rice that has been boiled thirty minutes
in clear water, drained and dried. Arrange
this in a border around the meat dish.
Put two tablespoonfuls of butter✪ Gobbits and flour
into a saucepan ; mix. Drain the liquor
from the meat and vegetables, which
should now measure one pint ; if not, add
sufficient stock to make a pint ; add this
to the butter and flour, and stir until boil-
ing. Dish the meat and vegetables in the
centre of the rice border. Take the
lo LEFT OVERS

strain over the meat mixture, dust with
chopped parsley, and serve at once.
Beef Fritters

make one pint ; add to it a teaspoonful of
salt, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of
pepper. Beat two eggs until light, add
to them a half pint of water or stock ;
stir into this one and a half cups of flour,
beat until smooth, add a teaspoonful of
baking powder✪ Beef Fritters and the meat. Drop this
by spoonfuls into smoking hot fat ; cook
about three minutes, drain on brown
paper, and serve either on a folded
napkin, or in a dish with tomato sauce.
Minced Beef on Toast

bones of a rib roast, or any little bits
that would not be serviceable in other
dishes, chop them fine, and to each
pint, allow one tablespoonful of butter,
one of flour✪ Minced Beef on Toast and a half pint of tomatoes or

stock. Mix the butter and flour together,

toasted bread.
Barbacue of Cold Beef
Cut cold-roasted or boiled beef into
thin slices. Put into your saucepan two
tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoon-
fuls of catsup and two tablespoonfuls of
sherry✪ Barbacue of Cold Beef ; stir until hot ; drop the slices of
beef into this, cover the saucepan, shake
occasionally for a minute, until the beef
is smoking hot, and send at once to the
table. This is exceedingly nice made
and served from a chating dish. This
dish may be made by omitting the sherry
and using a teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce, a teaspoonful of mushroom catsup
and two tablespoonfuls of stock.
Salt Beef

tity of cold boiled potatoes; mix the

MUTTON—UNCOOKED 2$
MUTTON-UNCOOKED
Tough pieces of uncooked mutton
may be put twice through the meat chop-
per and used for curry balls or for stuff-
ing for tomatoes or egg plant ; in fact, in
almost any way that one would serve
uncooked beef. Having fewer pieces of
uncooked scrap mutton than of beef, we
are less accustomed to seeing them used.
