Does anybody else eat fried green tomatoes beside myself? We live real close to where the movie was shot.("Fried Green Tomatoes").They still have the Whistle Stop Café there. Don't waste the green ones Dahl. Let me know, I'll give you the recipe. One year I fried half of what we grew. They're great!
I would LOVE the recipe:D
I don't think I've ever eaten 'Fried Green Tomatoes' but I am willing to try.
Thank you
JD I hope you don't have to toss your plants that would be sad *cries* poor plants. Lets cross our fingers and hope :D
JD,
In the pix you posted this morning... were those ACTUAL sample cuttings from your plants? :confused:
You've got my vote... :)... and zucchini, and squash, and eggplant, and turnips, and well, you get the idea... KQuote:

I tried to take the last 2 pics off since they were blurry, but couldn't figure it out
Mine don't have the yelowing spots on them.
What do you guys think?
Here you go:
Fried green tomatoes
3/4 cup cooking oil 1 cup milk
3 to 4 med. Sized green, firm tomatoes 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs salt,pepper, and garlic powder
To taste.
Place cooking oil in a 10 " skillet. Mix eggs with milk and blend well. Slice tomatoes in 1/4" slices. Dip each slice in the milk and egg mixture and then dip them in the flour and place slices in the skillet over very low heat. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to each tomato slice. Brown each side slightly to a golden brown. The tomatoes will be soft, and should be served hot.
These are just as good, and sometimes more popular, if you use self rising cornmeal.
Ms. Just Dahlia.
After reviewing your recent pictures, I regret to inform you, that I believe they are in early development of the tomato mosaic virus.
I resubmit one photograph with areas circled, that I compared with known virus specimens.
The one area especially at lower right in the shade has the characteristic leaf deformity.
Are you able to open any of the fruit for inspection?
Does any of the fruit show any signs of discoloration? (brownish spots)
I encourage you to show these pictures to a local expert for confirmation.
With out knowing your location in Northern California, I offer a link of County Contacts, that you may send an attachment of picture for further review:
UC Cooperative Extension County Contacts/Farm Advisors
My Kindest Regards.
KUXJ
Thank you!
I emailed pics for Sacramento County. Hopefully they aren't too busy with crops and get back to me.:)
Ohh no.. That doesn't sound good... does the mosaic virus completely destroy your plant? What are the late symptoms of it if the possibility of her plants having them are showing the beginning of the symptoms?
I know. I just feel sick about it.Quote:

Wow... those poor plants :( I feel for them... so it ruins everything I see.. that's no good at all. Lets hope early action can help then because it would be horrible for her to loose her plants... how's it going on your end KU?
Thanks for the info on trying to save them. I have to read more later, because I am at work.
No official confirmation yet, but last evening I got disgusted and cut off all the bad leaves and today I am going to move the sad plants as far away from my other plants as possible.:(
Some are actually touching the good plants.:eek:
I will also follow the rules for trying to save them.
I did cut one tomato that was a little deformed (could be due to a growth spurt) and it was all green inside. :) The others look OK.
I still have 6 plants unaffected or undetected, so I still have hope.:)
If they all get infected, I can always start over or buy from the market.:D
You say tomatoes, I say taumautoes... and a taumauto by any other name would still be a tomatoe. I will never ever tell, you will have to torture me with hanging tomatoes before I will tell
The tick is back:eek:
Tell :d tell :d tell :d
I'm guessing lol that by looking at posts that maybe the american and canadian version of the spelling of that word may be different. Am I correct?
To*ma*to pl. toes
According to my Websters II Pocket Dictionary.:)
My smily faces from above changed!
Lol JD its because the d's were lowercase not in caps... well that's good to know :D I've heard of people spelling it tomato and tomatoe but if it was pluralized wouldn't it need an s on the end.. so it would be tomato, tomatoes
Ok, I'm home and I managed to move one about 4 feet to an old tree stump behind the pool. Still have to lengthen the drip to it, but it's almost 100 degrees again:eek: so I needed to get out of the sun.
The other 3 are in the ground, with one all alone about 8 feet away. I'm taking my chances:rolleyes:
I tied up everybody, so no one is touching any one else, just like kids in the back seat of a car, it won't be allowed.:D
I'm pretty sure I have at least 3 that I never touched as they are behind some flowers and in front of a Yucca, so I might not have contaminated them.
The 3 that are in the ground, I'll watch and stop bringing out the Hooka to share tobacco smoke and swap stories.:cool:
!!!!CONTEST!!!!
My second (JD gets the first) "Red Ripe One", to whoever successfully translates this saying:
Jūs kalbate, pomidorų , powiadam pomidorai
As usual, the answer (verified by my neighbor) is being kept in a mayonnaise jar, in my milk box, out by the trash cans.
small hint, i'm lithuanian
I'm not sure 'bout "other" smokes, BUT regular tobacco, and its residue is deadly to Solanum lycopersicumQuote:

I'm thinking the last 3 words are a derivative of tomato unless I have it wrong and it's Russian.:eek:
I know not enough polish to make it by in a polish town but if I remember the polish english dictionary I've got some where in my book shelf.. *runs off* it says something about tomato & I say pomidorai So maybe it is you say tomato and I say hmmm.. tomatoe?
A I don't know at first I thought maybe greek but then I realized greek doesn't look like that mind you I've never seen greek written in english if its even possible lol
Now that I think about it the last word may be pomidorai its self therefore it would be you say tomato and I say pomidorai
How about translating just one word...
I've got so much help from KUXJ, he is such a 'mensch'
Oh! I forgot to offer a prize! I have nothing, sorry!
No... it is from an old song which probably KUJX would recognize (I really have a problem with you moniker KUJX, is there a derivative of that we can use that rolls of the tongue a lot better?). The song goes 'you say tomatoe, I say taumauto, oh lets call the whole thing off', the old movie it was from was about a man and a woman, woman from England where they drew out their vowels, as in tauuuuumatooo.Quote:

Now it was hard to find my keyboard option for that but that is "you say tomato, i say tomato" in Persian. I'll never get the hang of backwards writing so I hope I got it right
I say potato, you say potato. What a wonderful way to wake up my brain this morning.Quote:

You were actually completely exact on that one k :D yea persian I find takes me forever to translate :D. Glad its going good on your end... What went wrong with your glass block window installation? Ohh no. the bucket is deforming.. that might not be good. Lets hope all you need is just extra support handles:D
Best of luck

See pix, don't know what happened to the "after" one. UV, I guess? Liked it, kept it.
All done!. Sky is brilliant today! 30°, now ~ forecast same tomorrow 32°

Wow.. usually cinder block that old crumbles more then what happened to you. Your lucky there. We had some we completely removed from the house and re did it in concrete block... we tapped one of the old cinderblocks and the two blocks crumbled to dust.
Hehe isn't that usually the way, the man wants something, the woman of the house says no, the man sadly nods and goes off to do his own thing *LMAO* (j/k)
I do think it might have been the UV. We have some hand made bird feeders made of plastic buckets and they warped but made a neat shape so we kept them up. WOW your lucky , the suns shining on your end and its nice and warm, its Cloudy as all get out here and the temp as reached 32-34 with the humidex and its supposed to humid tomorrow too.. :o Ohh the poor poor pup I have... he sure hates the humidity (well I guess he's not a pup he's 7 but he still looks like a puppy and acts like one)
K. I hope the new improved handle on the bucket holds up.:)
I hope mine doesn't pull the fence down!:eek:
When you said it was beautiful and in the 30's I was confused, but then realized you were talking to B44 in C.
I liked the pink:D
B44 Your computer problem your having on the other post, could it have something to do with you changing the language to Persian the other day? Or have been having it a while.
b44
That's what I thought 'bout the old block too, but surprisingly its in pretty good shape!
Well, I do enjoy sleeping in our bed... ;)
Strange... When I took it, the cam acted like nothing happened, so I took it again, you see the result. The cypress in the background and the lattice look kind of normal.
That low pressure system is have'n a ens... :eek:WELL! How 'bout that, I wanted to say d...ens, as in Charles, but the server C*****ed it out!:eek:
Of a time "movin out".
Are you near the "Bay of Fundy"?
He's sure getting up there. Is he the "binxster"?

Thanks JD, I sure we'll be okay now.
Me too!
My apologies, Just trying to keep up International relations :rolleyes:
If you want to talk 'bout PC problems here, It has to involve tomahtoes... :rolleyes:
Did I ever tell you 'bout the time I used an 'ol ATX box for a tomahtoe planter? ;)
K
JD.. no its had been happening before I did that... weeks before.. I just thought I'd post about it now.. me being a little slow sometimes LMAO and I like tomahtoe
KU.. Well you just gone done confused me.. beds? Huh? I like beds...
Your right. The weather just isn't being very nice.. I know I've tried to type things like that before but its done it to my words too. :(
Technically if you go by the breed description he's lived about half his life.. He is the one in my picture.. And his name is Rebel :D
Am I near the "Bay of Fundy" well if I walk straight up the road for about 20 minutes, I'd get into town, go through town and be staring at the old docks we have, the docks being attached to water and that water is from THE BAY OF FUNDY.. hehehe so yes I do live near the bay. LOL.. so computer talk needs to have tomahtoe in it. Hmm *goes up and adds something* :D
I have such a positive attitude, NOTHING is wrong with my toms.:D
I fixed my drip today, again 102 degrees.
Tomorrow I will MG everybody in the evening after sun has set:)

And I said:

Meaning... If I didn't, "sadly nod and go off to do my own thing"... and instead started an argument, then I wouldn't be sleeping with my tomahto (DW) in our own bed.
Make sense now?
K
Hehehe yes.. must have been one of them moments where my brain decided to stop working
I was wondering... Since our climate can fluxuate during the summer usually mid teens to mid to high twenties... up to low thirtys with the humidex. Is there a specific strain of tomato that would grow better then others. And when ripe what are the tomatoes like? *some taste different, sweeter, you get what I mean I hope lol* and how big are they? I have a farm supply/animal feed/pet product store here that I think I might be able to find a few different kinds at
Hi! Everyone :)
News from the Bucket, June 26th, 2009 ~ Vol. I ~ Ed. IX:
Weather sure been different this week. Started a little below seasonal Temps (avg. -4 departure) with a storm passing though Saturday morning (20th) early, to temps 3° above.
The Cooling Degree Days are finally starting to forge ahead of the Heating Degree Days. BBX received 0.92” ~ KCXY 1.42
An over-nite line of storms died out just on our doorstep this morning, but the NWS is forecasting a re-generation with the frontal passage 'bout 19:00 UTC.
In the “Kant fool Mother Nature” Department:
With the increase in daily temps, and a generous supply of UVA and B, BB's Bucket started to deform. There is a UVC but the EPA tells me that UVC can't pass through our atmosphere.
That Newton guy 'mite have something to do with it too. Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica - Wikipedia
Well, in any event I rigged an extra set of suspenders (see pinkish pix in previous post) and I'm able to sleep better at night. I wonder if BB does?. I'll have to look that up... Do Plants Sleep? To the best of my knowledge they slow down when the Sun goes down, but don't actually suspend their animation like Humans do. You can form your own opinion from here: Do Plants Sleep? - Google Search
Speaking of Boy Wonders I started pruning him back, nothing serious, just making sure the suckers are out'a the “crack in the crotch”.
I've read, one can trim everything back, except the last 3 to 4 branches on a stem, but that seems a little drastic. Then there's “Missouri” pruning where you just pinch off the tips of the branch... I've tried to reach a happy medium that suits me.
For more info: pruning tomatoes - Google Search
BB is 48” vertical, and 32” in breadth ('cuz of pruning) with a total of 8 fruits, the largest approaching billiard ball size.

As a re-affirmation for me, in the “things happen in three's Department” I'd like to offer a moment of silence for Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.
