How does your garden grow?

Seems like okra is one of those that folks really, really like or flat out can’t stand.

Glad to see you are still here.

So am I.

I'm in the love it camp. I ate okra almost every day this summer. Until the daily rains and black spot got my main patch. But I planted a late crop and it should make until a killing frost comes along.

I like it too. My favorite way is to blanch it then toss in a shaker bag of flour, corn meal, and seasonings. Put in casserole dish and freeze then transfer to ziplock bags for frying. Getting to where I don’t wanna do it much any more but it sure is good.

There is nothing like good fried okra, but we cooked it in the nuker most days. A Tbs of olive oil, the seasoning of your choice and a few minutes of nuclear power. Cover with stretch wrap, but leave an air hole on the sides. But with no power, I had to do what I had to do.

We picked our last okra last week before the killing frost hit. We like to grill it or oven bake it...no coating except some olive oil...yummy and not slimy.

Seems to me that Okra..."Okrey" as my Dad called it...is an acquired taste. Dad loved it fried, but I couldn't stand it; made me nauseous. Today, I love it, fried and pickled especially. Don't often get fresh okra; quit raising it years ago. We go with the frozen Stillwell brand, comes sliced, breaded and ready to fry.

I would be interested as to how any of you cook it on the grill though.

Okra has always been a staple for us. We freeze 2 bushels for winter & spring. Boiled,fried,pickled,with stewed tomatoes and in gumbo. Never mastered grilling.

I've cooked it in foil on the grill. The other night I cooked it in a pan, on the grill. I bet it would do good in my electric grill. Over coals it would be hard to get them all turned at the right time.

I hated squash as a youngster and didn’t like onions until I was nearly 40. Now I like extra onions. Also hated Miller Lite and mostly liked Budweiser products until I was 48. Now the complete opposite. Guess my tastes changed?
