I successfully made fried okra tonight. I thanked the guy who owns the day care my kids stay at for some black eyed peas he gave us and he gave me some okra and squash. I tossed it with almond meal, because I'm allergic to corn It was delicious and I ate it all which made my kids happy (I didn't really make that much more than a single serving).
The squash was not as successful. I steamed it, mashed it and mixed in a touch of honey and some parmesean cheese. It came out really sweet like apple sauce instead of yellow mashed potatoe the way I pictured. Both kiddoes are weirded out. Next time I'll just fry it with onions.
I have hidden chinese food at work. I can't eat rice at home, but I was determined today for lunch. I discovered that I could call into my favorite chinese place, and it only took 6 minutes to get there and a little less to get back to work and I had time to eat at my desk. I have a little anxiety about being in public places on my own so I never eat out for lunch, I always bring something back. That's probably odd.
