Does it seem possible that the luscious tomato was ever considered poisonous and that sure death awaited the eater? A fact it is, though, but most of us would prefer to think of this vegetable as the one-time " love-apple "; surely it is a name that conjures up more delightful thoughts when the juicy red tomatoes are broiling. Put in the blazer a tablespoonful of butter, and while it melts cut in thick slices some large ripe tomatoes. Dust them with salt, pepper, and, if the tooth be sweet, a bit of sugar; then dip in cracker dust and lay in the blazer, turning frequently until they look " just right to eat." They make a delightful accompaniment for a chop or a deviled kidney.
