What's cookin' boys?

Down here, it's okra. Once that stuff starts it won't stop 'til frost. My okra recipe - cut it when the pods are 1 or 2 days old, 1-1/2" long or so. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and steam for 7 minutes. Okra poppers. You have to grow it yourself, the market won't have baby pods.

We make Okra Sicles and it also freezes good for winter gumbo

Another use, my sister got tired of fooling with it, so she abandoned it. When it died and dried, it made autumn decorations, like corn stalks but the pods turned a pretty greyish color.
