Preparing for the Party

A mother and her daughter are cooking dishes for the party.

I need your help badly, Mary. There is so much to do for tonight’s party — to prepare a salad, to bake various pies and cakes, to roast a goose and to cook a lot of other things. Please take the mincing machine and mince this bit of meat. I will scrape and slice the carrots.

Will you peel these potatoes and onions? I’ll make some potato chips and you set up the rest of the potatoes to boil. When they are soft, mash them with butter and hot milk. Now, wash and cut the potatoes and cucumbers, put them on the dish but don’t dress with the mayonnaise, we’ll do it later.

I think that it’s time to get out the goose from the oven. Then we’ll bake a layer cake and a pie with jam filling. I’ll beat the eggs for the dough. Look, the rice is boiling over, turn the gas down a little. Now, be a good girl and whip the whites of these eggs. Here is some powdered sugar to mix with the whites when you are through...

Now will you help me in laying the table? The guests will come in an hour. We’ll be twelve altogether, so lay twelve places. Take the dishes for refreshments from the sideboard and put them on the table. Now fetch the wine glasses — one for each cover.

We don’t uncork the bottles, but get the corkscrew ready. Please open these tins. Here is the tin opener for you.
