home-made and hand-made

emma received these cute, little, black bloomers from her aunt corrie. it has an elastic waist and a black ribbon that ties in the front. so chic! thanks aunt corrie!


i also figured out how i was going to cook the green tomatoes i got last week. since i only had one tomato, i decided to go with the recipe (see the comments section below this post) suggested by angela from sunflower hill: fried green tomatoes!

i placed the sliced tomatoes a plate of flour (no photo) to let it dry out a bit. then i removed the floured tomatoes and put them in an egg/milk mixture (i used regular milk instead of buttermilk since that's what i had around).













then i placed those tomatoes into the flour/breadcrumb/salt mixture.













once the tomatoes were coated, i placed them in a hot skillet and fried it until brown on both sides. since i had an abnormal abundance of bread crumbs around, i decided to use that instead of the cornmeal which worked just as well.













the end result tasted fantastic! even tyler liked it, and it was a delicious lunch time snack.
