If uncooked rice is used, it should be cooked in 3 cupfuls of milk. Make a sauce with one cupful of milk, add the flour, cheese and salt. Into a buttered baking dish put alternate layers of the cooked rice and the sauce. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. The proteids in this dish, made with rice cooked in milk, are equal to those of nearly 1¾ pounds of average beef. If skimmed-milk is used, the fuel value is equal to nearly 3½ pounds of beef. Whole milk raises the fuel value still higher.
Fried Bread with Cheese No. 1
| 6 slices of bread. | ½ teaspoonful of salt. |
| 1 cupful of milk. 2 ounces of cheese, or ½ cupful of grated cheese. | ½ teaspoonful of potassium bicarbonate. Butter or other fat for frying. |
Scald the milk with the potassium bicarbonate; add the grated cheese, and stir until it dissolves. Dip the bread in this mixture and fry it in the butter. The potassium bicarbonate helps to keep the cheese in solution. It is desirable, however, to keep the milk hot while the bread is being dipped.

Olive and Pimiento Sandwich or Salad Cheese
Mash any of the soft cream cheeses and add chopped olives and pimientos in equal parts.

The mixture may be spread between thin slices of bread or it may be made into a roll or molded, cut into slices and served on lettuce leaves with French dressing.
