s bowed down with grief and trouble. In this
case some betake themselves to drinking, but here the remedy only
aggravates the disease. The best relief, besides what the consolations
of religion may afford, is to associate with the kind and cheerful, to
shift the scene as much as possible, to keep up a succession of new
ideas, apply to the study of some art or science, and to read and write
on such subjects as deeply engage the attention. These will sooner expel
grief than the most sprightly amusements, which only aggravate instead
of relieving the anguish of a wounded heart.
GRILL SAUCE. To half a pint of gravy add an ounce of fresh butter, and a
table-spoonful of flour, previously well rubbed together; the same of
mushroom or walnut ketchup, two tea-spoonfuls of lemon juice, one of
made mustard, one of caper, half a one of black pepper, a little lemon
peel grated fine, a tea-spoonful of essence of anchovies, a very small
piece of minced shalot, and a little chili vinegar, or a few grains of
cayenne. Simmer them all together for a few minutes, pour a little of
it over the grill, and send up the rest in a sauce tureen.
GRILLED MUTTON. Cut a breast of mutton into diamonds, rub it over with
egg, and strew on some crumbs of bread and chopped parsley. Broil it in
a Dutch oven, baste it with butter, and pour caper sauce or gravy into
the dish.
GROUND RICE MILK. Boil one spoonful of ground rice, rubbed down smooth,
with three half pints of milk, a little cinnamon, lemon peel, and
nutmeg. Sweeten it when nearly done.
GROUND RICE PUDDING. Boil a large spoonful of ground rice in a pint of
new milk, with lemon peel and cinnamon. When cold, add sugar, nutmeg,
and two eggs well beaten. Bake it with a crust round the dish. A pudding
of Russian seed is made in the same manner.
GROUSE. Twist the head under the wing, and roast them like fowls, but
they must not be overdone. Serve with a rich gravy in the dish, and
bread sauce. The sauce recommended for wild fowl, may be used instead of
gravy.
GRUBS. Various kinds of grubs or maggots, hatched from beetles, are
destructive of vegetation, and require to be exterminated. In a garden
they may be taken and destroyed by cutting a turf, and laying it near
the plant which is attacked, with the grass side downwards. But the most
effectual way is to visit these depredators at midnight, when they may
be easily found and destroyed.
GUDGEONS. These delicate fish are taken
