Tonight's dinner was made special by the addition of farm fresh. We had grilled steak topped with Fried Green Tomatoes,fresh peppers,onions and tomatoes as well as potatoes from my garden . A blessing of a meal at the end of a hard day...my lower back kills!
Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup corn meal
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Method
1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place cornmeal, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.
2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then cornmeal, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Oh boy - can I relate.
Morning chores, milking. Got a batch of mozzarella started.Did numerous other things while cheese was coming along. Made pizza sauce for dinner, Apple Brown Betty for whenever,and popped over to a neighbors to vaccinate her Great Pyrenees. Then home to make pizza dough, prep for pizza.
Got a break before feeding in late afternoon. Dear husband made wonderful home grown pizza. Walked our Great Pyrenees (she likes a daily break from her goats) tucked in Pyr,barn cats.
Cleaned up kitchen from dinner. Now blog break. Please share your FGT recipe. We have many too use!
Well duh! I guess yesterday was more fun filled than i thought! Didn't register that the recipe was already there. Maybe my tired eyes never made it that far.
I will be eating crow with those tomatoes!!
