And here is another of her recipes  - Mom used to make this a lot. I loved it.

  Scalloped Tomatoes

"Mrs. C. G. Cole "Ma" submitted this to the Ames Woman's Club Cookbook  I couldn't find a copyright date but there is an "Interesting Facts Page" where the population information is from the 1930 census. She was on the "Meats" committee. " I remember mom fixing this along with cube steaks for supper. It was something mom could throw together within 1/2 hour after she came home from work. She (Ruth Cole Jackson) was a great secretary for Doane Agricultural Service most of my life. When I was in elementary school at Gilbert and we didn't have school due to snow I went to work with mom. I remember helping stamp letters and playing quietly at an unused desk or in the restroom. The office was on Ames Main street above the J.C. Penney store on the Southwest corner of Main street and Burnett Avenue." Ginny

(Note- the restroom that Ginny played in was a large room with plenty of room to play.)
