impatient gardener who just
has to pick something.

Here is Grandmas Recipie
Grandma's Fried Green Tomatoes

3 green tomatoes
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cornmeal
Oil

Wash and dry tomatoes. Slice with peels thin but thick enough to hold together. Heat 1-2"oil in a large skillet to sizzling. Season both sides and dredge in meal. Lay in skillet without sides touching-don't crowd them and fry brown, flip them over and cook them brown on the other side. Drain well on a rack over a papered sheet.
**Flour may be used in place if desired**.
