CALAS

The old negro women of the old French quarters in New Orleans used
to make a delicious rice cake, which they carried in bowls on their
heads. The bowls were covered with an immaculately clean cloth and the
cakes were called bella cala--tout chaud of New Orleans.

HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS RICE CAKE

(Use Level Measurements)

Wash one-half cup of rice and cook until tender in two and one-half
cups of boiling water. Now cool and mash the rice well. Now dissolve
one-half yeast cake in one-half cup of water 80 degrees Fahrenheit and
pour into a bowl, and add

One-half teaspoon of salt,
Four tablespoons of sugar,
One-half cup of sifted flour,
The mashed rice.

Beat well to mix and then cover and let rise over night. In the
morning add

Two well-beaten eggs,
Five tablespoons of sugar,
Four tablespoons of flour,
One teaspoon of nutmeg.

Beat well and then let rise for three-quarters of an hour in a warm
room. Now place in the pan one and one-half cups of vegetable oil.
Heat until hot enough to brown a crust of bread while you count forty.
Drop the rice mixture in by the spoonful and fry until golden brown.
Lift to a soft paper to drain. Dish on a hot platter; cover with warm
napkin. Dust with pulverized sugar and nutmeg.

APPLE AND RICE CUSTARD

Wash six tablespoons or two ounces of rice in several waters and then
place in a saucepan and add two cupsful of boiling water. Cook until
the water is absorbed and the rice soft. Now wash, then cut into small
pieces four small apples and then cover the apples with cold water and
cook until soft. Rub through a fine sieve and add

One-half cup of sugar,
One teaspoon of vanilla,
One well-beaten egg,
The cooked rice.

Beat to mix and then pour into the custard cups and bake for fifteen
minutes in a moderate oven.

SARDINE SANDWICHES

Open a box of sardines and then drain free from oil. Remove the skin
and bone and then mash very fine. Add

Two hard-boiled eggs,
One green pepper,
One-quarter onion.

Chop all fine and mix to a paste with six tablespoons of salad
dressing, one-half teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of paprika.

Spread between the prepared bread and then cut into two pieces. Wrap
in wax-paper until needed.
