Spanish tomatoes (Mildred) Stuffed baked potatoes (Brownie) Biscuits (anybody) Pancakes and maple syrup (Jack) 212 THE FUN OF COOKJNa ^^ Spanish tomatoes sounds good/' said Mil- dred, reading her easy rule. SPANISH TOMATOES 6 tomatoes, peeled and chopped, or 1 can. 3 chopped green peppers (first cut each in two and take out the seeds). % an onion (chop with the peppers). y^ teaspoonful salt. 3 shakes pepper. 1 large teaspoonful chopped parsley. Mix all together and cook ahout tw^ity minutes, slowly, or till they look like a thick paste. Pour over buttered toast. Mother Blair had put a can of tomatoes on the kitchen table and the peppers with it, so it took only a few moments to get this first dish ready; then while it stood waiting to go over the fire and cook, Mildred made the biscuits and popped them into the oven. Brownie washed and baked the potatoes and when they were done she stuffed them beautifully and just browned them at the last moment, and Mildred made the toast to go under the tomatoes. Everything was delicious, and while Jack made the cakes and brought them in, one plate- ful after another, all hot and steaming, the family said what fun it all was. **Isn't it queer that some girls just hate to WHEN NOEAH WAS AWAY 213 cook, and think it 's simply dreadful when they have no maid and have to do their own workT^ said Mildred. * * When I 'm grown up — ^I 'm go- ing to have a house — ^no, a flat, I guess, that 's cunninger, — ^and do every single bit of my own work. ^ ' ^*Do,'' said Brownie enthusiastically; **and I '11 come and stay with you and help you. ' ' **So will I,'' laughed their father. *'And so will I,'' said Mother Blair. **But you '11 have to hurry up and learn lots more, Mildred; there are just hundreds of things you can learn to cook, and all of them are ever so good. ' ' **I 'm going to learn every single one,*' said Mildred solemnly. As the week went by, the children found they were really learning ever so many of the ** hun- dreds'' of good things their mother spoke of. Among them were these, the rules for which they put right in their books with the rest : EGGS IN RAMEKINS 4 eggs. 4 rounds of buttered toast. Sprinkle of salt and pepper. Butter any small dishes; put in the toast rounds, break an egg carefully on each, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in the oven till the eggs are done. 214 THE FUN OF COOKING EASY MEAT PIE 1 cup chopped cooked meat. 1 cup boiling water. 1 teaspoonful chopped parsley. 1 teaspoonful chopped onion. % teaspoonful salt.
