well okay well um anyway um i'm with a a choir and and we've been doing this as a fund raiser i wasn't sure if they were still doing it or not but i know that's not what we're supposed to talk about
uh-huh
okay i'm having dinner right now and and on the subject of food so just continue and you tell me something you'd like to tell me about food
well are you are you having a Super Bowl party
uh no i'm not actually i wish i were
well i was thinking now that would be a good place to exchange a recipe maybe um
uh-huh
we're not having one this year either but um i'm going to one and this year it's pretty simple all i have to take is cheese so i know i don't even have to make anything but
oh that's going to be easy
oh well i guess my my favorite recipe that i've seen this week was fried green tomatoes did you see that in the paper
no i didn't uh uh it's probably in reference to the movie i'm sure
right right
um i know my husband has heard about that and thought that that sounded really good are they i don't even i've never had fried tomatoes
well you know i don't guess i have i mean i'm from Mississippi originally and surely you know i don't even know that i've ever seen it offered to tell you the truth and but this this evidently is a Southern delicacy that i didn't know about
huh
i didn't know about it either now we i have had um marinated green tomatoes you know where you marinate them with onions and cucumbers but i don't i've never had fried
uh-huh uh-huh
right
well i tell you if you see that movie it'll make you want them
fried green ones
oh really
oh yeah it just they just really make it look good now i love things like fried okra
uh-huh
and i try not to ever have fried things but still you know if i i think uh that the fried green tomatoes would be something like that
are they pretty does it look like it's a pretty easy thing to make
probably you probably bread them and and uh you know like with corn meal and that kind of thing and then
uh-huh
now i did i did go to a dinner this past weekend that was um
fry them in grease
at our church we had a church auction last fall and a lot of the things that were auctioned off were um services like a dinner for eight and then if you bought if you bought it
uh-huh
there were two couples that two or three couples that might cater the dinner
uh-huh
and one couple in our church had lived in the Philippines um years oh eight years ago and so they um auctioned off a Filipino dinner
ooh nice
and um so it was really fun one of the things that we had were was fried um bananas but but not fried bananas i don't know what they're called but it's a it's kind of looks like
the dough that they use for egg rolls
uh-huh
i don't know what it's called but
they put bananas in there and with cinnamon and i don't know what else and sugar and stuff and then they deep fry it
and they use green bananas you know so that the bananas kind of stay together and i have fixed fried bananas before
oh
as a um Cuban or Spanish dish
uh-huh
you know and they're really really good
but um when you were talking about fried tomatoes it reminded me of this the fried bananas that
oh i bet that was good i know i would like that
you know
yeah it was really a fun a fun thing to do a fun way to raise money

uh-huh uh-huh
uh-huh
well um now back to Fried Green Tomatoes you be sure and see that movie
we saw it last Saturday and it was wonderful
okay
was it
oh it really was
is it a girl movie i mean is it is it something my husband would enjoy
uh-huh well it's either one
yeah uh-huh it it has it's a story that would appeal to both men and women uh Dave liked it a lot huh
because he doesn't like going to see girly movies like like um Steel Magnolias he didn't want you know
oh no now but my husband liked Steel Magnolias but it was more like this is more like Driving Miss Daisy did you see that and um and this probably is even a little more
yeah yeah yeah
masculine than than Driving Miss Daisy even but it's that kind of movie that has just a universal appeal
okay
