Now mix it up with some curry sauce, make the whole hot, and send it to table with a few whole bay-leaves mixed in with the rice.

Only sufficient curry sauce should be added to moisten the rice--it must not be rice swimming in gravy; or you can make a well in the middle of the boiled rice and pour the curry sauce into this.
RICE BORDERS (CASSEROLES) .-- Casseroles, or rice borders, form a very handsome dish.

It consists of a large border made of rice, the outside of which can be ornamented and the centre of which can be filled with a macedoine (_i.e._, a mixture) of fruit or vegetables.

As you are probably aware, grocers have in their shop-windows small tins with copper labels, on which the word is printed "Macedoine." This tin contains a mixture of cut-up, cooked vegetables.

These are very useful to have in the house, as a nice dish can be served at a few moments' notice.
