Our tomato garden this year was a miserable disappointment due to the extremely hot weather. My plants had plenty of blossoms but produced only a handful of tomatoes all summer long. The weather cooled off and all the sudden our tomato plants were flourishing with tiny green fruit. A couple of days ago I picked the last of our crop luckily because we had our first hard freeze last night. I decided to make fried green tomatoes and share them on Instructables! Fried green tomatoes are a delightful dish served from early summer to late fall in the south. I have never met anyone who did not like them. They have a great flavor but very different than that of a regular ripe tomato. I wish I could have them all year round.

This is what you will need:
To make a buttermilk substitute measure 1 1/2 cups whole milk and 1 1/2 Tablespoons of white vinegar and mix. Wait 5 minutes and then use when needed.
Here is where I found a recipe that I wanted to try:

- 1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Pinch cayenne (I used paprika because I did not have cayenne)
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (I used a substitute because I did not have Butter milk) listed below
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large unripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, ends removed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (I omitted butter did not see where it was needed)
- Hot pepper sauce, for serving (I used creme cheese, parsley, and bacon)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- I added chopped parsley to 1/2 of the flour

Cheers, Sunshiine
The whole weekend was very good (like the 4th of July) but I know how much booze is too much and did the "get out of the 'kin-road and on the pavement!" job for my less careful friends(who both persisted in trying to kiss me...)
