Fried Green Tomatoes - Glenn's

Not a exact recipe but here is how I do it.

Slice several green tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick. 
Lay the tomatoes on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. 
Combine some flour, corn starch, and corn meal in a pin tin. 
Beat an egg with some water or milk in a bowl. 
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan. 
Dip each slice of tomato into the egg mix and then cover with the flour/corn meal. 
Carefully add the tomato slice to the hot shortening. 
After several minutes turn each slice over and finish cooking. 
Don't be in a hurry to turn over the tomatoes. 
Place the tomatoes on paper towels to drain before transferring to a serving platter. 
Serve and enjoy.

Options: add some finely chopped onion or onion powder to the flour/corn meal mixture.
