Fried green maters are on the menu for supper tonight

So we had this little storm that was suppose to come through here over the weekend name Beryl. 

She got the forecasters all excited.  There was talk of high winds and massive amounts of rain.. 

So we did what we always do. Picked up things that could blow around and sat on the back porch to wait on the rain ...  We waited... and waited and waited some more... it finally showed up Tuesday morning with lots of beneficial rain and then we got a little more rain last night. Everything has jumped up and is looking so pretty.. Beryl brought no damage other than a few downed limbs or so I thought ... till I found these

My perfect mators had been ripped

 from their cozy little home... 

Now I love fried green tomatoes

 as much as the next southern girl 

I just don't want it to be my tomatoes that are being fried!! 

I want my maters to grow till they are about to burst with juicy goodness. 

I want them to be warm from the sun and I want them between two slices of bread covered with mayo and fresh ground black pepper... 

There is no need for anything else..

Oh well, guess I will have to wait a little longer 

for that mator sandwich but tonight we will be eating our first tomatoes of the season

 and that is always a treat ..

See my pretty new crock

 I picked up a few weeks ago at a yard sale. 

It's stamped on the bottom Marshall Pottery ~ Texas  which I had never heard of before but in reading their web site the pottery has a rich history... 

Which makes me love it even more..

Happy Thursday everyone lets make this an awesome day 

hugs, Cherry
