By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

URING August, when the red to-
mato vies with the green corn for
a place in public favor, the home
caterer should study ways and means
whereby it may be served in many
attractive forms. In fact, many of these
preparations may take the place of meat
in the home luncheon, for almost every
body likes the flavor of tomatoes.
Due to the acid which they contain, a
little sugar is nearly always added in the
cooking, and tiny pinch of mixed spices
is also deemed an improvement by many.
When peeling tomatoes for salads
plunge them into boiling water quickly,
before slicing, as this renders them firm
and they cut better.
If boiling hot tomatoes are to be COM
bined in any way with hot milk, always
add sixteenth of a teaspoonful Of bak-
ing soda to the vegetable and then blend
slowly, stirring constantly.
Panned and grilled tomatoes with a
plain butter dressing or maitre dhotel
sauce are ideal for summer breakfast,
and the tomato oysters are prepared as
follows: Cut green tomatoes into rather
thick slices, cover with hot salted water
and place where the water will keep at
the same temperature without boiling
Let the slices stay in the water until
tender and slightly yellow, then remove,
dry and chill on the ice. When ready
to serve roll each in seasoned cornrnea1
and fry in hot bacon fat to rich brown.
In making the hot fish and tomato
sandwiches, heat the faxed leftover fish
in little highly seasoned brown sauce.
