Green Tomatoes! What do I do with them all?
@CJ McD - Thanks! Oh yeah, the buttermilk definitely makes it! It's not actually "my" recipe ... it's from Southern Living, but it's the best recipe for fried green tomatoes I've ever tried. Your green tomato relish sounds out of this world! It has been copied and pasted straight to my recipes. Can't wait to try it!

Green Tomatoes! What do I do with them all?
These are the BEST!! We dip them in ranch dressing.
Fried Green Tomatoes
If your family has a large appetite, you may want to double this recipe.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 medium-size green tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch slices
Vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Combine egg and buttermilk; set aside.
Combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or pan.
Dredge tomato slices in remaining 1/4 cup flour; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in cornmeal mixture.
Pour oil to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet; heat to 375°. Drop tomatoes, in batches, into hot oil, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels or a rack. Sprinkle hot tomatoes with salt.
Green Tomatoes! What do I do with them all?
Fried green tomatoes of course!!
It's Over - What candy is left, and what will you do with it?
We have a whole bowl of assorted candy (didn't have as many trick or treaters as expected) and 2 unopened bags of Reese's Lovers (which I'll freeze). The bowl is on my kitchen island so we're kinda just picking through it.
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I have so many, but my favorite is PWC.
Thanksgiving Vegetable Sides
oops - after "drain" it should say remove green beans and set aside.
Thanksgiving Vegetable Sides
I make these every year and they are the BEST green beans!!
Garlic Green Beans
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
1 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
Place first 3 ingredients in a Dutch oven; cover and cook over medium heat 30 minutes. Drain.
Melt butter in Dutch oven; add garlic and lemon pepper, and sauté mixture over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Add green beans, and sauté 5 minutes.
Makes 8 servings

Any food you could eat daily til' you kick the bucket?!

Best Halloween Candy?
sour patch kids, gummy bears, warheads, twizzlers
Pizza: A cure for the blues?

Pittsburgh restaurant suggestions
You MUST have breakfast at Deluca's!!
Chocolate Covered Star Cookies
Look at the cookies in the middle of the tin ... is that the cookie?
Chocolate Covered Star Cookies
I'm pretty sure those are made by Stauffers. The star cookies aren't on their website but you could call or email them and find out for sure if they make them.
Stupid to Make Homemade Halloween Treats?
@arm1970 - we have that law in our schools too.
Special Halloween Meal?
I make buffalo chicken wing dip every Halloween. I just happened to make it one Halloween night 5 years ago and now it's sort of a tradition.
Stupid to Make Homemade Halloween Treats?
I have 2 children, ages 18 and 13 so they don't trick or treat anymore, but when they were little I wouldn't let them eat homemade treats unless I knew the person who made them.

@Alaina, I have Windows XP, Internet Explorer and Version 8 - I am also unable to "save" a favorite post. Nothing happens when I click on "Favorite"
Coke=Stroke
SavtaShayna, I agree with jerzee: if you can find a hispanic grocer who sells Mexican coke (in the small glass bottles!), that is the way to go.
Also, around Passover time, look for the two litre bottles of Coke Classic with the yellow cap. Not Coke with Lemon or any of the diet versions. 2-litre Coca-cola Classic with the yellow twist cap. See if the cap is marked Kosher for Passover by one of the certifying agencies. If so, stock up. That's US manufactured Coke made with sugar instead of HFCS, since corn is not allowed for Jews of ashkenazi descent at Passover. The 2-litre bottles hold up their carbonation just fine, until opened.
Coke=Stroke
savtashayna, i think what most people who live in midwood do is stock up on the pesadig version, which is made with real sugar. or you could follow jerzee's suggestion and track down a hispanic grocer.
