Another Thing About Okra

As I’ve said before, I’ve come around about okra. Used to hate it. Love it. This is partly due to intensive lobbying by Dani Greer and Leslea Tash, but also because I was assured that baking okra would turn it good.


It did.


I’ve since come to love it all kinds of ways, even slimy. Isn’t that strange?


And here’s another thing: Okra blossoms are GORGEOUS! Okra is in the hollyhock/rose-o-sharon family, and it shows. Here are some snappies I took of an okra blossom.

I’m posting today at Fatal Foodies on the topic of food presentation. Please note that I do not “plate” the food. Neither do I mug the coffee nor bowl the soup.


One is also being interviewed today at The Diesel-Electric Elephant. Toddle over and have a dekko.
