Fried Squash

              Not too long ago I had a couple of days to go visit my mom. During that time my sweet sweet mawmaw cooked dinner for the family. You know what that means don't you? Oh yes, I got some handy grandmother tips for cooking. And everyone knows that they cook the best!! The main thing I got her to teach me how to make is fried squash. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! For those of you who have not been fortunate to live in the south and tasted this delightful dish straight from the garden. You're missing out! It isn't that hard... so go ahead, try it!

             First you need some squash. I used about 5 of the small/medium size but you will know what is enough to feed your family. (The small squash are the best tasting!) You also need one onion. Any type should work, but I used yellow. Then you need some all purpose flour and corn meal. Take some oil and start heating up a large skillet. Cut the squash and the onion up into slices.
As you may know, grandmothers tend to ditch the books and cook from experience. This means that they don't always have a measuring system. The flour and the corn meal are for coating the squash. Take about 1 cup of flour to 1/2 cup of corn meal, mix it up, and coat the squash in it. Put the squash and onion in the skillet. Let it cook for a little bit (<10 minutes) flipping once. Reduce to medium heat, cover, and let it cook until the squash looks like a delicious hot mess. like this:

Now doesn't that just make your mouth water?
