Drain and dredge in cornmeal that has been seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat fat and fry cutlets until done and crisp on both sides. Meanwhile, bring Ro-Tel tomatoes and bay leaf to a boil. Add remaining ingredients. Reduce by about 1/3, season with Tabasco to taste. Drain cutlets on paper towels and then put on a platter. Cover with sauce and serve. It was dark when I cooked this, so the identities and amounts of herbs are open to some question.
