus tips salad!" And he went away, leaving the terrible Potter resigned and unrebellious. The partridge was undeniable when it came; a stuffed man would have eaten it.
