Escalloped Celery

Use the coarse, large pieces of celery not suitable to serve uncooked. Cut them into small pieces. Butter a baking-dish, put in a layer of celery, then a layer of tomatoes (canned ones may be used).

Sprinkle over them a teaspoonful of chopped onion, a little salt and pepper. Repeat, having last layer tomatoes. Cover with small cubes of bread and dot with a tablespoonful of butter. Bake in hot oven half an hour.

Corn "Oysters" Grate the pulp from ears of any cooked sweet corn, and to each cup allow one egg beaten light, one tablespoonful milk, one tablespoonful flour, one teaspoonful melted butter, one half teaspoonful salt. Mix all together and drop by spoonfuls on a hot buttered griddle and brown on both sides.

A little uncooked corn pulp is a great addition to these cakes.
