Fried Green Tomatoes

Not the movie, no, the real stuff.  We are supposed to have below-freezing temps tonight, so I picked all the green tomatoes and brought them in and fried them.  You can see them sitting on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.  They look so oily in the picture, but they weren’t, I promise.  They were so yummy!  They are sort of tart-sweet on the inside, like green tomatoes would be, but the cornmeal coating on the outside is salty and it’s just a really good combination.

I also made deviled eggs this afternoon.  My children LOVE those.  In fact, my daughter tested them twice before supper, she said to make sure they’re safe for the rest of you to eat.  Uh huh.

I went out book shopping today at the thrift stores.  I found some keepers.  You can see my treasures, and I have been lazily reading and enjoying the play Driving Miss Daisy which is in the literature book I found.  That play is awesome.  I have never seen the movie, but now I know what all the hooha was about.  What a touching story.   

Anyway, the literature book has got a lot of good stuff I’ll want to be doing with Joe for school the rest of this week.

There’s a book about Beatrix Potter, and a story by Louisa May Alcott that is lesser known than her other work, and W.O.W. is a book of quotes by writers about writing by Jon Winokur.  The others are treasures too.

    I’ve never had fried green tomatoes…but your’s look really good!
    We’ve had frost (even snow yesterday), so I doubt my leftover greens would work…

    Another good thrift store run! The Beatrix Potter book looks very nice.

    Have a good day in your corner of the world–

    Your Northern friend, Michele

    Thanks Michele. They were good. I am really enjoying the books I found, including a first edition copy of John Brown’s Body. Yes. I will be posting about it later.
