28. Look over, wash and drain rice. Melt Crisco (or salad oil, or lard, or fat saved from chicken or goose) in heavy iron kettle; put in rice and stir constantly until it becomes a light golden brown; add onion and veal cut in pieces for stewing. (Get neck and shoulder of veal, or part neck and part breast). If bay leaf is used add at this time. Cover well with water.

29. As soon as the kettle boils well re- duce heat as low as possible and sim- mer till meat is perfectly tender. Add salt, pepper and parsley five minutes before serving. This should be as white and tender as chicken. A table- spoonful of butter may be added and will improve the flavor, but will also slightly increase the cost, and is not at all necessary. — Mrs. A. L. Veazie, 695 Hoyt street.

Cover and simmer gently until the mutton is tender, about one hour; then add the peas and cook 20 minutes. Lift the meat, put it in the center of a platter, strain the sauce over it, put the peas around near the meat and outside of this a roll of carefully boiled rice. This forms an admirable dish for six or eight persons at a cost of 10 or 15 cents. — Mrs. S. T. R.
