I just don’t get people who don’t eat breakfast.  Breakfast is my favsies.

These days, however, breakfast has a lot of competition.  It’s not just Breakfast v. Lunch v. Dinner.

These days, we have First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Early Lunch, Lunch, Late Lunch, Dinner, Supper, and Bedtime Snack.  And by “we” I mean Me.  And Biggest Loser contestants, pre-biggest loser.

I say this because (shockers of all schockers), I’m about to share a meal that might give Jillian Michaels a heart attack.  Frying Shit.  YUUUM. Grease.  But, lately, I can take in some grease and keep on ticking.  Should I be relying on healthier forms of calorie hard hitters?  Sure.  Is it ok to stray a bit to enjoy the purely joyful ability to eat almost anything that Ironman training affords? Heck to the yes.  (Although, tomorrow I will be discussing how gross I feel because I’m eating like shit to compensate for IM training…)

Until that post tomorrow, I went all southern on my frying pan.

Fried Green Tomato Salad.

Starting with LOCAL Cornmeal (and peeps, I had to scour places in Augusta looking for local GA grains.  It was NOT an easy search.)

Cornmeal + flour + a little bit of sugar and salt in one bowl; eggs and milk in another bowl.

Oil in the pan to get cracklin’ warm.  Also, serves as a beautiful mirror.

Slice your self up some beautiful green heirloom toms.

Coat the tomato slices with the eggs mixture.

And then coat the tom with the cornmeal mixture.

And then toss in the frying pan.

And let sizzle.

Place on a bed of sliced heirloom tomatoes, with a balsamic-basil vinaigrette.  Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.

And EAT! :)

Is it time for ice cream now?

Anyone else love fried green tomatoes?
