Let
it stand until cold and strain. If it is allowed to stand some hours the
fat will rise to the top and form cream. This milk is used by some who

Various meals are made from nuts and made into food for the sick. This
does no harm, nor does it do any special good. These meals contain more
or less starch and the action of starches is much the same, no matter
what the source. Please remember that there are no health foods.
COMBINATIONS.
Nuts are especially fine in combination with fruits. Fresh pecan meats
and mild apples make a meal fit for the gods. Nuts may be used in any
combination in which flesh is used, that is, they take the place of
flesh foods. The starchy nuts take the place of starchy foods.
A good meal is made of a fruit salad, consisting of two or three kinds
of fresh fruits and nuts.
Nuts or nut butter with toast also make a good meal.
Nuts have such fine flavor that cooks should think twice before spoiling
them. It is very difficult to use them in cookery and get a product that
is as finely flavored as the original nuts. The vegetarians use them in
compounding what they call roasts, cutlets, steaks, etc.
