Oh, thanks so much. I love that cake & haven't had it in years. After all I ate after work, I'd probably still have room for some.

(I still feel guilty celebrating on this day after what happened 5 years ago, but thanks.)

Hope yours was an enjoyable day, Ginger!!

I've started counting them backwards, Ginger. Hope yours is happy.

Happy birthday and many, many more!

Happy Birthday Ginger! Enjoy life to it's fullest!

Nancy

Happiest birthday wishes, Ginger :)

Wishing you a Happy Birthday!

And many, many more.

Thanks again, so much. Knock wood so far on the storms but another one just left Africa so we'll all sit & bite our nails.

Sorry I missed this! Happy Belated Birthday Ginger. Thanks for all your hard work here on the recipe exchange.

Tracey

Happy belated birthday, Ginger. I think I've been your posting companion for about 5 years now.

Ginger, I just had to come back long enough to wish you a very, very happy birthday:)

Marilyn

Thank you again, Marilyn, Tracey & Ruthanna.

my apologies for being so late, but the very best of birthday wishes to you, ginger! i certainly hope you got an extra dollop of whipped cream with your celebration!

I got a TON of it, San. Thanks!

A very happy birthday to you..........

Parmesan Pan Fried Tomatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Panko Japanese breadcrumbs
12 slices tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick (about 3 tomatoes)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
Combine flour, onion powder, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.
In separate bowl combine panko and Parmesan.
In third bowl combine eggs and mustard.
Take slices of tomato and dip in flour, dust off excess. Then dip in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Finally dip in parmesan/panko mixture, pressing Parmesan mixture onto slices for good coverage.
Repeat until all slices are breaded. These should be stored in a single layer dusted lightly with extra crumbs.
Heat olive oil in non-stick frying pan, over medium-high heat. Place 3 slices in pan, and let cook about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, until just golden brown. Don't flip too soon or Parmesan mix will fall off. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.

Hi Ginger! Happy Belated Birthday!

I just came back last night at about 1:00 A.M. so I missed the big day, actually I was flying on that day. Since you said that you got a ton of whipped cream, it sounds like it was a great birthday and I hope it was a happy one for you.

You shouldn't feel guilty at all about celebrating on that day. Its life-affirming to celebrate and rejoice in the good things in our lives! If you've been counting backwards the way I have been the last few years, that's plenty of cause to celebrate!

Happy To You, Ginger....I am in Colorado visiting my sons and just happened to check out the site for new recipes. Hope you had a great day. Your ability to "search" is most appreciated.

Thanks to all 3 of you! Woodie, I've counted back so far, I should be starting kindergarten this year but nobody believes me. Thanks again. (Wish I had some of those tomatoes.)
