My mother went through an okra phase when I was growing up – in my early teens, maybe. I don’t remember whether or not I liked it, just a day when I was in hysterical laughter about my repulsion to its fuzzy, slimy nature. It totally creeped me out that day. Maybe it’s because I saw it raw. Oh, childhood kitchen memories.

Maybe I should give okra another chance and cook with it myself. I’ve probably had it in jambalaya.

Yep- can be a dish unto itself though might be lacking on the protein side. Could always add beans to the mix or enjoy it with fish or your meat of choice. And look out for Monday C.- all about dins.
