  1. Jack, I don't give many 5s but this was absolutely wonderful. We just picked our first batch of okra and I decided to give DH a treat with "fried" okra. He said it was like eating candy. Thanks for submitting your recipe.

As a Yankee transplanted to the Old South, my tastes have been slowly educated to the finer and hotter things in life. With 40 years in the Fire-Rescue service, I have had some incredable "on duty" meals, on both ends of the scale! In self defence, even as Chief, I often do the cooking. One thing can be taken as gospel, no matter how much complaining, there are never any leftovers.
