A Happy New Year to you!

The healthy intent sounded good. One question... how were you going to consume the okra? I always disliked it (except breaded/fried) until I started eating Indian food (I love Inian okra) - but I have never thought of it as being simultaneously edible and healthy.

I'd planned on eating it raw but was just not in the mood. Learned that from farmermarketlady who said her son does that, as though they were carrots.

When I first bought some Thursday before last I was going to a friend's house that night and called him to ask if he liked okra. It turns out not so much, but he felt like enabling me to buy what I was evidently excited by, and told me to buy it. He cut it into maybe 1/4 inch rounds and fried it without breading in olive oil and a LOT of garlic. Was a finger-food side dish (for some concept of fingerfood) with our dinner, and he packed the rest in a container with paper towels inside and I would have a few at a time as a snack for the next week.

need to fry more, but that requrires being home to cook.

The only issue between us is I don't see you very often, but then you are busy and I'm busy, and life goes on. Someday we'll do a dancing goddess photo shoot, right?

[vvalkyri]

yes. there are so many things I want to do in theory. It's go to wait for another couple weeks minimum, though...

I understand. Life is more complicated than we sometimes wish, does not mean it is bad, just is what it is. wishing you good holidays!
