INVALID COOKERY.
The important factors in the preparation of food for the sick are three-that the food be plain, whole some and well-cooked.
For the patient who is not yet off the liquid diet, there are those old stand-bys, broth and gruel. But the broth-and-gruel. patient presents delicate situation; for the knack of varying the liquid diet to make it enticing, and the usual lack of appetite in this condition, is a combination to be reckoned
with.
Egg and milk drinks, with mut meg, or with chocolate (if the latter flavour is not forbidden the. patient), while not exotic or new, are at least a palatable means of taking raw eggs, and of helplag to reduce the daily milk ration. Milk can be further got away with iu, an orange drink," or a lemon or vanilla egg nog, or by using it in the preparation of a cereal beverage..
Rice water and barley water are often included in the diet. Pre- pars rice water by boiling three tablespoons of rice in three cups of water until the rice is tender. Strain, and add to the rice water salt to taste and milk or a little cream. Then reheat before serving. A small stick of cinnamon may be cooked with the rice.ne
Make barley water as follows: boil for one and one-half hours two tablespoons of pearl barley in three cups of boiling water. Let it boil evenly and gently, adding more water as it boils away. Strain, add salt to taste, and if desired, lemon juice and sugar. It can be served either hot or cold.
Grape juice is also relished, and can be used with the white of an egg. Beat the white very stiff, and add to two tablespoons of grape juice in a punch cup. Then add a little chopped ice, and sprinkle sugar on top if the grape juice is not sweet enough.
