matt1215 0 #26 August 14, 2006 Hate to be a buzzkill, but my mom and sister like tomatoes way more than I do. They use tomatoes way more than I like in their cooking (tho BLT's are my favorite). On a funny note, my dog loved eating tomatoes off the plants. We had a tough time growing them one year until she planted some in the middle of the lawn. Healthiest/most tomatoes I've ever seen come from a single plant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Royd 0 #27 August 14, 2006 QuoteI also planted some california wonders (bell peppers), thai hot chili peppers, and jalapenos, all of which have plenty of fruit growing on them. Here's my question on the peppers though, how the hell will I know when they're ripe? Seriously! I'm a nut for habeneros. You can pick them green, or wait until they turn color. At that point, they should offer little resistance when picked. Here in Fl. you have to keep an eye on them because of the humidity. They will go from ripe to rotten in about three days.

Slices or whole, smaller tomatoes?What Krisanne said is true... Classically they would just be Sliced, salted and peppered to taste, coated in Cornmeal and fried in vegetable oil (or bacon grease) (when I've done it I just pan fried them on the stove...) or if you want to be a bit more creative... salt and pepper to taste, dust with flour, dip in a beaten egg, and again coat with cornmeal before pan frying (in Vegi oil) its a very common southern dish...

NWFlyer 2 #30 August 14, 2006 Quote its a very common southern dish... Yep, last time I had them I was in South Carolina. I've had the very-deep fried type (almost tempura) and the lighter cornmeal-dusted type and definitely prefer the latter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #32 August 14, 2006 QuoteI like them green and FRIED!\ Yes.. iv'e heard that they are very good... though i never did hear of them til the movie of the same title came out...How about Pickled green tomatoes??? made much like pickled cucumbers, these are unripened fruit,,, soaked in brine and vinegar,, until seasoned. They make a nice addition to most any healthy salad...somewhat liked pickled peppers. Not sure just how to make them, but They are available at my local specialty grocery store, in one quart jars...

JENNR8R 0 #33 August 14, 2006 I like this recipe because it doesn't include green peppers. Chunky Gazpacho 8 really ripe tomatoes, chopped 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped 1 onion, chopped 5 green onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons horseradish 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped ¼ cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Juice of 1 lemon 4 cups V8 juice 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce 1 tablespoon salt Freshly ground black pepper Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. It is best served very cold. Yields about 12 cups.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
