This weekend is going to be one culinary creation after another as I attempt to get rid of some tomatoes. I spent some time sifting through my cookbooks and came up with some that look pretty good. Tonight was a double whammy--stuffed bell peppers (which enabled me to finish off my peppers), and fried green tomatoes. (The other food item on the plate is creamed corn--frozen, I must confess.) The bell pepper recipe was one of Emeril's; the only change I made was I used all beef instead of a mixture of beef and pork. I thought the peppers were really good, and Darryl and I both agree that we liked them even better than the chicken and corn peppers I made the other night. The fried green tomato recipe came from the Blue Willow Inn Cookbook that I had, and the tomatoes were delicious. I had eaten fried green tomatoes before, but I had never made them. I'm not too sure that I'm going to lose 12 pounds this summer. I really, really like to cook, so that is hurting the dieting effort somewhat. I am exercising a good bit, though, and I'm drinking lots of water and eating "light" through the day, so maybe it will all balance out somehow (wishful thinking, I'm sure).

That looks very good. I wish I could have some.
