Fried Rice Recipe

The plain boiled rice intended to be served like a vegetable or for a

simple dessert might not all be used. If a cupful were left it could be

cut in thin slices and browned in butter for breakfast, or it could be

stirred into the soup made from the left-overs, as described in one of

our former lessons. The little maid must learn to use all her odds and

ends, and a good way to teach her would be to ask her what she thought

could be prepared from the small quantity of food left from a meal.

While often there might not be enough for the whole family, there might

be plenty for the few that happened to be home for the noon luncheon, or

perhaps only enough for the school lunch that after a while gets to be

such a hard thing for mother to fix up "in a different way."
