I have had this recipe forever. It is a wonderful family dinner recipe but could also be served for a very special company dinner. It is always a winner. It is written for a pork loin roast but is very complementary to nice little pork tenderloin. Delicious sides are sweet potatoes, and braised red cabbage….

Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
Well it’s the end of April and we got the tomato plants in a couple of weeks early. All this thanks to an abundance of sunshine and warm weather and Jason, the tomato king of Moses Lake. It may be just a little early but it got me thinking about one of Joe’s favorite foods—-…

Well here it is. This recipe has been in the family for at least 40 years. It was first given to me by our dear neighbor when we lived on 33rd Ave. , Dorothy Wurdeman. Potlucks would never be the same. It has been to the Sea Fair races, church socials, baby showers, wedding showers,…
