Yes please.

(the thread title is a question right? :biggrin-new:)

I have yet to try Fried Green Tomatoes but would love too! Aren't many places in the great white north that whip up these kinds of things. I want to go back down South and get some true soul food. :drool:
Well you can make your own IF you can find the green tomatoes. Not sure how well they can grow up there during the summer months.

Tonight I made salmon burgers. I cheated. The patties were already made, and I thawed them. But wait, there's more.

I threw them in a skillet and seasoned each side before turning... BUT, before I did that, I put them on a big tortilla-style wrap and cut out circles that were about the diameters of the patties. You must remember this detail.

Okay, so they're cooking up, seasoned with garlic and cumin and blackening seasoning and pepper and Latin spices. In the meantime, I had started up sauteeing onion slices to put on the patties. After a while and the onions were browned, I threw in mushroom slices. See, the idea was to heap the sauteed veggies on the patties.

Back to the patties. They were getting pretty done, so I put cheddar slices on top, then one of the cut-out wrap circles, turned it over, and stuck the other wrap circles on the top sides. Which made me realize, oh, now I can't use the sauteed onion and mushrooms.

The cheese was starting to melt purty good on the bottom, so I turned them back over to toast the other wrap circle. Then I put together some fresh greens, with some fresh yellow bell pepper slices.

The patties were ready, and I took them out and put them on the plate with the salad. We had ready-made toasted salmon-and-cheese burgers with low-carb "bread." I took the sauteed onions and mushrooms off the stove and put them into the fresh greens and bell peppers. They spread out and were tasty/saucy enough that the salad didn't need dressing.

Added a nice chardonnay, and Grandma was reallllly impressed.

I'd be killed. I'm a pretty decent garage wrencher when it comes to cooking, but you don't want to see me in competition with master mechanics. It would be laughable.

I didn't mention the other salmon last night, but it was stellar. Just the fact that Grandma is willing to eat salmon two nights in a row is a Pretty Big Thing for me.

Of course! I like my ahi (and salmon, for that matter) rare, which kind of squicks Grandma out. She's not a raw fish fan, not even a little. Me, if you buried me in a mountain of sushi, I'd eat my way out.

My hubby is the same way. I love me some ahi, toro, tako, edo, ono... apparently fish/seafood ending in a vowel ;-D I used to be like Grandma until I tasted FRESH fish. Totally different ballgame.

Have you ever heard of using it as a treatment for hair? - it melts at body temperature (just like butter) - you just have to make sure you shampoo it out quite thoroughly.
I use it to remove make up, but I don't usually recommend it for hair. Like most other oils, it basically just coats the hair and doesn't really provide any real benefit.
