Description

^# ico^i^itna / Sholt'A .1 ^ J J meaner cousm is sticking to the clod and vegetating in darkness. The sunny offspring, to be sure, not give us nearly the amount of actual we getdoes food whatfrom the darkling ; but other vegetable is there so cool- ing on hot summer days, so refreshing always, whether summer or winter, so much so, as to tempt us to call it a fruit rather than a vegetable ? If you pour boiling water over the tomatoes and allow them to stand awhile, you can easily remove their skins. Then take each between your hands, and press out some of the watery inside and as many of the hard seeds as possible. Don't rob them too much of their juice; it highlyof contains valuable mineral matters and the very acid which produces their refresh- ing and cooling effect. Put your tomatoes prepared in the above way into a skillet, and allow them to cook twenty min- utes, no longer. Add plenty of salt, and shortly theybefore are done a good-sized piece of butter and a sprinkle of pepper. If you like them thickened, add some water-cracker dust or fine bread-crumbs. To bake tomatoes, cut them into halves and place them, with end downward, side by side on a layer of bread-crumbs in a buttered gra/in-dish. Sprinkle with plenty of salt and a little white pepper. Cover up with a layer of bread-crumbs, and as haveput over it as many little pieces of butter you halves of tomatoes. Bake them in a moderate oven for from half to three-quarters of an hour.
