Ruby is my great grandmother. I love all my memories of her cooking in her big ol' home, dinner buffets and most of all her taking us to get a dipped cone at Dairy Queen and the people in the drive through always refusing to let her pay. Not only was she a phenomenal cook, but a wonderful woman of God, always helping those in her community. I pray I can be 1/2 the lady she was.

Okra lovers will enjoy the ease and simplicity of this dish. It was tasty, but not as crisp as fried okra. I did appreciate not having the mess I create with frying. I used frozen okra, but next time will try fresh because I think it will be crisper. By the way, I have driven through Clarendon, TX many, many times being an old Texas Panhandle girl myself!
