Mix equal parts of flour and cornmeal. Season liberally with the salt and pepper. Slice tomatoes in about ¼- to ½-inch slices. Dredge in the flour mixture then in the milk then back in the flour mix to coat well until all of the tomato slices are coated. Meanwhile heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in large skillet (cast iron is best). When oil is very hot, toss in tomato slices. Tomatoes will brown quickly then turn to brown other side. Remove and drain on a paper towel and enjoy while hot. Molly probably cooked many things in her years as cook in the Governor’sMansion. One thing you can be sure she cooked was a special Georgia delicacy, Fried Green Tomatoes. Molly probably used regular flour and meal and mixed in baking power but let’s make life easy. Life is short and most ghosts don’t cook in the hereafter. Author’s Bio: My name is Kathleen Walls. I divide my time between a cozy North Georgia mountain cabin and a St. Augustine, Florida home.
