Moulded Rice, Wine Sauce

In 1914 November 3 was a Tuesday.

I think the Moulded Rice is just that — hot rice pressed into a form. No recipe has appeared yet. I guess the addition of wine sauce makes it dessert.

Dinner Rolls
*Cole Slaw
Macedoine Jelly
Toasted Crackers
Pimiento Cheese

In 1914 February 18 was a Wednesday.

I haven’t found a recipe for Macedoine Jelly. I think it’s a dessert, although the Boston Cooking-School Cook Book glossary defines Macédoine as A mixture of several kinds of vegetables. A New Book of Cookery has a recipe for Macedoine of Fruit, in which the fruit is suspended in gelatin.
