=Aubergines Farcies.=--Cut eggplants in halves lengthwise, remove the
inside and of this make a farcie by mixing it with chopped parsley, two
chopped onions and salt and pepper. Stuff the eggplant halves with this
mixture and put the combination into a casserole containing a good
quantity of melted butter and allow to simmer over a slow fire till all
is thoroughly done. Cover the tops with breadcrumbs, add a drop of oil
or a little melted butter and keep piping hot till served.
=Omelette au Rhum.=--Prepare an omelette as for any sweet omelette and
just before serving place on a hot platter, pour rum over, ignite and
carry to the table blazing.

=Potage Riz, Creçy.=--Cut several firm, red carrots lengthwise, using
only the red part. Place in a casserole with a good bouillon and allow
to simmer over a slow fire. Pass through a sieve when the carrots are
soft, and put back in the bouillon. Add a cupful of cooked rice, bring
to a boil and serve.
=Canapés de Saumon Fumé.=--Cut a smoked salmon into slices and spread
them with butter, adding pepper and salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Heat
over a crisp fire, place on a hot dish, cover with croutons and serve.
=Paupiettes de Porc, Sauce Piquante.=--Take small slices of cold roast
pork and spread them with sausage meat. Roll them and fasten with
skewers, then cover with a thin coating of lard or with oiled paper and
cook them over a low fire in a casserole. When thoroughly done, take off
the papers, cover with breadcrumbs and brown. Serve with a piquant
sauce.
=Asperges en Petits Pois.=--Cut up the green part of two bunches of
asparagus, roll in butter and add a little salt. Heat a cupful of flour,
being careful not to allow it to color, and dredge the asparagus with
it. Put into a saucepan with sufficient milk and water in equal parts to
cover, add a bouquet of herbs and allow the whole to simmer till the
asparagus is cooked. Season with white pepper and serve.
=Tarte à la Turque.=--Boil a cupful of rice till thick in milk to which
has been added a stick of cinnamon, a little lemon juice and sugar. When
the rice is cooked allow to cool. Make a border of it on a buttered
plate and fill the center with a marmalade made as follows: Cut the
peeled stalks of a bunch of rhubarb into dice and allow them to simmer
in a small amount of water till they are of the consistency of
marmalade. Add three or four teaspoonfuls of sugar, a lump of butter and
the rind of a lemon. Take from the fire and immediately add the beaten
yolks of two eggs. Arrange, as stated, in the middle of the rice,
sprinkle with a little more sugar and set in the oven for fifteen
minutes or more before serving.
