@possummink , I will have to look in the freezer section for the Okra.

We were first introduced to it in Louisiana along with a whole new culture of foods.  

Okra, crawfish, lobster, gumbo, blackeyed peas, sweet tea, fried green tomatoes, Jambalaya, and tasted the sugar cane fresh from the fields to name a few of the delicious delights.

My Mom added Tabasco to almost everything morning, noon and night!

  She grew Okra when we moved back to Wyoming and then to NE.  

  My Sister's favorite birthday meal is Gumbo and Bread Pudding.

@lulutoby   I just remembered that my Dad added Tabasco to most things.  He was from the South, and a Chef, and I remember that when he visited us, his breakfasts were like dinners, chops with Tabasco sauce, hot peppers, potatoes, etc.  He would make a tomato stew with okra, potatoes, meat, etc., and I actually liked the gumminess of the okra, havn't eaten it that way in eons, only fried.

My Mother's cooking was bland, in general, so loved my Dad's food.  She did make a great fried chicken and several other specialties, and she had a huge sweet tooth so made desserts at the wink of an eye.

Gee, it really feels like fall this morning.  We woke up to a sunny 54 degrees; high temp will be 75 this afternoon.  I'm ready for it; we've had a lot of hot, humid weather.

We're going to coffee klatch this morning.  Then to a neat arts and crafts show later on.

Wishing everyone a great Saturday and weekend.  ((Hugs))

I've been doing some research on dragonflies.  Very interesting reading.  They fly so fast; no wonder, they have two sets of wings.  Love that they hone in on mosquitoes and other bugs.  I've read that seeing them so much is supposed to bring you good luck.
