fried green tomatoes

i really always loved this movie. even though it's sad, i must have watched it like 15 times in a row when i was a kid. some of that may have been because i always thought the fried green tomatoes looked so darn good, although i never ate them until yesterday. over the past couple months chad and i have become burnt out and bored of opening the fridge and seeing the same old food with which we make the same old recipes. in remedy of this we've begun searching for new and exciting dishes to spice up our dining experience. enter: fried green tomatoes! i saw them at the store and, on a whim, new we just had to try them. we did it, and it turned out fabulously!

i looked up a bunch of recipes on the Internet and then decided that i'd make my own hybrid recipe. you'll need the following ingredients:

3 green tomatoes
1/2c. flour
1/4c. milk
2/3c. bread crumbs/cornmeal
1/4c. oil
2 eggs
salt
pepper

first, slice your toms into 1/2" thick slices. not too thick, not too thin. then, in a bowl combine eggs and milk. beat. in a separate bowl, combine flour and bread crumbs. you may need more flour and bread mixture depending-so keep it on hand. dip tomato slices in: egg mixture then bread crumb mixture, twice (egg, bread, egg, bread). put oil in pan and heat. after hot, fry the slices 'till brown on both sides. salt and pepper to taste. enjoy!

these were so delicious. they've got an almost citrus-y taste to them. as we were gorging ourselves we decided that there are endless possibilities for these. they'd be great with mozzarella cheese them and a marinara sauce. or maybe baked with goat cheese? you could even add stuff to the bread crumb mixture like basil and oregano for an italian feel. or cyan pepper, or garlic. mmm.....
