All you loyal blogreaders out there may remember me not being able to find frozen okra on the west coast. Yesterday Tim came home and plopped this bag down that he had found at Winco. Yup, frozen okra. So I guess it's a sign that he wants me to cook it. Anybody up for some fried okra? It's yummy I promise.
p.s. I got a lot of responses about people's distaste of okra and I just have to say that boiled okra is the nastiest thing on the planet, so if you haven't at least tried it fried, you might want to reserve your opinion of it until you've tried MY fried okra!!

Erin! You're so cute!!! I've always wanted to try Okra... next time we're in the area, I'm sooo inviting myself over :)
Yay! Can you post your secret? I love fried okra but I can't figure out how to cut down on the slime...
Jennifer- my secret is that I cut the okra while it's still frozen. Each piece of okra I cut in half. It's a little time-consuming but it cuts waay down on the slime factor to do it while frozen, and it's also a lot healthier when you fry it. Happy cooking!
count me in...I think okra is great! Growing up in the Pacific Northwest it wasn't that common, but we ate it regularly in the Philippines. I don't know why more people don't like it.
