Fried Green Tomatoes and milk gravy

As promised here's the Old Fashioned Fried Green Tomatoes like Sipsey made!

Fried Green Tomatoes:
 1 medium green tomato (per person)
Salt
Pepper
White Cornmeal
Bacon Drippings

Slice the tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick, season with salt and pepper and coat on both sides with cornmeal. In a large skillet, heat enough bacon drippings to coat the bottom of the pan and fry tomatoes until lightly browned on both sides.

Fried Green Tomatoes and Milk Gravy:
 3 tablespoons bacon fat
4 firm green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch think
beaten eggs
dry bread crumbs
flour
milk
salt
pepper

Heat your bacon fat in a heavy frying pan. Dip tomatoes in eggs, then in bread crumbs. Slowly fry them in the bacon fat until golden brown on both sides. Put your tomatoes on a plate. For each tablespoon of fat left in the pan, stir in one tablespoon of flour and blend well:then stir in 1 cup warm milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper till you like it. Pour over tomatoes and serve hot.

PS. This gravy is great over pork chops! I'll post that recipe tomorrow!
