Mexican Dishes.

Have you room for a few recipes fer
Mexican dishes? The Exchange is fast
becoming international with regard to the
recipes that appear in 1t from week to weel.
az can't spell the name Of a dish the
Mexicans make from rice. But it is pre-
pared thus:
Mexican rice: Put a tablespoonful %
lard into a small saucepan. When II boi;s
and Kisses add cupful of dry rice (Texas
product preferred). Have ready a small
onion and a small tomato, botn chopped
fine. When the rice is of a golden browa
put in onion and tomato. Season with sat-
and black pepper to taste. Now pour into
the saucepan about pint of hot water and
cook slowly until the water has boiled
away, leaving the rice dry. 1t should be
fluffy and fine.
Mexican frijoles: FriJoles are Mexican
beans. Boil them slowly for hours unit.
they are a thick, tender mass. They may
be seasoned with a little chill pepper II you
like the flavor.
Eggs with chilli gravy: Fresh eggs are
poached and served with this gravy. Put
a tablespoonful of lard into a saucepan
and bring to a boil. Then stir in a te -
spoonful of chill powder and little water.
To this add several tablespoonfuls OF gravy
from the chilli con carne, which we will
suppose is already made. Pour over the
eggs and serve hot.
With the dishes here described one
may serve a nice Mexican luncheon. Since
1 have removed from Mexico use q coed
canned tamale, as no one here makes them.
There are other Mexican dishes CT
which we are fond, but they are too cors-
plicated to be undertaken by the average
cook Serve light bread-or corn bread II
you can get It and like it--and coffee with
a Mexican supper Bananas. pineappieH.
and ambrosia are the typical Mexican des-
serts.
The dishes I have indicated may be
made as pungent with condiments as ones
taste dictates. I make them mildly hot for
those who are not familiar with the pep
perry compounds. One gets used to them
in time and likes them. In our family we
ike them fiery.

Our masculine member suggests an excel

mincemeat is in high season. If there are
more than are needed for this purpose, the
surplus may be utilized as tomato soy.

Sail Rising Bread.

I cannot repress my amusement at the
predicament of the correspondent who has
made good salt rising bread and yet wants
to know how it is done!' Iinclose a recipe
which is, f1atter myself. explicit enough
for an amateur cook to follow safely. The
best cooks will tell you that salt rising
bread is tricky It may be good and it
may not be. Whether the success de-
pends upon luck or upon skill, is not
for me to say.
At night slice two large raw potatoes
quite thin. Add a tablespoonful of flour,
a teaspoonful of sugar, a half teaspoon
full of salt, and one-fourth of a teaspoon
full of soda. Over this pour a pint of
warm. but not hot water; cover all closely
and keep warm over night. In the morn
ing put this mixture into a double boiler
and keep warm (never hot, rememberD
at the back of the range until it is foamy.
Then take out the sliced potatoes and throw
them away.
Add to what is left cupful of milk
which has been scalded then cooled to
blood warmth; a tablespoonful of lard, a
teaspoonful OF sugar. and half teaspoon
ful Of salt Lastly stir In a pint OF
warmed flour and set away in a warm place
