[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Always Anti-fascist!
sj, yeah, I used to think it was my job. But it doesn't pay worth dick. And if you're not nice it gives so much currency to the Bitter Cripple thing, and argh. Sometimes I feel like giving up on meeting people in meatspace, period. Other disabled people bitch at me, and Able-Bodied People want to go over "What happened?" for the millonth-billionth time. And if I try to lighten it up by making a joke or whatever Carolyn Hax would say, all I get is the fascinating "Wow, you're sure not what I expected!" or "I think it's so *refreshing* the way you laugh at yourself."(Which,ok, are not Horrible Insults. I just wish people wanted to keep my attention the way I'm expected,almost commanded, to keep theirs.)

Thrive to spite them
I've had grilled okra that was really good. You thread the pods between two skewers and grill it. Although it did come out a wee bit slimy that way.
Dad doesn't mind the slime and steams okra. Which makes it really, really slimy.

Wow do people suck.
sj, yeah, I used to think it was my job.
Yeah, I never did, but the questions have been coming less and less the last few years. Maybe I'm finally getting better at my "Don't talk to me" look.

Oh no to the no water!
I decree my pink eyed peas served over shitake mushroom grits to be delicious. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of the haul tomorrow...
I've also been blogging like a fool! Blogging about vacation, beer and vacation beer!

Okra should be tossed in a mixture of cornmeal, flour, S&P (also maybe some cayenne) and fried in bacon fat. This also works for green tomatoes.

I hated okra when I was a kid, but now I like it as long as it's cooked right. Fried like Vortex says is yummy, and Iraqis make a wonderful stewed dish with okras and tomatoes.

I also like it stewed with corn, canned whole tomatoes, and a ham hock. Add lima beans, and it's succotash, but my family doesn't like them, so we leave them out. The hock, however, is sacred.

Mmm Vortex, I'll have to try that.
