  One cup of mayonnaise,

  One tablespoon of paprika,
  One-quarter cup of vinegar.

Mix.

SALMON SALAD

Open a can of salmon and then drain and remove the bones and add

  Two green peppers, chopped fine,
  One onion, chopped fine.

POACHED EGGS ON FRENCH TOAST

Trim the crust from slices of bread and then dip in the following: 

  One cup of milk,
  One egg.

Beat to mix and then fry the bread until golden brown in hot fat.  Poach the eggs and then lift on a napkin to drain.  Then roll gently on the French toast.  Cover with a cream sauce and garnish with finely shredded parsley.

PICKLED EGGS

Hard boil one-half dozen eggs.  Cook until tender one bunch of beets.  Turn into a pan of cold water and then remove the skins and cut into thick slices.  Place in a dish and add four large onions, cut in thin slices.  Now place in a saucepan

  Four tablespoons of sugar,
  One teaspoon of salt,
  One-half teaspoon of paprika,
  One cup of vinegar,
  One-half cup of water.

  Two tablespoons of finely minced parsley,
  One teaspoon of salt,

Mix and then cut and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs and then place four tablespoons of shortening in a frying pan.  When fat is smoking hot pour in the omelet and cook gently until firm, then turn either by lifting or rolling, using the cake-turner or a spatula, or it can be turned into another hot pan, containing one tablespoon of shortening, then fold and roll.

How to prepare the bread:  Soak stale bread in hot water to soften and then place in a cloth and squeeze very dry.
