of finely-chopped suet, a table-spoonful of chopped parsley, a tea¬
spoonful of powdered thyme, a little piece of lemon-rind about the
size of a thumb-nail, finely chopped, and a little pepper and salt.
Put the mixture in a cool place, and leave it till wanted. Before
using it bind it together with a beaten egg, but this should not be
put in until to-morrow.
3. Fillet the anchovies, and prepare the stock for anchovy toast
to-morrow (January 8th).
4. Partially prepare the rice milk for breakfast to-morrow (Note 3,
