Rice Porridge

Put one-half pound of rice into three quarts of boiling water and let it swell until it is quite a jelly, then add to it one-fourth pound of oatmeal mixed with water and stir it well in; add also one ounce of finely-chopped onion, pepper and salt to taste, and one-half ounce of bacon fat, lard or butter, and boil all together, stirring continually. If desired the quantity of oatmeal may be larger; it may even be the same as the rice.
