It is a small white wooden building, overhung with orange-trees, with a pond full of ducks and geese outside it, and a few scattered outbuildings, including a cooking hut, close by. A good-looking man was busy broiling beef-steaks, stewing chickens, and boiling taro, and we had soon a plentiful repast set before us, with the very weakest of weak tea as a beverage.
Common flower-pots are full of treasure, with a little earth scattered on the top; trees are for Ali Baba to hide in; beef-steaks are to throw down into the Valley of Diamonds, that the precious stones may stick to them, and be carried by the eagles to their nests, whence the traders, with loud cries, will scare them.
Luckily even her iron constitution could not stand the strain of such ideal living for long, and her growing anaemia threatened to undermine a constitution seriously impaired by the precepts of perfect health. A course of beef-steaks and other substantial viands loaded with uric acid restored her to her former vigour.
The flavour will be heightened by having salted a few the night before in a covered dish, to extract the juice, and then stirring it into the sauce while stewing. This sauce may be served up with poultry, game, or beef-steaks. In gathering mushrooms take only those that are of a dull pearl colour on the outside, and that have the under part tinged with pale pink. Boil an onion with them.
He knows when it is a good year for peas or French beans, and the kind of salad stuff that is plentiful; when the Great Market is glutted with cabbages, he is at once aware of the fact, and the failure of the beetroot crop is brought home to his mind.

I spoke of Kings in the abstract." The Pugilist's Diet The Trainer of a Pugilist consulted a Physician regarding the champion's diet. "Beef-steaks are too tender," said the Physician; "have his meat cut from the neck of a bull." "I thought the steaks more digestible," the Trainer explained. "That is very true," said the Physician; "but they do not sufficiently exercise the chin."
Jorrocks, what with his Margate trips, and a most substantial breakfast of beef-steaks and porter, tea, eggs, muffins, prawns, and fried ham, held out as long as anybody indeed, at one time the odds were that he would not be sick at all; and he kept walking up and down deck like a true British tar. In one of his turns he was observed to make a full stop.
Your cheeks ought to be white, and there they are looking like two raw beef-steaks. Your tongue ought to cleave to the roof of your mouth; and it isn't. You ought to feel pains in the pit of your stomach, and you're not. Devil a bit! You know, you're missing all the sensations that the writers told you about. You're not playing the game. Come, buck up, fall down and grovel on the ground!"
Never mind me. I hate being made company of. Just treat me like one of yourselves; toad-in-the-hole, dog-in-the-blanket, beef-steaks and oyster-sauce, rabbits and onions anything; nothing comes amiss to me. So saying, and while Jogglebury sat purple and unable to articulate, Mr. Sponge applied his hand to the ivory bell-knob and sounded an imposing peal. Mr.
Garnish the dish with horse-radish and red-beet root. There must be no salt upon the beef, only salt the gravy to your taste. You may stew part of a brisket, or an ox cheek the same way. To make OLIVES of BEEF. Garnish the dish with horseradish and pickles. You may make olives of veal the same way. To fry BEEF-STEAKS.
