11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Ooooh, yum! I love tomatoes! We don't have any ripe ones yet, but last night we picked some green ones and had our first-of-the-year fried green tomato supper. Not that healthy, but they sure were good. I can't wait for ripe ones! A tomato sandwich sounds absolutely delicious right now!
Yummy! :) I'm really looking forward to when we can start picking our tomatoes. They're still tiny green things right now. :)
Blessings,

Those would be great fried!!
We've never had fried green tomatoes, though we've heard lots about them! :) Any suggestions on how to fix them?
Oh . . . tomatoes fresh from the garden cannot compare with those from the grocery store! I am sure that your family has been enjoying them! :)
We cut our green tomatoes into slices after removing the top and bottom of each one, then we let the slices soak in salt water for about a half hour or so. Cooking them is just dipping them into flour and frying in some vegetable oil (enough to cover the bottom of the skillet) until golden brown. I had never heard of them until I got married and my husband started asking me to make them!
Living on tomato sandwiches sounds like heaven. Love the tips too on how to prepare Fried Green Tomatoes, the closest I've ever gotten is reading the book!
I've never heard anyone soaking their tomatoes in salt water first. That's interesting. We, slice them thinly, dip in egg, dip in flour or flour/cornmeal and fry in skillet with about 1 inch grease...or of course deep fried. Do you deep fry in Virginia???--Anyway...salt 'um when you take 'um out of the grease and eat while hot. Delicious!!
Thanks for the ideas for frying green tomatoes! I think I'd like to try them.
Oh - one correction on this post; when I went out in the garden today, I started wondering "Did I really pick the very same tomatoes I took a picture of?" I really am not sure I picked the very ones in the picture.
Tomato production is now REALLY starting to get rolling around here; we're picking a basket-full a day. Yippee!
