So this amazing thing happened on Sunday night: Morgan and Tyler, two of the people we love most in the world, got engaged! Well, it actually happened Sunday morning, but Tyler planned a surprise engagement dinner for all of Morgan’s best friends in advance, so that we could properly fete the beautiful couple. Not that any of us were actually surprised…these two are perfectly suited for one another, and it was obvious from Day One that they would make it permanent.

Fried Green Tomatoes

At the Cherry Lane Farm stand, I found some unbelievable green tomatoes, and since the day quickly turned rainy and miserable I figured it was a perfect opportunity to try my hand at making fried green tomatoes for the very first time.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Thickly slice green tomatoes and season with salt; let sit about 10 minutes. Dredge slices first in buttermilk, and then in cornmeal. Heat approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan (make sure the oil is quite hot) and fry for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until browned. If the pan gets dry, just add more olive oil.

I would like to take a moment here to comment on the unbelievable transition that my hair has undergone since I was fortunate enough to sample Doug Macintosh’s Keratin Treatment at the John Sahag Workshop. Seriously, I have never in my life had hair like this. I have crappy hair: it breaks, it frizzes…it does everything that I don’t want it to do. But in the week or so since I had the treatment, my hair is perfection. Here’s how it behaves:

Air-drying: I used to have a bit of a lioness poof whenever I air-dried my hair. My mom loved it; no one else did. Now, if I let my hair air dry, it forms into perfect, smooth waves with textured ends that falsely speak of generous product application.

Blow-drying: It takes about half the time now, and instead of ending up with poofy, frizzed-out hair that requires a go-over with the flat iron, I have smooth, healthy-looking tresses that not only don’t require an iron…but require nothing at all. My Frizz-Ease has gone on hiatus.
