Time for Okra

In the past, okra was a vegetable I would only look at and preferred to not eat or touch. Seemed way to slimy to me. I changed my mind the day I was served some fried okra.


And, so, last spring I seeded some okra and was absolutetly enthralled with its beauty.

Morning garden walks are always a delight to me, and seeing the flowering pods of the okra made it extra special. Indeed, okra is lovely to look at.



It's that time of year again, here, in the AZ desert to seed okra and so a few Monday's ago, several farm volunteers came by to specifically seed okra in starter pots. And just look what's coming up in those little seed pots - okra!

All because of fried okra, I have a new Twitter friend who is all about food and wine and she posted this yummy fried okra here.

Shabbat: The Ball and The Baby


Today is Shabbat and we are celebrating the gift of choosing to rest and do a little of not much of anything. So, this morning Michael and I and three littles sat out in the side yard, sipped some French Press and experienced something that I'd not call much of anything....but more of something. Did you slow down to enjoy today?
