Hey Becky…my Mama is from LA. She lived her first few years of life in Andalusia and Montgomery AL, grew up in Niceville and now lives in Milton. My Daddy is from NC and worked for the gov’t so they ended up in MD…where I’m from. When I was a kid I didn’t even know that MD had a beach…when it was summer vacation, we drove to Ft. Walton Beach from MD. There isn’t anything as nice as being on the Gulf…except maybe hanging out for a week or two in the Caribbean.

Christy, I love the way you write. It sounds just like Mama….except she can’t cook to save her life – bless her heart.

I taught myself to cook when I was a teenager – and I do pretty well, thank you…and then I married a man whose last name is, well, COOK! How ironic…and now I sell gourmet food mixes…the irony just continues.

My son told me that last time I made fried okra that is was good, but not as good as my stepmother makes it (BJ who lives in GA). I’m going to wow my teenage son with your recipe.

I made fried okra last night! It was great, I’ve never had okra cooked that way before. My mum cooks okra and I have eaten it since I was a kid but she cooks it in a totally different way (it does turn out a little slimey, but don’t tell her I said that!).
I had been wanting to try fried okra for the longest time but I only ever see it sold frozen and I didn’t think it would work with frozen. The last couple of weeks I saw fresh okra in the local market so I bought some.

I had to substitute polenta for cornmeal, but it was yummy! Mine turned out looking like yours, I am so glad because I saw another recipe online and the fried okra was completely coated in the cornmeal and I was thinking I had done it wrong.

Well, they might I do get odd looks sometimes when I get dreamy-eyed talking about biscuits and gravy or fried shrimp (I’m from Savannah so nothing says home like good fried shrimp).

I’ve got my covered dish ready

Christy, do you mean the Lambert’s in Foley? I’ve been there a couple of times. It’s impossible to eat light there! You will come out full to the gills! Their regular meals are ample and then they come around with those “pass around” side items and fresh baked rolls that are hard to resist!

SUCH a classic, right? BUT you’ve gotta have some really good hot sauce too. Can’t forget the hot sauce.

Lol, for some reason (I honestly don’t know why), thoughts of fried okra in California made me laugh. I just can’t imagine it there but maybe we need to implant some southerners and start a silent movement of bringing southern dishes to Californians. Once a week, people would step outside and walk to neighbors houses with covered dishes of okra, cornbread, dumplings, and casseroles.

Reckon they’d think we were trying to poison them?
