A twisted BLT? Fried green tomatoes, homemade pimento cheese, homemade biscuits and bacon jam? From the Courter’s kitchen.COURTERS’ KITCHEN
This monthly cooking series features husband and wife team Barry and Kelley Courter.
BARRY SAYS: There are some meals that are so Southern, you feel like you should eat them out on the porch dressed in seersucker and straw hats. This was one of those.
Sometimes when Kelley shares what she has in mind for our monthly food feature, I simply smile and nod because I’m not always certain what she is talking about. I know it will be good, but she sometimes uses words that are foreign to me because, well, they are foreign. Words like tapenade and remoulade.
This month’s menu was not one of those.
First, anything that starts with bacon is already a hit. When she said “bacon jam,” I was sold. Then she said fried green tomatoes, and it got even better. Then she said homemade pimento cheese, and I began slobbering like a bulldog. At some point she mentioned her mother’s drop biscuits, but I was having a Homer Simpson moment. “Mmmmm, bacon.”
