Tomatoes

Slice washed and unpeeled tomatoes nice and thick and pat dry Heat oil--she likes olive oil--in fry pan, not too hot Dip tomato slices one at a time first in flour, then in beaten egg, and then in cracker crumbs Note: Mom says her family likes the taste of the tomatoes, so she doesn't use too much seasoning, but suggests adding salt or pepper or onion powder to flour, to taste; can also use a little Parmesan cheese or use herb or cheesy crackers for crumbs  Place in hot oil and fry til brown and toasty, turning carefully as needed Remove and set on a paper towel on plate or cookie sheet Serve immediately or keep warm in oven
