“The girls” and I embarked upon dinner and a movie in this past Friday. Our intention was to make VeganYumYum’s fried green tomatoes and watch the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. But a long agenda of topics to be addressed on top of multiple bottles of carefully selected wine, and you got the hotbed of monkey-wrench development. Dinner in soon became a lot of drinks in (and eventually out) and there Fried Green Tomatoes stayed, obedient in its Netflix sleeve. But eat we did. As host, I laid out a spread of spinach and artichoke dip, horseradish and dill dip leftover from my autumn latkes and some onion and garlic infused olive oil for a fresh whole wheat baguette. Nibbling on the spread we managed to eventually pull together the recipe for fried green tomatoes, which were succulent and satisfying. Dessert was three amazing toll house cookies from Lifethyme. So we never did get to the movie. But the spirit of “Idgie” (Okay, I watched it the day after.) permeated our our greasy fried green tomatoes. Towanda!
