How to throw a party for $10 a person--Sides.

First, allow me to say "привет" to my viewer from Russia, "спасибо!" 

You have to have enough sides to pull off a party.  We baked up some pita bread for hummus; bought some crackers for Millers Mild and Sweet Mustard sauce and used our stores of yet ripe green tomatoes to fry up so Southern goodness.


The Equinox falls twice a year.  Translated from Latin it means equal night.  This Friday, the 23rd the day and night will be roughly the same duration.  And then after, until the Spring, the days will be shorter, colder and utter Bullocks.


What You Need: 
Green tomatoes
*It turns out it doesn't nesc.
matter how close to ripeness the 
green fruit are.  The firmer, the more easily they hold together. (ed.)
Zucchini
2 eggs and 1/2 C milk
1/2 C cornmeal
1/2 C breadcrumbs
2 t salt and 1/4 t. black pepper
Flour
Cooking Oil
