ACCOUNT-BOOK. 3 



Boiled Salt Codfish is accompanied with carrots, beets, 

 and onions, with egg sauce and melted pork gravy, com- 

 monly known as dip. 



Tongues and Sounds are served with the same vegetables 

 and sauces. 



Fried Fish are mostly served with crisped parsley. 



Baked Fish, with anchovy sauce ; pickles and lemons 

 being always on the table. 



Boiled Salmon, with caper sauce, egg sauce, and anchovy 

 sauce. 



Potatoes and artichokes are served, in their various ways, 

 with most dishes, though with plain boiled dishes mashed 

 or fried potatoes would be an anomaly. They are simply 

 boiled whole for such dishes. 



Of course, these are merely suggestions ; and offered prin- 

 cipally to the young housekeeper as inducements for her 

 to look for and adhere, whenever compatible, to palatable 

 affinities. 



ACCOUNT-BOOK. A book containing accounts. Every 

 housekeeper will find herself repaid for her trouble if she 

 allow her register of personal and "household expenses to 

 expand into a kind of commonplace-book. For example, 

 if she live in the country, under the head of Animals, let her 

 register facts with regard to her poultry, cows, &c., reserving 

 several blank pages to be filled up as occasion may offer. 

 Under the head of Plants, reserving the blank pages as be- 

 fore, set down all reliable facts and observations with regard 

 to soil suitable to a certain class of plants, and the habits 

 of such plants as she may be cultivating; what class of 

 insects infest them, and by what means they are best de- 

 stroyed. If she be a mother, let her make an entry, under 

 the general head of Disease, of the rise, progress, and depart- 

 ure of different diseases, as experienced by her children.
