2. well. I just pulled 19 tomatoes off my volunteer tonight, as they're freezing, literally, |
|
on the vine.
only one turned red. the rest are hard as rock and green
what's the best way to fix them?
thx
btw, the red one weighs well over a pound, and tastes better than any I've had this year. glad I got it tonight, because some critter had taken a small bite out of it. I cut that part away

5. No recipe, but a tip... |
|
I have never made fried green tomatoes, so I don't have a recipe. But, a Southern friend of mine recommends that you get the tomatoes really, really cold (but not frozen) before battering and frying them. I guess that keeps them from turning to mush.

6. first, have a daughter, grow her up, have her learn to cook, then dump her |
|
boyfriend, and move back home. then, slice the tomatoes thin- 1/4", dip in your favorite batter, then in cornmeal. fry in more oil than is good for you. enjoy.
