Bumble Bee Cafe

Featuring [Krescendo] and Old Barn Door

This whole scene was built around Krescendo’s Bumble Bee Cafe sign. It is part of the Dallas Sign Gacha that was released in April at GachaLand and there are still a few in the set that I plan on doing pictures around.

As I started pullings thing out of my inventory to see what matched the picture in my mind it all started falling in place. I was shooting for something along the lines of “The Whistle Stop Cafe”, the cafe from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. I loved that movie and I love fried green tomatoes. I will leave you with the recipe should you want to make them yourself! Easy and tasty!

Fried Green Tomatoes

INGREDIENTS
3 medium, firm green tomatoes
Salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
1 egg
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup peanut oil or other vegetable oil

1. Slice and salt green tomatoes: Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt. Let tomato slices stand for 5 minutes.

2. Set out shallow bowls with coating ingredients: While the salted green tomato slices are resting, place in 3 separate shallow bowls: the flour, the buttermilk and egg, and the breadcrumbs and cornmeal.

3. Dip green tomato slices in flour, egg mixture, then breadcrumb mixture: Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat. Beat the egg and the buttermilk together. Dip the green tomato slices in the flour-seasoning mix, then the buttermilk-egg mixture, then the cornmeal-breadcrumb mix.

4. Fry the green tomatoes: In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown.

Set the cooked tomatoes on paper towels to drain. These fried green tomatoes are fantastic with a little Tabasco sauce.
