We have frozen cut okra up here in the northeast...have you ever tried freezing the excess from a garden?

mmmmm --- Nothing like baby okra steam cooked with a tad of water and butter until tender and then letting it slide down the guzzle. It will make you slap yer mamma. ;)

Yeah, MB. I used to freeze fresh okra in one-gallon zip-lock bags. It'll keep for more than a year.

Eeewwwww. Nasty stuff. I can stomach it fried, but that's it. I just don't have the genetic predisposition to like slimy food.
I heard there's a company producing Turkey & Gravy flavored soda pop this year. Maybe next year they can offer a special batch of Okra-Cola. Might go good with your gumbo.

I LOVE OKRA. I have fond memories of going to my grandma's and she'd have a huge cast iron skillet frying. We grew it in our garden too. Didn't aquire a taste for boiled until I was a young teen keeping my figure and I learned it wasn't fattening.My Grandmother on Mom's side was part cajun so I aquired the taste of gumbo from there.I still prefer it fried. I taught alot of kids going through the lunch line at school that stuch their nose up to it to try it and eat it as well as eating beans and cornbread.That's my favorite food and I was raised on that. Always with lots of onions.

I LOVE okra anyway too fired or pickled are my favorite. I have a friend who moved here(oklahoma) from Minnesota, she had no clue what okra was and she hated it when she tried it. I tell her I don't understand how you can't like it. However she introduced me to something yummy they have there call Lefsa(sp?) It's kinda like a tortilla her but they use it like bread. Just thought I would share that. Happy Turkey Day!

Have you ever tried pickled okra? Surprisingly good.

I'd never eaten any southern food until I met my husband. Even though I was raised in the South, my parents were both Yankees and all their friends were, too.

So now I know the joys of baked okra (with a bit of bacon), fresh creamed corn and field peas, lima beans, collards and skillet cornbread with pot likker, boiled peanuts, cornbread stuffing, rutabagas, buttermilk biscuits...oh, somebody stop me!

My father, at the age of 84, pretty much disowned all 8 of his children last Saturday in favor of a new wife. Told us he had no need of any pictures or memorabilia of our recently departed mother, or us, for that matter. So we gathered up our past and headed for our respective homes. Sure makes Thanksgiving a bit easier on the grocery budget. But it goes to show you that, once an asshole, always an asshole. Yeah, it hurt a little bit. Whaddaya gonna do?

Since the year 2000. (Not to be confused with John of A! who shameless copied me! Ha! Besides, I'm prettier.)

:O)

It would appear that deer have better taste in food than many humans.

Boiled okra? I refuse to eat any food from the phlegm family.

A good homemade soup isn't complete without okra.

My oldest nephew looks forward not to Thanksgiving, but the soup that Grandma will make after boiling and deboning the carcass. It's the homemade kind that almost all the left-overs go into.

You can't beat fried okra lightly breaded..mmm. I also love it in soups or in gumbo. We used to get it from a farmer's market nearby and it was sooo good!

Would you guys stop talking about okra?!! I can't get it up here except for frozen, and I sure miss it. If I could get my hands on some fresh okra, I'd coat it in cornmeal, fry it, and make a meal out of just that. I love fried eggplant too. We can get that here, but half the time it's about half dead by the time it gets to the stores.

Hi...I´m just surfed in and want to say hello!
