Okra

Ironically, the one thing that has been doing well in our garden is the okra I planted on a whim.

We gathered enough the other day to make gumbo! And I just have to say – my wife’s gumbo is da bomb! Don’t ask me what it is but cajun cooking comes easy around here!

    awwwweee.shucks sweetie, when you say my dishes are “da bomb,” it inspires me to cook more for you! :)

    Okra was also our one winner last summer. Everything died except for the towering okra, which seems to love the atomic sun we get here in Texas. The problem was that I really dislike okra, but I did my best to serve it up for Devin via frying and pickles. Thankfully, he didn’t suggest we grow it again this summer.

    Exactly what part of the okra plant do you eat?
