We went eat breakfast at the 59 Diner in Houston. It just was not as good as what we remember. We have not been in several months, so maybe the place is going down hill or it just could have been an off morning in the kitchen. The funny part was when the waiter was taking our order, I was explaining that I wanted a double order of HUGO sauce and he looked at me and said I KNOW..I remember you. I guess I am the only one who can handle the hot sauce. I ordered my hashbrowns cooked a little more than they normanly cook them cause sometimes if find them to be too soft. WELL, When they brought the food, my looked YUMMY !! Danny's was not what he ordered. He said sausage & bacon and they only had sausage ( it was cooked so hard he could not eat it ) and not toast. Too funny cause i asked the waiter for the toast and he finally brought some. It was burnt and had been scrap'ed with a serated knife. Too funny.. I do that at my house but you would think that they would just make some fresh toast ?? Well, my hashbrows were hard as rocks and the tasted like old grease. And so did the country fried steak, like fried in old grease. When he came pick up Danny's plate, I said something about the burnt toast and he said the toaster was set too hight but he could bring some more and the bacon Danny ordered. It was not big deal, we just paid and left.
We went to Central Market..the BEST grocery store here. Danny wanted some green tomatoes to fry. The farmers market was not open on Sunday so we went there. He wants a burger for supper so we picked up some fresh buns and fresh ground chuck. Got some really fresh fruit and good cheese. Went to HEB to get a few other things. I love shopping with Danny.
Not too hungry for lunch so we fried some green tomatoes. I took some AP flour and seasoned it reall good with salt and a lot of black pepper. Mixed and egg with a little water and then took enriched yellow corn meal and seasoned it with salt and a lot of black pepper.
Danny tasted the tomatoes and said they were not as good as home grown. Not enough acid for him. We sliced them kinda thick and put salt and pepper on them,.
Heated up a little oil in a cast iron fry pan and put the tomatoes in. Make sure the oil is good hot. When good and bown on the bottom, flip them over and cook on the other side.
Looking GOOD !!
Put them on a cookie rack over a sheet pan to cool off. Yea right, we both burnt our mouths tasting them before they cooled off...LOL
I think these were the best ones I ever cooked. Some of the ones I have fried in the past were kinds too red and were mushy when you fried them. These were very hard green ones. I did good..I only ate 3 slices. I'm thinking about the burgers we are gonna cook for supper.LOL
Danny said we are going to try and find some home grown ones at a farmers market. I guess the ones with more acid taste better. I had to laugh cause he said when we find some, he will ask them to cut one for him to taste to make sure they are home grown and have a lot of acid. He said really good ones will burn your hands because of the acid if you have a little cut on you finger. I told him we will go the the knife sharpner that they have there to get our knives done and he can cut his finger before we look for our tomatoes.LOL. We have an eletric one but have brough our good knives there for them to sharpen them real good. Good idea to do that once a year they say, who has time for that..LOL
