But it is time I was at those custards. Charlie, put down those peas and go into the other room, and bring me a basket of eggs you will find on the table." "And be sure to overset the milk that's 'long side of it yer hear?" added Aunt Rachel. Charlie thought to himself that he would like to accommodate her, but he denied himself that pleasure; on the ground that it might not be safe to do it.

I have thought fit to restore it to the text. "Here's Mr. Thurston," concludes Clariana's speech. From Shirley we learn that the apprentices took their pleasure in the mild form of treating their sweethearts to cream and prunes: Pimlico seems to have been a place near Hoxton famous for its ales and custards; cf. Mayne's City Match, II. 6.

They have a custom parmi les gens du haut of receiving strangers to board at a very high price seulement pour leur agrément, in which houses there is no feast to be found unless it be of reason: the hosts are too spirituels to fancy that we possess a vulgar appetite for meat, vegetables, tarts and custards; but as I cannot subsist altogether on the contemplation of la belle Nature, I have taken an apartment, hoping to get something to eat.... My health is restored, and I am much less in the genre larmoyant than when you saw me.... I am happy not to have gone to Edinburgh: the climate here is finer, living cheaper and the language French more desirable for my son.

"Now I want to run in and make a few cup custards, so I can save one for Mr. Mark when he gets home to-night. He loves them cold. Little cooking attentions never spoil men, they just nourish them. Anyway, what is a woman going to have left to do in life if she sheds the hovering feathers she keeps to tuck her nesties underneath?" "Well, howdy to-day, Mis' Poteet!" exclaimed Mrs.

One quart of sifted flour is one pound. One pint of granulated sugar is one pound. Two cups of butter packed are one pound. Ten eggs are one pound. Five cupfuls of sifted flour are one pound. A wine-glassful is half a gill. Eight even tablespoonfuls are a gill. Four even saltspoonfuls make a teaspoonful. A saltspoonful is a good measure of salt for all custards, puddings, blancmanges, &c.

To make custards look and taste better, duck's eggs should be used when obtainable; they add very much to the flavor and richness, and so many are not required as of ordinary eggs, four duck's eggs to the pint of milk making a delicious custard.

They knew nothing practically of the dairy but that it was an inexhaustible source of the sweetest milk and butter, and indirectly of the richest custards and syllabubs. The flock of sheep that now and then came in sight running over the hill-side, were to them only an image of pastoral beauty and a soft link with the beauty of the past. The two children took the very cream of country life.

What officers there were, regular and militia, who had not yet gone to Otsego Lake, came frequently to Croghan's to pay their respects; and every afternoon there were most agreeable parties at Croghan's; nor was our merriment any less restrained for our lack of chairs and tables and crockery to contain the cakes and nougats, syllabubs and custards, that the black wench, Gusta, contrived for us.

Hugh Peters, who always gave his congregation a double turn of the hour-glass he was to dine at the Guildhall, where I know not how many geese, bustards, capons, pheasants, ruffs and reeves, sirloins, shoulders of veal, pasties, sweet puddings, jellies, and custards, with good store of Rhenish and Buckrack and Canary, and Bordelais and Gascoin wines, were provided to furnish a banquet worthy of the day.

A huge plum-pudding headed the second course, with an almost endless retinue of pies, mince, pumpkin, and apple, while golden custards and jellies red, purple, and amber, of currant, grape, and peach brought up the rear. A third course of fruits and nuts followed, but by that time scarcely any one was able to do more than make a pretence of eating.
