I had to brag because I normally can't cook worth a ... well let's just say that my cooking is soo bad that I normally don't cook at all. BUT, this time HA HA I did it right.

There's just one problem...

My husband isn't home yet and I'm afraid I might eat all the evidence before he gets here. He'll never believe me if I do but they taste soo good. I don't think I can wait.

Ugh, the agony of decision making.

Welcome to my world. Everyone thinks I'm a horrible cook too, but once the coast is clear I take out my fancy cookwear and apron and create a masterful work of culinary art all for myself. Till this day, no one quite thinks I can cook good at all!

Once again, welcome to my world. Enjoy the fried green tomatas for yourself, and leave the juicy details for your husband.

Don't you feel fat?

I have lots of green tomatoes in my garden, but frying food is not good for my stomach. It makes it plump on the outside

If my husband drove up while I was frying green tomatoes, he'd be mad.

It sucks being married to be health nut.

Eat Em! Eat Em! Eat Em!

Fried green tomatoes are much too good to share. Tell hubby to go pick his own tomatoes.

Eat one for me, too. Oops. Eat 10 for me.

Report:

My husband agreed that the tomatoes were good :) but, when I asked, "Are these the best Fried Green Tomatoes you ever had?" He paused for a moment and said, "I haven't had enough to know yet."

LOL!! It's a good thing I didn't ask if I was the best lover he ever had.

The recipe I used was to cut them about 1/4 of an inch thick and then I salted them. I dipped them in a 1/2 flour and 1/2 corn meal mix with pepper and fried them till golden brown on both sides. I didn't use any kind of fancy recipe.

End result:

I'm miserably stuffed now.

Tell me you feel fat.

It's okay -
as long as she's happy.

I know she's happy - she just had fried green tomatoes. What's not to be happy about?

Unless hubby ate the last one.

I always feel fat, always. But until I digest this, I will feel even fatter.

Actually, no my husband didn't eat the last one and I was offended but then he said he planned to eat more later this eve.

He better or I'll cram it down his throat. :D

Is that a southern thing?

I'm not certain.

Yes, right from my garden.

I love tomatoes. I will eat tomatoes as if I'm eating apples. I even crave tomatoes at times. I wonder why.

What kind of nutritional value do tomatoes have, does anyone know?

Really? ... I just always thought of them as luscious and juicy. I never realized they were good for me to.

Huh, that's really interesting information. I suppose I can eat on where tomatoes are concerned. :D

I like the way the juice squirts out all over the place when I bite into one. It runs down my chin and all over the place. I do not mind my manners when I eat tomatoes.

Once, when my husband and I went out to eat, my husband bit into a small cherry tomato and a seed flew out of it. The seed landed on the guy's head sitting across from us.

We laughed so hard we were crying. The guy across from us didn't know it happened but it was comical!

Ripe tomatoes are good for you; but fried green tomatoes - no.

Anything fried in bacon fat is bad for you. Sorry!
