Tapioca Soup

Take the fat from the stock reserved for to-day. Bring the soup to a boil and stir in half a teacupful of "grained" tapioca, which has been soaked three hours in a little cold water. Add also seasoning, if needed; simmer half an hour and pour out. Send around grated cheese with it.

Roast Beef And Potato Balls

When your beef is about three-quarters done, pout nearly all of the gravy from the dripping-pan. Have ready some mashed potato worked smooth with a beaten egg, pepper and salt, then made into balls and rolled in flour. Place them in the pan around the meat and baste until well browned. Serve in. the same dish with the beef.

Sliced Sweet Potatoes

Boil in their skins until a fork will go easily into them. Pare and slice with a sharp knife lengthwise; fry lightly and quickly in good dripping, or butter; drain off the grease, and serve hot.

Cauliflower Au Gratin

Wash the cauliflower, cut off green leaves and stalks, and divide into neat bunches. Boil in hot water, salted, until tender. Drain well; dip each piece in melted butter, and strew thickly with fine, dry crumbs, mixed with pepper and salt. Arrange flower end uppermost, in a pudding-dish, and brown the crumbs upon the upper grating of an oven. Serve in a vegetable dish, and pass a boat of drawn butter with them.

Southern Rice Pudding - Meringued

1 qt. of fresh milk.

1 cup of raw rice.

2 tablespoonfuls of butter. 1 cup of sugar.

4 eggs beaten light.

1 teaspoonful grated lemon-peel.

A pinch of cinnamon, and the same of mace.

Soak the rice two hours in the milk. Simmer in a farina-kettle until tender. Rub butter and sugar to a cream. Beat up the eggs, and whip the mixture into them while the rice is cooling. Stir all together; flavor, and bake three-quarters of an hour in a buttered dish

If baked too long, the custard will break. So soon as it is well set in the middle of the dish, draw to the oven-door, and spread with a meringue made of the whites of three eggs whisked stiff with one tablespoonful of pow dered sugar and juice of half a lemon. Close the oven-door, and brown delicately. Eat cold. Make it on Saturday.
