I love it fried but I also love it cooked with a mess of cream or purple hull peas. And then there is okra and tomatoes. When we go to Houston in a few weeks, I'll get to do some of the cooking and I'll be cooking okra although Ned and I will be the only ones eating it.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-81613070776946710152010-05-16T15:32:29.529-05:002010-05-16T15:32:29.529-05:00I love okra, but the rest of my family is so ho-hu...I love okra, but the rest of my family is so ho-hum about it.

I like to either eat it on the cob with a sprinkling of chili, lime, and s&p. I also just like to saute it, yummo. All the foods you've talked about sound delish! I bet your food is so good.

In the last century, I decided to prepare fried okra for a few guests who were coming over, buying up Walmart’s entire offering of about half a kilo. My friend Jeff and I worried whether that would be enough. When I proudly presented a platter of the fried okra, Guest No. 1 shrieked “That’s why I left the South!” and refused it. Guest No. 1, a Mexican who considered himself rather worldly, gingerly took a piece, savoring it with all the gusto reserved for eating a piece of fried mouse. Jeff and I looked at one another, breaking into giant smiles, knowing that we would have the platter all to ourselves. Don’t waste fried okra on the unappreciative!jennifer rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285568306915329954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-14505633652852071512010-05-15T22:05:38.475-05:002010-05-15T22:05:38.475-05:00What to do????
