PICK-ME-UPS
A Sydney woman who recently returned from England, where sho liad been doing war work, brought back with her two excellent recipes for pick-me-ups, which, sho says, were recommended as a aubstitute l'or intoxicating stimulants. Sho'was told in fact that "bouiilo.11" was used in the lioyal houst'hokl since the King and Queen had abstained from alcohol.
This as how "bouillon" is made:—lnto an earthenware jar put 21b. of boiling beef, adding three quarts of cold water, eliglitly salted. Let it-heat very slowly, and after an hour take off the scum. Then add vegetables—turnips, carrots, celery, two or three onions, into which cloves havo been stuck, a morsel of garlic, and, if liked, a bit of thyme or mint. Let boil very slowly for live or six hours, keeping the- lid closed. A knuckle of veal is ail improvement to the bouillon, and is usually used when the pick-me-up is intended for invalids. A cup of bouillon taken at 11 a.m., instead of the usual tea, is both refreshing and stimulating. It may, of-course; be taken several times a day. Tomato Toddy.—Either canned or fresh tomatoes may be used. Strain a breakfiistcupful of tomatoes through a fine sieve, in order to get rid of fibre and seeds. Pour the liquid into a granite saucepan and add a bit of butter the size of a walnut. Heat to the boiling point. Add a pinch of cookery soda, stir well, and when tho tomato stops foaming, add a cupful of hot milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Toasted crumbs may bo added if liked. This is a splendid winter tonic.
