ah well we like cabbage too Shatzi....

If you don't like the "slime" in okra...try "roasting" it...I love okra cooked in any way it can be cooked, but it is completely different roasted...

take whole okra and lay them in on a cookie sheet, then spray them with olive oil "pam", then sprinkle with creole seasoning, or whatever kind of "dry" seasoning mix you have and put them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or so...it is really really good.

Great, now I am thinking about okra and seafood gumbo. sigh..

Hey Nessa,

What is EVOO?

L

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Nessa, you've been watching Rachel Ray!

I like cabbage....but I am fairly sure that brussels sprouts are not actually edible.....

I don't believe that okra is actually a food either.....

nope...I don't think so....

Laura,
Those are my sentiments exactly!

honey I TAUGHT RACHEL RAY... I've used a dump bowl for years....

LOL... and actually I rarely watch her... I rarely watch any food network stuff... although I heart Alton Brown..

I heart Alton Brown too ...but Rachel Ray annoys the CRAP outta me

besides...I really don't need to watch the food channel to learn how to make TUNA CASSEROLE!!!

"and you can SO entertain with it!!"....she says that about EVERYTHING!! as if I am going to have a dinner party and serve shepherd's pie!!

oh she bugs me....

she DOES have a remarkable work ethic though...

hey i've had dinner parties and served shepards pie... the guest of honor requested it.

mostly we have lasgana they like that too...

Ooooh, Rachel Ray haters this way:
No wait, I won't paste the link. Just Google "Rachel Ray s**ks community".
But I won't defend her, she is very annoying. Didn't mean to start anything!

I love Alton too. I'm wildly attracted to the dorky nerd type. with skills.

True, very true. And Kelly Ripa is better than Paris Hilton. Okay, now somebody else go next.

I'm having way too much fun on here today.

Tom Cruise really annoys me lately.....
