Green tomatoes

As I nestled the tomato plants into their support cages today, I knocked a couple of unripe green tomatoes off the plants. Can I do anything with them?

My mom used to make pickled green tomatoes, and also slice them and fry them. And I'm afraid the mental "taste" of them pickled and deep fried is completely at odds with anything sweet.... sorry!

I remember how shocked I was to find that Ember Day Tart, quite sweet, had onions as the major ingredient.

I do remember that one feast in my experience, too! It's the Infamous Onions and Raisin Feast, from about 1980, where everything Duchess Caellyn made had one or the other, or both, in it.

Um...okay. But I was agreeing with you about the green tomatoes being kinda weird for a substitute for apple pie filling.

Ah, got it. Sorry for the non comprehension there!

(Can I use the excuse that jen's 2nd trimester brain rot is contagious?)

I don't think so. After all, if it was communicable, then the baby would be beaming mind-grow-waves at you and you'd be sharper than a tack now!

Not sucking it out?
