Fried Green Tomatoes, Now?

     By my count it's a mere 10 days from Thanksgiving Day and I'm  fetching in fresh off the vine green tomatoes from my barrel gardens to fry. If you've never had a fried green tomato, you are truly missing out on something special! The thing that blows my socks off is this. Green  tomato season is normally late Spring to early Summer when tomatoes are just (normally) getting large but still green. My large (frying size variety) maters are just now getting to the pick and fry stage.

     I'll not complain. While I did have to wait an extra few months to fry me some green tomatoes, they will be extra special. All good things come to those who wait. Not many get fresh home grown fried green maters on their Thanksgiving table!
