• Um Um Good

  

  What a treat!  When I went to mother's today to do her Monday chores she had some green tomatoes waiting for me to fry up for us. A friend of hers who knows how much mom loves fried green tomatoes had given her five nice green tomatoes. They were delicious. Unlike a lot of recipes for fried green tomatoes, my favorite one uses bread crumbs rather than corn meal. But as an added bonus it calls for parsley, parmesan cheese and, of all things, orange rind added to the bread crumb mixture.  Makes a mighty tasty treat. At first we were eating them using a knife and fork, but then mom said the very best way to eat them was with your fingers.  She's right. You just pick them up and eat them like a candy bar.
