Green fried tomatoes
My wife called me to supper last evening, it was one of my favorites; Green fried tomatoes. She fixes them following my recipe; Slice 'em ¼" thick, Dip in a whipped whole egg batter, roll in soda cracker crumbs, and fry until brown in a hot skillet. No side dishes needed. I can make a whole meal of them.

I love truffle risotto and a lot of other Italian dishes. For a while i thought that my love to pasta is the reason why i always have a little belly sticking out but after i read this article \https://betterme.world/articles/stomach-sticks-оut/ I realized that it is an absolutely different problem. I need to work on my posture first and see if it helps.

Wild strawberries
Wild strawberries; If you haven't enjoyed them, you probably never will. Circa 1940s I knew of only one wild strawberry patch. It was located on a ditch bank on a local back country road. In that era, the roads weren't sprayed with pesticides etc. for all the things, that our roads are sprayed for today, and the strawberries were safe for us kids to eat. We kids bicycled by that patch on the way to our swimming hole, every day. We picked, and ate 'em while they were in season. The berries were small, about the size of the first joint of your little finger, sweet as sugar, and had an indescribable, exquisite strawberry flavor.

I remember wild strawberries well from back in the early 1960s. We lived in a rather outlying area that while it looked like a housing development the yards weren't nicely manicured suburban lawns. Wild strawberries grew in our yard. I can remember my late mother making a strawberry pie, and I had picked a bunch of wild strawberries to put in it. She made sure to put all the wild strawberries together and to give me that piece of the pie.
I miss Leon's posts also. My favorite mal is Venison stew & home made biskits when there is snow on the ground.

Pick anything unhealthy and it'll be on my list, except fish.
Nowadays grilled salmon is my favorite.
Foods I miss the most:
Anything fried by my dad that wasn't liver. Fish, chicken, rabbit, venison backstrap sweet breads, they were some the tastiest meals ever. He was the best fry-cook ever. Dad grew up on a dust-bowl farm and no meat was wasted at our house. I'll eat most anything, but drew a line at calf brains & eggs[emoji2961]
Mom's fig preserves.
Granny's pecan pie.
I think, though, my most satisfying meal ever was in a freezing-cold deer camp when I was about 12. A can of Ranch Style beans, heated in the can and poured over two slices of bread topped with slices of Longhorn cheese.
Where dad was the fry-master, I'm the grill-master. I'd rather DIY any kind of meat before going out. Not only can I do it better, it's about 1/5th the cost.

I come from a land where beans on toast (with or without cheese) is a national dish.
To change things up I will crush Fritos on it.
how about bread & butter pickles.. grandma called them refrigerator pickles... sweet spicy sour & cruncy..
I never follow a recipe... but this is a good basic one to start from.. I use multiple vinegars and add some black pepper & garlic...

Ruthie does something similar with cukes and onions. We cheat sometimes and get these gastronomic delights. I am usually good for at least half a jar at a sitting.
A favorite local variation here in the Chesapeake Bay region is to top those fried green tomatoes with lump crabmeat, and drizzle remoulade sauce over them...makes my mouth water just thinking about them!

That combination is something I would never have thought of but as we love all three items you can bet your bumbershoot that we're gonna try it.
It works surprisingly well, Rusty. A number of restaurants in these parts offer it as an appetizer, and it's delicious. Bon appetit!
We have a wild strawberry patch in a corner of our back yard but the turtles always get to them first. Same with our mulberry tree. The birds eat them as soon as they are perfectly ripe. They know.
Me too.....thanks for bringing this back and keeping Leon in our memories.
Have a blessed day

Tomato Soup
I'm setting here having a Store bought version of mom's homemade tomato soup, as I read today's posts. I used to crumble up Soda crackers and put them in it, as I never cared for oyster crackers, that most folks use.

I miss reading OJC's Sabbath Day posts.
The one thing I like, and miss, was my Mom's meat loaf. IT was always tasty, she put little pieces of white cheddar cheese in it.
Plus she made a beef gravy with mushrooms to serve with it.
And it wasn't a recipie she had written down, just one that was in her head.
And sadly, like her, it's gone.
