Jun. 26, 2008 - Bliss!

My Aunt Fran is a busy woman.
Ever since my Uncle died (has it really been over to 10 years ago?) she's stayed busy.
Really busy.
She lives "in town" and I rarely see her. Unless I bump into her at the grocery store...

She works part time at the Senior Center. She's been "dating" a widowed gentleman. She meets with a group of ladies to play cards (Guy calls them "The Blue Hairs"). She goes to church Wednesday night and twice on Sundays. And she's often on trips out of town.

But she finally made time for us last night. She's been promising me my favorite treat for some time now.
Yes, there was whining and pleading involved.

But I have no shame when it comes to this:Fried green tomatoes!
It's a southern staple and mine just never taste the same.

So she told me I had to feed her supper and she'd make them for me us (I had to share).
Deal!
So forgive the mess, it was all cleaned up after both cooks were done:

We truly enjoyed the visit and she promised to come back SOON and do it again!

Apparently she didn't mean tonight, though. *sigh*

You lucky duck. I don't have anyone to make those for me and I usually go to the local Mom & Pop to get me some. The rest of my family doesn't like them, so I get them all to myself. Hailing originally from MA. I had never had them until moving down south 15 years ago. I have tried, but, alas, I lack the skills to make a yummy fried tomatoe. Hope she comes back soon to make you some more.

I have to say that, while I do not care for tomatoes, these look pretty good! Glad she had a chance to spoil you! And how perfectly adorable that she is dating! :-)

AWESOME!

I had fried green tomatoes once way, way, way back in history. I was probably in junior high at a friend's house. They were wonderful. I haven't had them since because I was afraid I would "taint" the experience or the memory. *sigh* Those were good.

Glad you had some wonderful time with your aunt. Sorry you had to share. *giggle*
