Stuffed Eggplant

Cut eggplant in half and remove the meat; put the latter with one onion, one potato, one cup leftover ham (chopped), yolk of two hard boiled eggs, and one stalk of celery, into a kettle, season to taste, and steam about one hour. Remove from the stove and when slightly cooled, put the mixture into the empty eggplant shells and bake until slightly browned. Serve hot.

Chicken Salad

Remove leftover roasted chicken from bones and cut or chop fine. Add to three cups of meat one-half as much celery, a few chopped cucumbers and 5 hard boiled eggs, leaving out the yolks of half of the eggs. Mash the yolks that are set aside with one tablespoon of flour, salt, a pinch of red pepper and 1 teaspoon of mustard. Gradually add one-half cup of chicken broth to egg yolk mixture. Stir this into saucepan, on stove, containing one half cup of vinegar, two tablespoons of sugar and a lump of butter, until it thickens. When cold pour over salad and mix well. Green tips of celery, lettuce, sliced lemons or eggs may garnish the top of the salad.
