Twenty-sixth Sunday

Twenty-sixth Sunday: The Original Menu
Broiled chicken
Butter and parsley gravy
Little beets on lettuce leaves
Little June peas
Little new potatoes
Strawberry ice cream
Sponge cake
Coffee

Everything in June is little! It's a trend I've noticed in quite a few of the 1920s cookbooks I own.

The strawberry ice cream is made from scratch and the recipe takes up half a page! It's the real deal: old-fashioned ice cream cooled in a can by ice and salt. "Strawberry ice cream made with fresh fruit requires to be quite sweet." Wimp that I am, I bought a carton of Breyer's.

Twenty-sixth Sunday: The Modern Menu
Shredded BBQ chicken
Toasted onion rolls
Sliced beets
Peas
Boiled red skin potatoes
Strawberry ice cream
Silver and Gold

As usual, a whole chicken is too large for the two of us, so I made shredded BBQ chicken to help use up leftover chicken and leftover onion rolls.
