Tomato soup
Salmon with border of peas
Pineapple salad with pimento cheese
Hot biscuit Grape conserve
Coffee Small cakes
First, I set the table. I then put a large can of salmon and can of peas in a kettle of water and placed on the stove to heat. I opened two cans of tomato soup, put in a saucepan to heat and put a cup of milk in another saucepan to heat.
Next I made the biscuit, using prepared flour as they can be made more quickly by its use and if directions are followed, they are delicious.
While the biscuit were baking, I prepared the salad. This was quickly done. I opened the can of pineapple, placed a slice of the fruit on each salad plate and in the center of the pineapple slice I placed a ball of pimento cheese and a spoonful of “ready made” salad dressing.
Everything was ready so I added the hot milk to the soup with just a pinch of soda, and served it in cups with wafers.
I removed the cups to the kitchen, quickly opened the can of salmon, placed it in the center of the platter and garnished it with slices of lemon. Then I opened and seasoned the peas and poured them around the salmon.
While the man of the house served the salmon and peas, I brought in the biscuit, butter and salad. Last came the coffee and cakes.
It was not an elaborate meal but it was good and satisfying. Our friends were loud in their praises and appreciation.
