Doggonedmysteries 
I saw yesterday that my neighbor still had his tomato plants out with some wonderful looking green one’s on it…..I may need to make a midnight plunder! That looks delightful with a nice cup of coffee…wow! I can eat that too! Now…. who would have thunk!
that looks good, I’ll have to try that one
Unfortunately, the flash wiped out the nicely browned crust. I couldn’t find my vegetable peeler so I didn’t peel the tomatoes this time and the pie was fine. I’m looking forward to having more after dinner tonight.
I gotta tell ya sweetie that pie looks a little…well…greeeeeen. I’ve never been a big fan of fried green tomatoes no matter how many times my Southern Belle great aunt Margaret tried to get me to eat them. I may have to try out this recipe, though, just in case the old taste buds have changed over the years — it sounds interesting and the cooking at this house has certainly gotten boring the past few months – lots of take-out and DS makes a mean grilled cheese! Hugs!
The pie is even better the second day when the spices have imparted more flavor. So I do suggest making it the night before you plan to eat it. 🙂 We’ll be eating the last of our pie tomorrow.
