Rice Flummery To 1 quart of milk put 5 heaped table spoonfuls of ground rice - a few bitter almonds - some lemon peel - and sugar to your taste. Let it boil until quite thick, stirring it all the time. / as otherwise it would burn / and then put it into a mould previously dipped in cold water. Take out the Almonds and lemon peel before putting it into the mould.

To make Currie. Take a table spoonful of Currie Powder - one of Flour - one of vinegar - and a little salt. Mix them up well in a basin, to which add a tea cupfull of gravy or soup. an onion cut into small pieces and a table spoonful of cream. Put the whole into a stew pan - let it boil for 5 minutes together - then add to it cooked meat / about a pound / cut up very small, or fish. Warm the whole thoroughly, and serve it up

in the centre of a pound of rice, or separately. The Vinegar is best added when the meat is put in, as the boiling is apt to break the milk - instead of gravy, milk makes a very nice curry - better, T think, than soup. It is made in the same way, and a tea-spoonful of curry powder, or a small desert spoonful is enough. Cooked vegetables are a great improvement, added in small quan: tities in curry. Mrs Forbes.

To make Lemon Pickle. Choose those which are young and fresh, with thick peels. Grate off the rinds, but not to as to hurt the skin - then put them on the end in a deep jar, with layers of salt so that each be completely covered. After remaining 8 or 10 days, take them out - wipe them, and simmer them in a brass pan 20 minutes in strong vinegar with as much turmeric as will make them a deep yellow. Then drain and put them into jars. Boil up the vinegar with a little mace, cloves and white peppercorns. pour it upon the Lemons, and cover the jars close. They will soon be ready for use, but the longer kept the better

136 The grated rind of the Lemons put into a bottle with a little salt - sugar - nutmeg and brandy, is good in a pudding, and the liquor from the Pickle is nic in Fish-sauces and meat-hashes. Mis Parkinson.
