Meals to Tempt the
Convalescent
Dishes Designed to Keep Within Doctor's Orders
"It is easy for those who are well to preach patience to those who are sick," runs an old proverb.
But it would be more con- .siderate to reserve this querulous-
ness of convalescence for the nearer members of the family and instead "summarise some of the small things that the ordinary housewife "can do to lighten the lot of an invalid in the house.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Building up is neccessary after e running the high temperature that usually accompandantes in- however, fluenza, and so food,
dull may really be, should be made to look as attractive AS possible.
A tiny posy of flowers on the luncheon tray. even a brightly coloured dish, and very small shapes of jelly all help in this tiresome process of getting well, trivial as they may sound.
When one is feeling not too good, it is more than ever "the little things that count."
Here are some dishes for in- vallds, designed to keep within the doctor's orders, but at the same time to be as appetising as possible:
SWEETBREAD

of

was simmered in. Stir and boil for a few minutes. Then put in the sweetbread.
Cover the saucepan and keep over gentle heat for half an hour. A little cream can be stirred in just before serving.
MINCED CHICKEN Cut the breast of a raw chicken into small pieces and stew them. In a lttle over gentle heat for a few minutes. Mix in a teaspoon- ful of flour, and add a quarter of Stir and boil gently for
five
pint of chicken stock or milk. minutes then cover and cook very slowly for an hour.
