Boil first, then scrape and slice them. Put beets into a stewing-pan with a piece of butter rolled in flour, some boiled onion and parsley chopped fine, a little vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let stew one-quarter of an hour.

BAKED BEETS
Beets retain their sugar if baked instead of boiled. Turn with a knife frequently, as fork allows juice to run out. Remove skin, slice, and serve with butter, salt, and pepper on slices.

RICE AND OKRA
Wash one quart of okra pods and slice. Then strain three-fourths of a cup of canned tomatoes, pressing the pulp through a sieve. Put this all into a pot with two cupfuls of meat stock, a large onion sliced, a red pepper cut fine (remove the seeds), salt and white pepper. Let simmer for three-quarters of an hour. In the meantime boil one cup of rice; drain and dry the rice in the oven with the door open; add last one tablespoon of powdered gumbo to the okra, turn around the rice, which is heaped in a mound in the centre of a dish.
