Have I shared this before?
Evidence of my problem with Cheez-Its can be traced way back...

A New Addiction

We are growing okra in the garden. I never would have guessed that this crop would bring me the most joy. I honestly thought it would be the tomatoes. Don't get me wrong, I love my tomatoes. Their production has been stellar - but they've worn me out.

I had no idea that okra plants produced such beautiful flowers.



And I can't eat enough of them. I've used okra in many dishes (and I love them pickled!) but by far, my favorite way to prepare okra is the simplest: toss in a bit olive oil, salt, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, tossing every 5.
