Summer in the south means two things,  hot humid weather and fried squash.   This dish is simple to make and tastes great too.

1 cup milk
1 cup water
4 Yellow Squash
2 cups self-rising corn meal
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 medium onion-chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mix milk and water together in a medium sized bowl.  Wash squash and cut off ends.  Slice thin and place in milk.  Put cornmeal in a zip top bag.  Heat a non-stick pan with 2 Tablespoons oil on medium high heat. Take squash out of milk mixture one handful at a time and place in bag of meal.  Shake to coat.  Place coated squash into frying pan.  Continue this proceedure until all the squash have been coated. Add chopped onion, salt and pepper to the skillet.  Let squash brown before turning to brown the other side. It may be necessary to add a little more oil to the pan when you turn them.  Cook until squash is tender and serve hot.
