How do you do your tomatoes, Matt? The only time I've had them is making it myself, and they were tasty-- but gooey.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I slice them very thin, dip them in milk and then seasoned yellow cornmeal (it can be as simple as salt and pepper, or you can mix in brown sugar, chili powder, and/or any spice you like), and then fry them over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes per side until they're dark brown and very crispy. I dry them out on a paper towel so the excess oil doesn't get absorbed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My grandmother used to fry everything in lard. Or bacon grease she collected from frying bacon and kept in a highly unsanitary crock jar on the stove. Fry it! Fry it in lard!

I have chicken fat in the fridge. Maybe I use that.

Can you wear red without washing out? if not, then no. That's my winter test. My fall test is the ability to wear orange without looking outrageous. I have no test for spring or summers.
My mother used to do color testing. Little gatherings. Tupperware parties for the '80s, I guess. Anyway, the first test was warm/cool (which looks better, gold or silver?). Warm = autumn or spring. Cool = winter or summer. Deep jewel tones like a rich red, deep blue, dark green, etc. = winter. Deep fall tones like oranges, bright yellows, dark lime green, etc. = autumn. Pastel or pale (but blue-toned) colors like light pinks, light blues, mint greens, violets, etc. = summer. Pale autumn colors like peaches, lime greens, light orangey yellows, etc. = spring.
This is the useless knowledge my mother's brief foray into makeovers has left me with.

I always mix animal fats (schmaltz, bacon fat), with other fats like canola or peanut oil. Lets you fry at a highter temp, but still adds flavor.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Did you know that underneath their clothing the entire population of the world is walking around completely naked?
Kristin, I would just like to assure you that under my clothing I do not have the entire population of the world walking around completely naked.
