Howard Garrett, the Dirt Doc, says pick the green tomatoes and then put them between layers on newspaper to ripen. I am trying that. It breaks my heart to see the little gems hanging on the limp limbs.
Someone else said cook Emeril Lagasse's Green Tomato soup. I did. Yum. But a bit too spicy for my tastebuds even though I cut out two of the three peppers. I think, folks from New Orleans can really bear more heat than the average Floridian.
