Oysters Pickled another way.

Wash and drain the oysters, and put them in salt and water, that
will bear an egg; let them scald till plump, and put them in a glass
jar, with some cloves and whole peppers, and when cold cover them
with vinegar.


To Brown Oysters in their own Juice.

Take a quart of large oysters, wash them in their own juice, drain and
dip them in the yelk of eggs; heat butter in a frying-pan, and after
seasoning them with pepper and salt, put them in separately; when they
are brown on both sides, draw them to one side of the pan; strain the
liquor, and put it in with a piece of butter and flour enough to
thicken it.


A Dish of Poached Eggs.

Have ready a kettle of boiling water, pour it in a pan or speeder, which
is set on coals; have the eggs at hand; put a little salt in the water,
and break them in, one at a time, till you get all in; let them remain
till the white is set, and take them out with an egg-spoon, and put on a
dish that has buttered toast on it.


Fried Eggs.
