Earl Eats Fried Green Tomatoes

I had never heard of fried green tomatoes until I was and adult and married. My wife who is affectionately called "Turkey", introduced me to them not long after we were married and I LOVED them!
I understand they are a staple of southern cooking, and I guess she is from the south...southern UTAH! I'm sure that is not the southern cuisine they are from. I have read many recipes for these green gems, but her simple, straight forward instructions make for the best I have ever had, because they are the ONLY ONES I have ever had!

Ingredients

• Fresh, vine UNRIPENED tomatoes from the garden
• Seasoned Flour for dusting (Salt, Pepper)
• Bacon Grease

Instructions

• In a large skillet, heat bacon grease
• Slice tomatoes Pole to Pole in 1/4" slices
• Dust with seasoned flour and gently lay in heated grease, flipping once to gook both side until slightly crisp.
• EAT...but be VERY cautious. The grease heats the water in the tomatoes to LAVA temperature and the grease and hot water will BURN YOUR TASTE BUDS OFF!

We get them this time of year because it has turned cold and the tomatoes that remain on the vine won't ripen. This isn't my recipe and I haven't ever made made it but maybe I will try!
