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!
