Green Tomatoes

I love Fried Green Tomatoes. Not just the movie, but the food. Living down here, I have gotten pretty good at making them too. On Saturday morning I went to the farmers market and bought some good green tomatoes, and that night we went to a Canada Day / 4th of July party at my friends house. I made a nice little Canada day cake (I'll post the picture later). We had a little BBQ, and then later on came the tomatoes. You cut the tomatoes nice and thin, dip them in egg, then batter them in Jiffy corn muffin mix, you can add some sugar, and if you want salt and pepper. Then fry them in olive oil (as Dana says "ol"). I like to eat them with apple cider vinegar. Some people eat them with ketchup, although other people think that's blasphemous. Jeff and I had them again today too. When we get home we will have to plant some tomatoes in our yard. I don't think the stores in Saskatoon will have a whole display area of green tomatoes in the summers like the stores do here.

Possesion Date

Today is our possesion date. So we now officially own our home. It doesn't really feel that different, mainly because we are not there, but also because I've had a key to the house since I was in Saskatoon a few weeks ago. But it's still a special day. And it's Canada Day!!
