Rice Boiled with Raisins. Dinner. Cod-fish Stuffed and Baked. Rabbit Pie. Potatoes. Stewed Celery. Semolina Mould. Cheese. Marketing. Fcr tlie Day.— One moderate-sized and perfectly fresh Cod-fish, or if preferred, the tail end of a large fish (see January 1st and 6th). Ingredients for veal forcemeat, if not in the house (June 27th). One freshly killed young Ostend Rabbit (January 24th) ; a slice of Ham, weighing about three-quarters of a pound (January 3rd) ; Potatoes, Celery. For To-morrow. — Order to be sent first thing in the morning, from seven to eight pounds of the Top side of the Round of Beef. This is one of the most economical joints for family use, as it has not much fat, and very little bone. (See January 10th.) A fresh Leg of Pork may also be ordered, and pickled for boiling. (See January 6th. ) It is best and most delicate when weighing about four pounds, but if this is too small for the requirements of the family, it certainly should not weigh more than six pounds. To pickle it all that is necessary is to rub it every day with plenty of common salt, the hands being previously washed in cold water. Muffins for breakfast ( see January 29th) Breakfast. — Potted Pheasant (J anuary 7th) ; Pig’s Cheek boiled (January 31st) ; Bread and Milk (January 25th). Luncheon. — Bissoles (January 6th) ; Baked Potatoes (May 4th). Rice Boiled with Raisins. — Take four ounces of good rice ; wash it in two or three waters, and pick out the discoloured grains. Mix it with a quarter of a pound of raisins, and tie in a well-floured cloth
