Christman diary  1863

A diary kept by Irene and Alice Christman. It is a one year diary for 1863; however, the sisters dated each entry by year. It appears to me that Alice kept the diary for the first year or two recording mundane events. 
Then it appears Irene took over and used the diary to record deaths and marriages.

This is a literal transcription. Any writing that I am unsure of is designated with a (?). All items in  brackets are originally typed in the diary. All dates are otherwise handwritten in.

TO MAKE CREAM SAUCE FOR PUDDING.
To make a bowlful of cream sauce take a piece of butter the size of a small egg and beat it up with 
powdered sugar until it is a light cream. Then set it aside. Then into a small tin saucepan put a coffee-
cupful of water, and add to it a teaspoonful of flour mixed in a little water. Cook this thoroughly until it is 
like a thin starch. Then take up the butter and sugar mixture, and, while you are beating it energeticaly, let 
some one pour into it slowly and gradually the hot flour-suace. If the beating is not stopped for a moment 
the whole sauce will rise and be foamy as sea-froth. Flavor with wine, brandy or vanilla, as preferred. This 
is the best sauce made. Potato flour is sometimes used instead of wheat flour.
