Macaroni

(As used in the family of Adelina Patti's father.). Take 1-2 lb. of macaroni, break in inch pieces, wash well and boil in cold water. When thoroughly filled out and tender, strain, add salt to taste, and butter the size of a large egg. Have ready from 1-4 to 1-2 lb. of grated cheese, a tablespoonful of mustard mixed in a cup of cream, and some grated bread crumbs. Add the mustard and cream to the cheese and pour over the macaroni, mixing thoroughly. Put in a baking dish, sprinkle bread crumbs over the top, with little pieces of butter. Bake slowly until a beautiful golden brown.
