Fried Tomatoes
Drippings from breakfast bacon
3 half ripe tomatoes
Mix Together: 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup meal
Slice tomatoes about 3/8 inch thick and roll in flour mixture. Drop into hot bacon drippings and brown on one side, turn and brown on other side. Place on hot platter and serve while hot.
While the ingredients listed in the recipes are pretty accurate, the quantities would certainly vary depending on how many people are being served.
My mother and Aunt Mary never bothered to measure ingredients for anything, they just put in a pinch of this or a shake of that until it tasted right to them and the finished product was always good.
