Fried Green Tomatos

The first time I made this classic treat was the summer I visited K in California. We had such a great time exploring the state! Visiting "you pick" farms was one of our favorite things, and on one trip we ended up with buckets of heirloom tomatoes - our zeal in the fields couldn't be repressed! As a result of our over-abundance if produce, we made fried green tomatoes with a simple corn meal crust for anyone and everyone we knew out there.

This weekend some good friends here in Atlanta shared their green heirloom harvest with us, and in their honor I spiced things up by using their recipe.
