What a nice surprise.........the mail lady showed up at my front door with a huge box from my daughter Misty Sue...........a care package.........actually it had a Mothers Day card in the box.....that she forgot to sign! LOL..........she does remind me of me..........sigh. The box was full of fun surprises........things I really need, that I can't get here.........and I never even mentioned them to her............she just knew. Love my kids!
Yes, I even liked Fried Green Tomatoes.......before I moved to the south. If you haven't tried them.......they are crispy on the outside, soft and tart on the inside........a flavor all their own.
You need about 2-4 large green tomatoes. Slice them about 1/4 of an inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Pour some buttermilk in a pie tin........in another pie tin mix, about a cup of cornmeal with about a cup of flour and some creole seasoning.......at least a shot of cayenne. Then put another pie tin with just plain flour in it.........Okay, get your grease ready.....heat up about 2" of grease in a skillet til just hot but not smoking.......Dip your tomato slice into the plain flour, then the buttermilk, then the cornmeal mixture. Fry two or three at a time about 3 min on each side...........remove to paper towell. This just made my mouth water!
This is a great dip for them......just spread a little on each bite.......Just mix tog all of the following:
3/4 cup mayo, a Tblsp of dijon mustard, a Tblsp of finely chopped bread and butter pickles, about 1 Tblps lemon juice, a shot of Tabasco, salt and pepper.
I really love learning all the different recipes that these great Southern ladies cook! More to come.
