Green Tomatoes Not Fried

Sorry I meant to post this earlier, but my 2019 work life has been very hectic this week.
Misha who cooks with me at Smith Plantation discovered a recipe for Green tomato Soup in Rufus Estes’ cookbook Good Things to Eat. I can’t believe I never noticed the recipe. So, this Saturday lunch will be green tomato soup.
For those of you new to the fascination of Southerners with fried green tomatoes you should give them a try. They’re good just fried with a mayo dressing or my favorite some hot sauce. Pimento cheese sandwiches are great with fried green tomatoes. And with hamburgers as a co-worker informed me after asking his mother, “why did I keep bringing green tomatoes to work for folks”. Yes, she fried some and he’s hooked now.
Of course, I still have fig preserves I must make each weekend. The acrylic pots worked out perfect 2 weeks ago to make fig preserves.

Hope to see you there!
