Boil 1 cup rice in salted water; add to it, when done, 1 teacup chopped meat, 1/2 cup or less of chili sauce and butter size of a walnut. Serve hot.
Take left-over salmon, break up into little pieces; add crisp, shredded lettuce and mix thoroughly with sour cream salad dressing. Serve with crackers.
Take crackers, butter meagerly; spread with grated cheese and sprinkle with little cayenne pepper; place in oven for short time; then serve hot with hash or other light meat dishes.
Put the broth or gravy left over from a chicken into a pan; make more by adding milk, cream, butter, a little more thickening and seasoning. Put into this, when cooked, left-over chicken taken from the bones and cut into little squares, the dressing cut up small, if any; a little rice, if on hand; leftover hard-boiled eggs, cut into small pieces or chopped; let all come to a boil; season with red pepper, salt, butter, etc., and serve on small pieces toast. It should be quite watery when served so as to soak the toast. Veal may also be used in this way.
Place a tablespoon butter into a saucepan and let brown; add 1 tablespoon flour and stir together until it makes a paste; then put in the liquor from oysters, to thin; add 2 tablespoons catsup; cook all together, and just before serving, add the oysters. Serve on diagonally shaped pieces of toast, placed on a platter, and garnish with parsley.
