ups of sour milk.

Beat to mix and then pour into well-greased one-pound empty coffee
cans and fill them three-quarters full. Cover and place in a deep
saucepan. Fill the saucepan two-thirds full of boiling water. Boil
steadily for one and three-quarters hours; then remove the lid from
coffee can and place in a warm oven for three-quarters of an hour to
dry out.

Next come the fish balls--not the great, round old-fashioned
grease-soaked one of commerce, but the daintiest golden brown balls
the size of bantam eggs, fried in smoking hot fat and laid on snowy
white napkins in piles, with sprigs of parsley stuck between them.
