By cereals I include every description of breakfast food, rice, macaroni, hominy or oatmeal. Even a few spoonfuls of well-cooked cereal can be utilized in gems or griddlecakes or can be fried in butter and eaten hot with maple sirup. Set it away carefully, covering tightly. An excellent plan is to keep three baking powder tins, a quarter, half-pound and pound size, for this purpose. The variety in size will fit the amount of the left-over. Brush the can inside with butter, pack in the cereal while hot and cover. When needed, slip it out of the can, cut in one-half -inch slices and roll in Made Palatable 3$ flour to dry. Dip in egg and crumbs and fry in smok- ing hot fat. Eat with maple sirup. Cream of wheat, mush, hominy, wheatena, Quaker oats, flaked rice, farina, Petti John, Ralston's food, wheatlet, indeed any of the large variety of cooked breakfast foods can be made palatable in this way. If the left-over only amounts to a cupful, combine it with flour as given in oatmeal muffins and you will have a most satisfactory hot breakfast bread. Served with bacon these second-day preparations of cereals form a very nice relish. The uses of cold rice cannot be enumerated. There are so many methods of transforming it into most attractive dishes that many housewives while preparing hot rice for the table, cook a double portion and reserve it for various uses. A cup of rice is a pleasant addi- tion to many hot breakfast breads. It may be made into delicious puddings, fritters, pancakes, mixed with a cup of cold tomato or even left-over tomato soup, well seasoned, sprinkled with cheese and buttered bread crumbs and baked till brown, when it appears as a palatable entree. It can be utilized for croquettes, drop cakes, for a thickening to soups and stews, it may be curried, worked into left-over meat dishes, and even changed into ice cream. Macaroni and spaghetti left-overs make good rechauffes. With the addition of a few spoonfuls of milk or water, cold macaroni cooked in white sauce or spaghetti which made its first appearance in tomato sauce may be reheated in the double boiler, a spoonful of each put in a ramekin dish, then covered with grated cheese and baked.
