succotash.—Have ready half a breakfastcupful
of grated or canned corn and the same of
cooked beans. (If French or string beans are chosen,
cook in just enough salted water to cover them;
if Lima or butter beans are used, cook till perfectly
tender; whilst if dried beans are preferred, they must
be soaked for twenty-four hours and then cooked
as usual.) Mix the corn and the beans, season to
taste with salt and pepper, add just enough milk to
moisten it all, stir in a teaspoonful of flour and a
full tablespoonful of butter, let it just boil up well,
then serve. If over-cooked the corn toughens.
