Less, you will be happy to know that Spice is also in HD.

THis seems to me like a bad thing. Does it make the skankiness of the actors and actresses that much clearer and focused? I hope that they have a No Ron Jeremy films rule. that might go without saying if Spice is as soft-core as Playboy. But not having watched it ever (to my knowledge), I don't know this.

Have I already asked the "Who gets off to soft-core stuff anyway?" question? If so, I would guess that the requisite time period has passed and I'll be allowed to ask it again. So, who, Bilmore, who?

Don't know. Just bought a 55" Fujitsu plasma with a triple Salamander stand and an HDTivo. That Spice shit runs $10. We haven't got that kind of money to just throw away.

Yup. Definitely a bad thing.

Word is that Less has not yet invested in this technology, if only because the HDTV screen makes no improvements upon the display of his extensive Betamax library.

Yes, but when it comes to the Spice Channel, this Bill McNeal quote is more apropos:

"Have you ever heard the expression, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and then toss it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you asked for in the first place'?"

mix a cup of bread crumbs with 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and a good healthy shake of cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

beat one egg in a 1/2 cup of buttermilk.

slice the green tomatoes about a 1/4 inch thick, dip in egg/buttermilk mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Fry in a scant 4 oz. of olive oil (not extra virgin). drain on paper towels.

serve as is, or garnish with one table spoon crab louie on each slice.

I would substitute cornmeal for the breadcrumbs, and replace the parmesean with garlic powder. That'll give it a more authentic southern flavor. Real southern cooks would fry it in bacon grease, but I agree that some kind of vegetable oil would be alright.

I like mine served with hot sauce and lemon.

I like corn meal, but I find that bread crumbs stick better. And with the addition of cayenne, you best be tasting before you add any hot sauce, Cher.

Must everything be a challenge with you? There's more than one way to fry a tomato, you know...

I wasn't looking to challenge, so much as share thoughts. I usually think of that as conversation. But I'm old-fashioned that way.

I use plain old white flour with a little corn meal, or, better, mas harina. Lemon is a good idea - you can throw a bit in the pan while frying. Another good oil choice is Crisco.

Make sure you get tomotoes that are just starting to get some color - those are the best, a little bit of a sharp taste and a little bit softer, but they still hold together. I haven't tried the parmesan bit, but will. In lieu of garlic powder, a couple of cloves in the oil works fine. Throw in a few herbs, too, if you like.

They aren't just southern. We ate them in upstate New York as a kid.
