Here is a recipe for fried green tomatoes stuffed with cream cheese. I made this a long time ago and just saw it in my recipe book. They were really good and with all the tomatoes every one has now thought you might like it. You can eat them alone or with the lemon cayanne mayonaise on the side.
3 each Green Tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
8 ounces Cream Cheese
1 tsp. Dry Basil
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
1 C Flour
4 each Eggs, beaten
3 C Japanese bread crumbs (Panko) or seasoned itialian bread crumbs.1 tbsp. Parsley, mincedTo Prepare Green Tomatoes...
Mix cream cheese with basil and half of the salt & pepper. Place 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on one slice of tomato. Press another tomato slice on top of cream cheese to make a sandwich. Mix parsley into bread crumbs. Mix remaining salt & pepper into flour. Dredge tomato sandwich into seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour. Dip in eggs. Shake off excess egg. Roll in bread crumb mixture to coat. fry in some peanut oil or veg oil until golden brown. ( I wouldn't use evoo as you need the oil really hot to fry in) about 350% drizzle with the lemon cayenne mayonise if desired.
Whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon paprika. Refrigerate until ready to use.0 -
(((Debbie))) - you, Chuck and your dad are in my thoughts. It sounds like a very, very difficult situation for your dad. I hope Chuck's heart checks out OK.
DH is making bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning...yeah!!!
Deb - nothing like an unpleasant surprise when you bite into something...yikes!
Still no final report on my scans. I may have to make a trip to the hospital and request a hard copy.

Debbie Prayers to all of you. I think it is good that they see what is going on with your DH so there are no "surprises" what ever happened with the job change and possible move for you guys?
Laurie that garden is impressive. I still do not see the white eggplant around here, though I did see some striped ones. My eggplants are just starting to get big, a couple more weeks. My tomatos are just starting to come on....feeling like some homemade sauce.
Michelle So frustrating on the wait for the scans
Tazzy I know how hard it is to relax and let others take over, but you need to rest and let your body heal...it is definitely a traumatic surgery for the body. My drains were up and down in volume, no rhyme or reason. Got 2 drains out at one visit then the last two at next visit, seemed like forever.
Today I see my onc for my 3 mo. follow-up. Need to address this rash I have on my cheeks. May be roseacea, but since I never had that before, need to find out hwere it is coming from.
OH almost forgot...funny story...my girlfriend planted what she thought were cucumbers and they came up as cantalopes, but she says when she cuts into them they smell like cucumbers..hmmmm

HA, looks like I was having problems too. It kept giving me an error report.

Debbie... thoughts with you, DH and your Dad.
Women... we find it so hard to let others take over eh? Today I am resting.
Hope you are all managing to have wonderful days filled with laughter and love.

Debbie- My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope Chucks test turn out well and that your father will be ok. Such a tough thing to go through.
Michelle- I love your spunk!
Carrie-Good luck with your appointment today. I hope she has an easy answer for you to solve the rash problem. I googled your friends cucumber plant but didn't see an answer?
We went grocery shopping this morning. Last week DH had come with us and we spent twice as much as we usually do. So I tried really hard to keep costs back this week to even out my budget. I spent half of what I normally do!! I was very pleased with myself! Of course not having to buy much for fresh veggies was a big help. Tonight I think I am doing haddock for dinner.

Michelle- All this bacon talk is making me wish I had some. Todays breakfast was pancakes that I mixed oatmeal (I know you don't care for oatmeal) hehe! raspberries and put almond butter on them, they were pretty darn good.
Carrie- DH decided that until his health gets better he shouldn't pursue another job, I agree! No one wants to hire anyone with health issues so until we know whats going on with him its kind of on the back burner. Also want to stay as close to my dad as possible (about 4 1/2 hrs away) What a funny story on the cucumber maybe they mated and came out with that lol!
Laurie-I am not the coupon type of person but I have seen where women spend hundreds of dollars in the store and with coupons pay like only 3o bucks or so. Might be worth checking into. We go shopping every week and always spend a couple hundred dollars and come home with almost nothing. it is so ridiculous what the prices are these days!

Debbie- I have tried to do coupons and have never found success. I don't buy anything they make a coupon for? Fruits, veggies, meats. I can never find any for milk, juice etc. This week I just made a real effort to plan my meals and use what we have in the freezer with the exception of the seafood I bought. I have a neighbor who has a coupon binder and actually brings the whole ting with her everywhere she goes and shops everywhere from the dollar store for dish soap and CVS for diapers on sale. She saves a ton of money. I just can't see spending the time hauling the kids all over town to 8 different stores to save 20 dollars. Not to mention the time it takes to go through the weekly ads etc. I do try to go to Walmart to buy my crackers/canned stuff etc and I go to a discount bread store for my breads. The cost of bread is just insane. In the grocery store they want 3 bucks for a loaf. I went to the bread store today and bought 2 loaves of whole wheat bread, a loaf of pumpernickle, 2 packs of english muffins, 2 things of bagels and a package of cookies for the boys- oh and some lemonade! I spent 12 dollars
Plus they have a stamp card and once you spend 50 dollars there you 10 dollars free!0 -
Your dad's garden is beautiful, Laurie. I'll bet he loves supplying you with wonderful veggies. I know my dad took pleasure in supplying his kids and his neighbors. He was a great gardener, too.
Today feels like fall in Louisiana. When we got back from playing golf about 1 pm, the temperature was still in the 60's.
Michelle, I'm still hoping for some positive feedback from the scan.
Tazzy, I did whatever I felt like doing when I was recuperating from my bmx. Nobody mentioned that activity might cause drainage. After about a week, I began to walk out on the street. At first only a block. I had one drain on either side and I think they were removed after 9 or 10 days. The removal didn't hurt.
Dinner tonight will be barbecued pork sandwiches and slaw with cabbage and colored bell pepper strips. I left a pork roast cooking in the slow cooker this morning when we left to go to the golf course. The camper had the wonderful aroma of cooking pork when we returned.

I am chuckling at your posts and how expensive you say your food is there... come shopping in Canada
Carole, my Nurse navigator just called and gave the same advice as you mentioned in your post. Do what you feel you can, use your common sense and listen to you body. If you overdo it your body will tell you - it will hurt as its pissed at you. And you know I think that is the best advice for me... use my common sense.
I have just made that quinoa fruit salad I shared with you yesterday and I can say it was delicious, well worth it. I think I may put more mint in next time.

Well, I got the results of the scan and it's not pretty, or it's pretty shi$$y, depending on how you look at it. Lots of progression, especially with nodes on my left (BC) side and my left lung. It looks like a clinical trial is the best option at the moment. And that makes sense because there are often limitations on how many chemos you can have previously done to be considered for a trial. I'll see her on Wednesday and she should have a plan by then.

Geez, I am sorry Michelle. Just not fair. Crap is a good word for it. I am thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
Deb, I am thinking of you, your DH and dad too.
Tazzy, I didn't realize you just had a BMX. It sounds like you are getting good advice and doing well. Hope you get the drains out soon. Be good to yourself.0 -
Michelle: So very sorry to hear about your progression. You say you are still feeling fine..I would hold on to that as miracles can happen. Sending you prayers!
Laurie: What a harvest! The veggies look yummy
Debbie: Sorry you dad is having to go through that. Prayers for your family..hope your DH is ok.
Tazzy: Sounds like you're healing is coming along.

Tazzy....good to hear that you are taking good care of yourself, so you can get those drains out asap. I have to go back and check the quinoa recipe....sounds good.
Michelle.....I guess crap is about as clean as I can come about that stinkin news.
(((((HUGS)))))!!!
Debbie, glad your DH is getting totally checked out, and ((((HUGS)))) as you cope with your Dad's condition.
Laurie, love your garden/crop photos. Yes food is ridiculous these days. I can't imagine feeding a young family. When our boys were young I used to coupon a lot.....but yes it took time and discipline not to buy things you had. great coupon for but didn't need!
I had a long meeting today with one of my teacher colleagues to help her understand the needs of the kids entering her class ( since most of them were my little clients:), ......then got physical (and very dirty) weeding a very overgrown bed in the mud afternoon heat. Must have burned a few calories. Was thinking it would rain tomorrow and I'd miss the chance to get it done....and a section of the weeds were making their way to my next door neighbors yard. Yikes! After four hours, it was still not finished, but DH promised to finish it tomorrow. I'll let him. I made myself a healthy smoothie for dinner since I was hardly hungry.....needed a long shower more than dinner.0
