The Brussels Post, 1914-8-20, Page 6, flints for the Home With Tomatoes. To Prepare Tomatoes for Salads. -Put the tomatoes in the frying basket or some sort of strainer, dip them in boiling water for one min- ute et; that they are completely cov- ered, lift out, .peel, aud chill. Slieed Tomato Salad. - Slice the -tomatoes in slices of the same thiek- nese, place on lettuce leaves, and then vary as you please by adding chopped raw vegetables. A salad recommended for serving with fish is a sort ol tomato sandwich. Cover one slice with well chilled chopped cucunaber, another with chopped green pepper, another with chop- ped onion, and then place a slice of tomato over •each. Thick slices of cucumber and then a little round of tomato on top of that, cut out with a ,outter, is another mode. Finely shaved celery and chopped cress are sometimes added to alternate slime. Chopped mixtures of various sorts, if well blended, are used on -slices tomato. Chopped cabbage with green pepper and chopped toma- toes is one of the less -usual combin- ations. A French dressing and goad cooked dressings are best for these salads. German Tomato Salad. - Slice well chilled tomatoes and serve with little German pearl onions. Instead of these very small cooked boiling onions may be used. Very decora- tive salads may be made with the little yellow and red plum tomatoes. Scald quickly, peel and chill and ar- range on lettuce leaves with the yellow ones in the middle and the red ones around. Character is giv- en to this salad by adding a few • drops of onion juice to the dressing • or rubbing the dressing bowl 'with a dove orf garlic. Stuffed Tomato Salad. -Cut off a cap from the stem end of peeled and chilled tomatoes, scoop out the cen- tres, and sprinkle the inside very lightly with salt. Chop the tomato taken out and mix with the finely mixed pulp of cucumbers thorough- ly chilled and seasoned to taste with ealt and pepper arid a little onion juice. Fill the tomatoes, put on the cape, and surround them with a weeath of water cress. Serve with cooked dressing. Other chopped vegetables raw or even cooked may be used to fill the tomatoes. Serve with a cooked -dressing made as fol- lows; One egg, four tablespoons of vinegar, one-half cup of milk a small square of butter, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon of ;mustard, a pinch of pepper. Mix the dry ingredients well together, add the egg and beat very thor- oughlv. then the vinegar, and beat a -minute. Add the milk and thee cook in double boiler, add the but- ter just before taking from fire. This is especially good for coveted vegetables. Balled Tomatoes. -Wash and gash once or twice across the .blossom end, and bake in a small pan. They -will be done almost as soon as they are well heated through. If stuffed !before they are baked, do not use cracker crumbs unless your toma- toes are as ripe as ripe can be. Bak- ed tomatoes with shirred eggs: Peal small and solid tomatoes, scoop out the centre, and season slightly with a sprinkling of salt ..and pepper, then break an .egg into each. Stand the tomatoes in abak- ing dish and cook for ten or lteen minutes in an oven that is not too hot. Patahoi.-This is an East Indian breakfast dish for one person, but doubled it makes an excellent luncheon dish for two. Cut one or two large peeled tomatoes in .slices and fry them in a little butter. When they are tender add an egg well beaten, cook, while stirring both together, until a a very smooth consistency.

Present indications are that the Germens' main attempt to reach Paris will be through Mean te gitory. The out- look is that battles will be fought around Brussels, Liege, and Namur, and it may be that another conclusive engagement will take place at Waterloo, which is not named on the map, but is located just west of Brussels. Other German armies are operating to the west of Metz, and near Epinal, lower down on the French border. The North Sea is also shown, with the principal ports plainly indicated. Beef immersed in sour milk will keep for months. Two quarts of soup will serve from six to eight persons. Scraped raw potatoes put into de- canters will olean them if left for two or three days. One gallon of ice cream, if served on plates, will serve e4; if in sher- bet glasses, 30 at least. A daily bath, into which a little bicarbonate of soda -is put, will al- lay the burning of the feet.
