Down Home Gardenin' to Cookin'






This year I wanted to grow a couple of unique plants. One was okra. Having Cajun French as part of my heritage, I've always had a taste for southern food. So I figured if I grew some okra, I could try my hand at homemade gumbo. But tonight, I decided to fry my first batch. With a little milk, cayenne pepper, and cornmeal, I tried my hand at fried okra. Although the oil was a bit too hot, I'd say the first go 'round was a success. But my Cajun relatives probably would say I have a lot to learn.
