Because | am very fond of to
matoes and also because they ar
such valuable source of vitamin {
use them in a number of way,
In fact, l can hardly cook without
tomatoes.
Tomato shortcake is a delectabl
supper dish. Make the above sauc
somewhat richer than for regula
sauce, using more butter and sugar
and then make good rich biscui
dough and make large, rather THO
hot biscuit. Split these and butte
we'll and pour the tomato sauce owe
the hot buttered biscuit halves.
An aspic jellied salad may b
made from canned tomato an,
juice. Boil to reduce quantity an,
make somewhat richer and thicke
than ordinary canned tomatoes
Season well with salt and peppe
and onion juice and celery seed
Add chopped celery and littl
green pepper. Add lemon juice o
vinegar for the acid taste. Jel
with plain gelatin in any desired
mold and serve with a salad dress
ing on lettuce.
Then, of course. tomatoe are uSec
In most vegetable soups, I believe
Cooked with leftover shredded
cold meat of any kind, it is fine tt
use in a rice border as main dish
or with sphagetti and cheese i
makes nourishing dish liked by
most everybody.
A delicious jam or marmaladt
may be made with canned tomato
by adding sugar and sliced .emor
and cooking down until very thick
Use amount of sugar one would !. Sc
in any jam, which is ABOUT weight
OF sugar for weight of frur.
Canned tomato may be used, with
other vegetables, in making g
Spanish omelet, or use with green
peas in omelet.
Added to lima beans, green OF
dried, and with bit of okra. green
or canned or dried, gumbo IS the
result, and this is delicious as well
As highly nutritious, containing
many vitamins. Add a can OF corn
and presto, a succotash is what
you will find in your pan!
I hope these suggestions may help
you to experiment with mixtures
of your own imagining. They blend
with so many other foods that they
are well-nigh indispensable in cook
Ing. You are exceedingly fortunate
in having so quarts from your
Victory garden.
II you do not use them all you
can always make chill sauce or
catsup, you know, and the points
are very high on these condiments
this year.
I forgot to mention The rarebit
and fondue, tomato adds to these
also.

II the tomatoes are whole, I use
them as salad. served on lettuce

diminished onion, some chopped
celery leaves and chopped celery
and parsley, salt and pepper to
taste, about / tablespoon sugar and
2 slices whole wheat bread broken
In very small pieces. leave out
the crust. Il use just one slice of
bread when using as sauce over
potatoes, when we don't have
gravy I have also used this over
rice, noodles or spaghetti. q for
got to write, cook this until onion
Is tender.)
also have a good recipe for sal
mon cakes which we like very
much. To one can salmon, add a
thick cream sauce, made of l heap
ing tablespoon butter or margarine,
heaping tablespoon flour, about l
cup milk, stir until all leaves the
pan and follows spoon. One small
onion chopped fine, some celery and
celery leaves chopped fine, also
parsley, salt and pepper, shape into
cakes and roll in cracker meal and
fry in fat. A good lenten dish,
too.

I seem to be in the same boat
as Mrs. C. K. of Arlington.

you'd prefer, you can also fix this
dish with spaghetti, placing mixture
and spaghetti in alternate layers
before baking.
One of our favorites is a mixed
raw beef and cooked rice hamburger
rolled in cabbage leaf and covered
with lots of tomatoes and a little
chopped carrot. This can be cooked
on top OF the stove or baked in the
oven.
For that special supper when you
