Fried green tomatoes and randomness


Who, from the south doesn't like fried green tomatoes? I know we do.
For a week, my youngest daughter has been searching for green tomatoes, so her daddy can fry some for her. She works at Bi Lo, they didn't have them, Wal~mart didn't, it seemed that nobody had them.
Then yesterday when we went to Linda's produce in East Ridge, guess what we found? Yep, green tomatoes! Ya.
So Ronnie is cooking for us tonight and along with our steak, potatoes (sweet potatoes for me), we are having fried green tomatoes, yummy.
Along the line of veggies, Brooke, our oldest daughter, said she still hates brussel sprouts. Ha Ha!
And she remembers I use to make all our kids eat brussel sprouts when they were at home. And of course she hated them then. Is it my fault she doesn't like them now?, probably.
 The one thing Ronnie and I disagreed on as far as feeding our kids was, he wanted them to eat everything on their plates. I told them to eat good but they didn't have to clean their plates. How do you know how much food a small child's stomach holds? If it's the size of their fist, not as much as most parents put on the plate for them.
Peas, yum! I think all of my adult life I have loved peas. When I was small I didn't though......yuck!
I would always save my peas for last so that I could stuff them all in my mouth, get out the back door fast and , yes, spit them out.
I believe that was the only vegetable I didn't like, peas
