Instructions: This one is from Chapter LIV, "A Good-by Luncheon for Bernadette", where Bettinas friend Ruth is trying out her new-found cooking skills; Ive made these for my kids, and they all disappeared! DH also thought they were good, although its been a few years since Ive made them. Probably not something wed want to do until the weather cools down, though.

Mix the chicken, celery salt, Lemon juice, parsley, salt and thick white sauce. Shape into croquettes. Roll in cracker crumbs, beaten egg and more crumbs. Deep fry. Serve hot.

The menu for this luncheon consisted of:

Iced Cantaloupe Balls Chicken Croquettes Potatoes in Cream Green Peppers Stuffed with Corn Rolls Peach Pickles Cherry Salad Wafers Chocolate Cream Pudding Coffee

Unfortunately, there is no recipe for the "Peach Pickles" which sounds about right for this time of the year!
