    Fried green tomatoes with blue cheese dill dipping sauceIt seems inevitable.   I carefully select my seeds for my tomato plants each year and spend weeks nurturing the seedlings into healthy, viable plants, only to plant them in the garden and come to find I mixed up one of the varieties in the seed tray and planted extra of a variety I didn't need, and failed to plant another variety I wanted. Sure enough, it happened again.  It doesn't look like any of my yellow tomato seedlings made it to the garden and instead I accidentally planted extra cherry tomato plants.

    I am reasonably certain somehow this is not my fault. Just like the year I planted a watermelon and got a cantaloupe vine. I suspect I'm being haunted by mischievous garden gnomes. Yes, I'm the victim here.

    Luckily I have just enough large green tomatoes to satisfying my craving for fried green tomatoes.  I also figured a blue cheese dill sauce would be perfect for dipping since I have more dill than I know what to do with.  Even if the meal is deep fried, there are few things that make me feel better than when my backyard is the only grocery store I need for a meal.

    If I said it once, I've said it a thousand times.  If you are deep frying you need a good thermometer to check the oil temperature.  The proper oil temperature is the difference between a perfectly crisp fried green tomato and a slick and soggy green hockey puck. Do yourself a favor and purchase a Lavatools instant read thermometer. It is quick, accurate, and has a lifetime warranty. I love mine.
