Fast Food

[jinman]

When you need a quick lunch, what could be better?

Olive Oil - Salon De Provence, France
Veggies - Wise County, Texas, USA

I guess I'm dining with an international flair.

Sure looks good. I'm jealous, no ripe tomatoes here yet. I could manage the rest of it

Good Afternoon Jim,
Darn that looks good !

I might have to give Rox a call !

Good to see your stickin to the diet..... I had a tomato sandwich today along with a piece of leftover chicken, but of course I used Hellmans Real Mayonaise, that kind of shot the calorie count into space, but it sure was good !

My lunch the last three days in a row has been green beans right out of the garden.

Well, before I break my arm while pattin' myself on the back, I should say that for dessert I had a 1" thick slice of the delicious zucchini bread my wife made yesterday. No olive oil required. . . .

Like you, I could eat green beans three days in a row. Heck! I could probably eat them 7 days a week. I picked several pounds of okra this morning, and for dinner will probably have okra and squash stir-fried with onions and banana peppers. A few more tomato slices on the side will round out my meal. As much as my wife would like to eat that stuff, her stomach won't let her. She would be up half the night if she did. She will probably help me eat some of the fried okra though.

I guess I will just have to ask.....What is Okra?

Well, I'll take your question very seriously and say that okra is one of those southern foods that you won't miss until you've had it. It's a key ingredient of gumbo and is prepared and served breaded and fried in restaurants throughout the south. Here is a link to info.

Okra

Okra raw is kind of disgusting. it has a fuzzy outside and a slimy inside with big soft seeds. I don't even know what it taste like raw because I can't eat fuzz and slime, but breaded and fried with catsup it is my favorite food.

Jim it looks like you have another good garden, I envy you. Lee county is still without rain and most everyone has let their garden go, it is almost impossible to water enough with 100+ temps & wind every day.

Bon Appetit!

Don, 30 years ago, I had a secretary who brought her own lunch to work; mostly raw vegetables, and she frequently included pods of okra. At that time, I'd never heard of anyone eating raw okra, so naturally, I had to try it to see what it was like. You ought to try it sometime. It's actually not bad, but for my taste, it's not good enough to waste by eating it raw, either. Personally, I like it fried, stewed, and pickled, but my wife only wants it fried.
