Dinner. — Soles, Boiled and Baked (March 1st); Brown Butter
Sauce (February 12th). Curried Veal. — Follow in all respects the
recipe given for Curried Babbit (July 16th). Rice Boiled for Curry.
—Patna rice is the best for this purpose. Wash the rice well two or
three times in cold water to take away the raw taste from it. Pick
away the discoloured grains, and throw it into plenty of fast-boiling
water slightly salted, and let it boil quickly until a grain feels tender
when taken between the thumb and finger. It will take fifteen or
twenty minutes, and should on no account be allowed to boil until it
forms a pulpy mass, as it is an object to keep the grains separate.
Drain it in a colander, and let cold water run on it a minute or
two to separate the grains. Dry the stewpan near the fire, put the
rice into it, let it stand on the range with the lid half on, and shake
it occasionally till it is dry and quite hot. Pile it round the curry
like a wall, and serve. Bed Bice (December 10th) ; Cheese (June 8th).
Things that must not be Forgotten.
1. Turn the tongue in the brine and the mutton in the pickle.
2. Turn the pieces of mackerel in the pickle, and keep in a cool
place. If this is done, the fish will keep for three or four days.
3. Take care of any rice that may be left. Very good pudding
can be made of it for to-morrow.
