00:03Watching the movie and then proceeding to make fried green tomatoes.

00:07Y'all, this might be my favorite time of year when the garden is full of tomatoes.

00:13Everybody fries their green tomatoes and their okra differently with different spices.

00:17I find that green tomatoes don't really need a whole lot of extra frills, just some salt and pepper.

00:23If I'm feeling extra fancy, I will throw in some smoked paprika.

00:27But when it comes to cornmeal, you're going to need to get a specific kind.

00:31Finely ground cornmeal.

00:33Put them in the flour mixture, then into your egg mixture, then your seasoned flour and cornmeal mixture.

00:40Carefully drop the tomatoes in some hot grease.

00:42Fry them until they're nice golden brown and crispy on both sides.

00:46Does it get better than this? I don't think so.

00:48Now while I could just sit here and eat them, I love to whip myself up a little bit of comeback sauce.

00:54You have got to add fried green tomatoes to your summer bucket list.

00:58And you better do it fast too before all the tomatoes start turning red.
