Rice with Bananas

Peel and scrape three well-ripened bananas and mash them with a fork to a smooth, creamy pulp, adding a very few drops of lemon-juice. Stir this lightly into one cup of cold cooked rice and serve with or without sweetened cream. This is nutritious dish, and attractive to children. Bananas have a much better flavor if purchased a little green, and if each one is then wrapped carefully in waxed paper, put in a clean, covered box a with a little excelsior, and ripened in a dry, warm place.
