Fried Green Tomato, Bacon and Pimento Sandwich

Fried Green Tomato, Bacon and Pimento Sandwich, homemade pimento cheese, crispy bacon, glorious fried green tomatoes sandwiched between two slices of golden toasted bread.  The ultimate summertime sandwich that sings the taste of the South. What do you do when you have leftover fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon, and pimento cheese?  You guessed it, make Fried Green Tomato, Bacon, and Pimento Sandwiches.   I like to fry a lot of green tomatoes for a meal.  We love leftovers.  You may ask if they are still crispy leftovers.   My recipe for green fried tomatoes lends the best texture for leftovers.   I always cook twice the amount of bacon for breakfast, too, for leftovers or to sprinkle on vegetables we have for supper.   The pimento cheese is made ahead for a quick sandwich for lunch on most days.  Pimento Cheese will keep in the fridge for weeks.  An excellent snack to have with crackers watching tv.

Epic Fried Green Tomato BLT Club Sandwich

Fried Green Tomato BLT Club Sandwich, three slices of sandwich white bread toasted and layered in between with perfectly fried green tomatoes with crispy bacon for the first layer and a  perfectly ripe beefsteak tomato with crispy bacon for the second layer.  Two classic sandwiches gloriously combined into one Epic sandwich cut into quarters and held together with toothpicks!    As the summer comes to an end, I am getting in as many fried green tomatoes as I can.  One of my favorite ways to eat them is in a sandwich.  There is just something about all that mayonnaise, a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper sandwiched between to pieces of bread, even toasted.  So good! My favorite sandwich is a BLT.  And my personal favorite way to eat a BLT is in the style of a club sandwich, epic!   When I was a little girl, we lived in Columbia, South America.  My Dad worked for Shell Oil Company, and we were part of 100 Americans who worked and lived in a little town in Columbia.  

Southern Fresh Cherry Cake

Southern Fresh Cherry Cake, quick and easy deliciously moist cake, made with self rising flour a touch of cornmeal, buttermilk, eggs, and butter.  Serve it plain with a dollop of whip cream or as we did with a dusting of powdered sugar.   The cherries are so plentiful in the grocery stores right now and what better way to showcase them than to make a Southern Fresh Cherry Cake.   I actually had to buy a couple of bags of the cherries to have enough to make the cake.  My grandsons are huge fans of these little jewels.   Like most fruits, fresh cherries have the pros and cons.  Fresh Cherries do not have a lot of nutritional value, but they are high in water content and are super beneficial to eat in the summer to hydrate.
