Hello lovely. Would you post your next okra adventure including a recipe? I've done the corn, tomatoes, okra thing, but I need some more inspiration. Thx for the postcard. Thinking of you.. Jeanna

For me, it's all about fried okra. Very quick and simple. More to follow if I can get my act together. Also, I recommend stewing just tomatoes and okra with onions, possibly garlic, and a chipotle pepper (I use morita).

So many remarks about you needing to "get your act together!" I have always thought of you as being someone who, kind erk, has always had his act together.

I dig your act together. It's the best show in town.

I need as much of this brand of tuff love as y'all are willing to dish out. Thank you for insisting that my act's together.

Thanks Agnt. inkysocks! The produce can be a handful-- consistently unruly, often tardy, sometimes truant.
