Fried Green Tomatoes with TVP

Judy and I were out in the garden, looking at the tomato plant which was wilting and discovered it was nicely broken off at the base. You can see a plant is missing from the nearest cage...




so
Judy
says

"How about fried green tomatoes?


I thought that sounded great!



So later, I find her cooking and she has finally used the Martha Stewart Mandolin which I had bought for $1.25 at a rummage sale (the M.S. Mandolin was highly recommended on the Fatblasters email list).





By Golly it works as advertised. Had been "lost", but thanks to Judy, maybe it will now get some serious use.






So Judy's cookin' up a storm...

Yes folks, it's fried green tomatoes,

just like in the movie, but the meat is tvp (textured vegetable protein).

The Mandolin did a great job . Learn something every day.





Last of the tomatoes from the poor broken plant, cooking ->









and Now we are cooking the last of the TVP (which I buy from http://www.healthy-eating.com, which also happens to be "The Farm", the most successful "hippie commune" there is!).


Eat up, Comrades!

Magic Cat, Healing Cat

In case anyone thinks I am complaining about Ms. Pretty, let me be clear:

She is a Magic Cat.

She can heal us with her presence. It has happened several times. She knows when we are sick or feeling down, and she will come and sit by us or lean against us.

Yes, she has done some awful things in the distant past. She has given herself electro-shock therapy.

She escapes all fans in this manner...

Ms. Pretty's After Breakfast Repose

Ah yes she really knows
how to take it easy.

Ms. Pretty at Breakfast

She's so simple:

> You ate all the muffin, and left me nothin'

[ Yes, I'm channeling Ms. Pretty]

Happenings of the Day: Ms. Pretty, etc.

So now Ms. Pretty owns "the" chair in the living room.

Nowhere for Jeffy. And she shows no signs of stirring. And I am so
happy to do good things for her, I'm just leaving her there.
