My mother-in-law Nellie from Indiana,showed mme how to cook fried tomatoes when I was first married in 1949. I have tried other recipes...but these are the BEST. Thank you mom, for all your farm recipes. I know you are looking down on me all the time.. with your love. This recipe is a little different because of the oatmeal. She believed you make do... with what you got! Nancy....9/28/12
