Please see Thursday of last week—the First Week in December. Add the surplus juice to your turkey-bone “stock.”
Stewed Potatoes.
Pare and cut into small squares. Lay in cold water half an hour; cook tender in hot water, a little salt. When done—or nearly—pour this off, add a cup of cold milk, and when this begins to simmer, a tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour, pepper, salt, and a little minced parsley. Boil gently one minute, and pour into a deep dish.
Celery.
Wash, scrape, and cut off the green leaves. Arrange the best stalks in a celery-glass. Put two or three green pieces into to-morrow’s soup-stock while boiling; and if you have time cut up the rest into short bits, and put in a jar or wide-mouthed bottle of vinegar to keep for salad-dressing.
A Plain Rice Pudding.
1 large cup of rice; 2 quarts of milk; 8 tablespoonfuls of sugar; 1 teaspoonful of salt; 1 great spoonful of butter, melted; nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.
Soak the rice two hours in a pint of the milk. Add, then, the rest of the milk and the other ingredients. Bake, covered, two hours; brown, and eat cold.
Second Week. Tuesday.
