pour in the mixture, stir until it thickens, fold over and serve with
clear brown gravy.

them the gravy, add a little more butter mixed smooth with a little
flour, and a small onion chopped fine, a pickled walnut and 1
teaspoonful of capers. _Simmer_ for ten minutes and serve in a covered
dish.

a cup of vinegar.--Janet M. Hill, in "Boston Cooking School Magazine."
