Oatmeal nut loaf can be served cold in place of meat for Sunday night tea. Put the water in a sauce pan; when boiling add the oatmeal, stirring until thick; then stir in the peanuts that have been twice through the grinder, the salt, butter, and pack into a tin bucket with a tight fitting lid and steam for two hours; slice down when cold. This will keep several days if left in the covered tin and kept in a cool place. A delicious sandwich filling can be made from chopped raisins and nuts mixed with a little orange or lemon juice. Cooked prunes may be used instead of raisins.
