My great grandmother and grandmother -- both from Arkansas -- made fried green tomatoes every summer while I was growing up. The hubby and kids don't get it. Oh well, their loss! Just means more for me ;).
Now my two Southern grandmothers would be appalled that I don't fix 'em right, but I think all that flour and cornmeal just gets in the way. I just like mine fried up in a little olive oil and butter with salt and pepper.
Yes, just right. Now that's the way to start your day.
Oh yeah... just right. I love the tangy, meaty flavor of the tomatoes.
I'm thinking maybe a fried green tomato lunch. How about you? Want to join?
These are the mornings I love. No rush (at least not too much) and a chance to doing something I haven't done in long, long while. When I was working at the "job," I would have grabbed a can of protein drink to slug down while I was make that hour long commute. Maybe my muse isn't so far away after all (at least I'm hoping she close by today because I have lots of product descriptions to write).
Enjoy your day, everyone!

ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm your newest follower. :)
Over the years I have filled my yard to capacity with flower gardens. I have often regretted that I do not have a place for a vegetable garden. I am so envious!
ReplyDeleteMy paternal grandmother was from the south, too. I lived with her when I was in high school and I didn't care for her southern cuisine at the time. As I have gotten older, I'm discovering that I like many foods that I turned my nose up at when I was a kid. I'm game to try anything now!
