Hot Rolls Spanish Cream Angel Coffee The pineapple should be cut up into sections,, leaving on the skin. Alternate these sections with large, ripe strawberri having the hulls 1éft on, around a mound of pow- dered sugar. Some green leaves, such as laurel, are atractive for gar- nish. With the asparagus, if served, have Hollandaise sauce, which is made by cooking over water egg vouks and butter with lemon juice, using one-half cup of butter, two egg volks and one tablespoon lemon juice.
