Southern Fried Green Tomatoes

Hi all, I just harvested a lot of green tomatoes, because the tomato plants developed a blight.  Then I found a  recipe for fried green tomatoes Southern-style.  It can be found at: http://busterbucks.hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Make-Fried-Green-Tomatoes . I can't wait to try them.  Previously, I was just dipping the green tomato slices in cornmeal and frying them, but this recipe has buttermilk, flour, and cornmeal.  There also is a technique that uses salt and sugar to make the juices come out of the green tomato slices. I may make green tomato mincemeat for pies at Christmas time ((http://allrecipes.com/recipe/green-tomato-mincemeat/) and some of the green tomatoes will turn into red ones.  In that case I may make salsa or spaghetti sauce.  Red tomatoes can be frozen by placing them into boiling water, then plunging them into cold water.  This makes their skins come off very easily.
