I just saw a recipe for dry braised okra yesterday....ah, here it is [link]
That sounds like a fun place, Laura, sorry to hear it burned down.

While I was looking for cornmeal, I found some chickpea flour, and I might see what happens if I fry the okra with some pakora batter. Or I could be healthy and find something to do with them other than fry.

Oh, Hil, why would you do that :)
ARGH. So, my mother decided to go out of town for the anniversary of my dad's death (Tuesday). I was supposed to take her to the airport this morning at 6Am. Last night, she calls and tells me that her flight's been preemptively cancelled. So, she goes and cancels her hotel reservation. When the airline sent a message that the flight was back on today, she's mad at the airline. It was supposed to clear up by 10AM. Why did she cancel everything?

I've had roasted okra before and it was good. But I like okra and don't mind the slime.
Dad steams okra, which makes it really slimy but it makes intensifies the okra taste.

ugh what the hell, Vortex's mom? It's almost like she intentionally comes up with new ways to be difficult.

Another thing to remember -- the fresher the okra, the less slime.

Steph - have you heard from your brother? I read that there's some flooding and road closures in the Waterbury area.
So far there's nothing really bad in St Albans. But there's a section of guard rails on I89 near Milton that are washed out. There's already one lane closed in that area because the ground is eroding and the road has sunk a few inches.

I found some cornmeal, so I think I'm back to the fried okra idea. Still figuring out what to make to go with them. I think just some rice, and I'll cook the black-eyed peas with some tomatoes and hot sauce.

He lives in Northfield, which is a good 20- to 25-minute drive to Waterbury. (Although I'm sure there might be flooding there, too.) I talked to him yesterday, and he was expecting flooding and power outages, AND he didn't have to work today, so I'm assuming they stayed home and off the roads.

Discovery of the day: if you cook brown rice with the annatto oil used to make yellow rice, you end up with orange rice.
