Com\u00ading down to more mod\u00adern times, Madame de Sta\u00ebl had a dish of very unique pat\u00adtern, and, when dri\u00adven by the com\u00admand of Napoleon from her beloved Paris, she car\u00adried her chaf\u00ading-dish with her into exile as one of her most cher\u00adished house\u00adhold gods. At the present day among the favored few, who have full purs\u00ades, are found sets of lit\u00adtle sil\u00adver chaf\u00ading-dish\u00ades about four inch\u00ades square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/span> feel like peo\u00adple use the term \u201cwin\u00adter flower\u201d<\/strong><\/em> a lot nowa\u00addays. Flow\u00aders and fruits are reserved for sweet dish\u00ades, except in the case of nas\u00adtur\u00adtiums, which they regard as much a veg\u00adetable as a flower and use freely with meats. It isn\u2019t essen\u00adtial that every dish should be turned into an elab\u00ado\u00adrate work of art, as if it were to be entered at the annu\u00adal exhi\u00adbi\u00adtion of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Chefs de Cui\u00adsine<\/a>, but nei\u00adther is there any rea\u00adson, even with mod\u00adest means at com\u00admand, for giv\u00ading cause for that old slo\u00adgan of the great Amer\u00adi\u00adcan din\u00adner table: \u201cIt tastes bet\u00adter than it looks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sim\u00adple desserts are the best desserts, and none is more pleas\u00ading to the eye and the palate or so eas\u00adi\u00adly made or so fre\u00adquent\u00adly served in an imper\u00adfect man\u00adner, than custards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These being the more eas\u00adi\u00adly made may be con\u00adsid\u00adered first.<\/strong> They may either be steamed or baked but the mix\u00adture is the same in either case. Allow two eggs and a tea\u00adspoon\u00adful of sug\u00adar to each half pint of milk. Beat the eggs with sug\u00adar thor\u00adough\u00adly, but do not froth them, as the cus\u00adtard must be as smooth and free from holes as pos\u00adsi\u00adble. Add the milk slow\u00adly, also a few drops of fla\u00advor\u00ading essence\u2014vanilla, almonds or lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
