Choose enough large, smooth tomatoes to fill a shallow pudding-dish. Cut a slice from the top of each, scoop out the inside. Chop the pulp with a little cold meat, taken from your soup, a sprinkling of minced onion, and the grated corn from two cobs. Season with pepper, salt and butter; fill the tomatoes, put on the top slices; fill the interstices with the force-meat, pour on a little gravy, cover and bake forty minutes—then brown.
Cauliflower with Sauce Tartare.
Boil a large cauliflower—tied in netting—in hot salted water, from twenty-five to thirty minutes. Drain; serve in a deep dish with the flower upwards, and pour over it a cup of drawn butter, in which has been stirred the juice of a lemon, and a half teaspoonful of French mustard, mixed up well with the sauce.
Sweet Potatoes.
Please see Wednesday of First Week in September.
Melons, Peaches, and Pears.
Serve the melons upon a flat dish; the other fruit in baskets, or upon fruit-stands, garnished with leaves.
Black Coffee, Crackers and Cheese.
Pass very strong hot coffee without cream, in small cups of clear china, and fancy crackers with grated cheese.
