CHINESE RICE
Take equal parts of rice and cold water. Wash your rice in several waters, put
it in a saucepan, salt, and let it boil. When cooked put aside to soak until
dry. Be careful, it burns easily. Every grain of rice will be separate and dry.
"Mon Repos," Aiken, S.C. --MISS EUSTIS.
HOPPING JOHN
Cup of cow peas, boil with piece of bacon. When peas are thoroughly done, not
till mushy, drain water off, three hours boiling. Boil separately a well washed
cupful and a half of rice. Mix together after it is done. Skim off grease from
top of pot peas are boiled in, add salt and cayenne pepper, put in oven to dry
out. Serve with sliced bacon in centre or fried sausages.--MRS. EUGENIA
PHILLIPS, Washington, D.C.
JUMBALLAYA A SPANISH CREOLE DISH
Wash one pound of rice and soak it an hour. Cut up a cold roast chicken, or the
remnants of a turkey, and a slice of ham, and fry them in a tablespoonful of
lard. Stir in the rice, and add slowly while stirring in, a pint of hot water.
Cover your pot, and set where it can cook slowly, until the rice is nearly dry.
One or two spoonfuls of cooked tomatoes give it a very good taste. Jumballaya is
very nice made with oysters, shrimps or sausages.--MME. EUSTIS, MERE.
DELICIOUS BREAKFAST DISH
Take some hog meat prepared for sausages. Chop up some well boiled pig's feet,
mix with it, and wrap up in a lace. Fry it, and serve hot.--MME. ALZIRE DUBROCA,
Baton Rouge.
