It's November, what ever, who cares.

I've come to the conclusion you can bread and fry up just about anything and it'll get eaten.

(Perhaps out of pity . . . after all, they did go to all that trouble preparing it, - might as well be polite.)

I'm stealing that.

No egg plant either or any chicken guts aka fish bait.

Rita watcher that Fried Green Tomato movie and said she had never had them.  Went out to the garden and got a green on, sliced it, egg and cracker crumbed it and fried it in some lard as its proper, ended up tossing it, even the dog wouldn't eat it.

Mom and both the grandma's made it and snarfed it up.

Okra = Bleh  , Never ever.... YUCK , even if its fried , not me

Squash - eh    pass

eggplant paragon , had it , its OK    Given a choice in Italian, I'll order something else like Veal paragon

[Delmonico]

Okra, good stuff many ways.   

Summer squash fried, naw, sauteed without coating yes or steamed but not a zuke the size of the Hindenburg, use to think Zukes had to be disguised like something else.

Okra...
drench  in buttermilk, then roll in all purpose flour, dip again and roll in cornmeal mixture,  add garlic salt & pepper.
  heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry okra,  for 1-1/2  minutes on each side or until golden brown....
Then throw it the hell out

We raised okra in the garden three years ago. I am fond of okra.
One thing I learned, when they start to produce, harvest daily when they're around three inches in length. Very tender and tasty.

Wait too long and they're only good for craft projects to dry out and make rattles out of with the loose seeds inside the pod. As they dry out, they split at the lengthwise ridges and expose the white underlay, creates a striking striated green and white effect you can then varnish after sure they're bone dry. Drill the stem at the cap and mount on a nicely branched bough and add feathers or yarn. Great rhythm makers.

Okra makes very good pickles also but are often best stewed (gumbo) to bring out the full slimy effect.

Did you know that cooking your kale leaves in coconut oil makes it easier to scrape into the trash?

Morning all.

Today's regimen has thus far included deworming a horse, frying eggs, and pulling a small car out of the snow with a 2wd backhoe. I am not qualified to operate a backhoe, but I didn't break anything, so I'm counting it as a success.

Kale ain't nothing but a collard with a wrinkly leaf, cook them with hog jowls and some hot sauce and they are good.   Wrinkles just make them harder to clean and they cost more i the stores.  Collards would suck as bad if Yuppies tried to fix them.

Fend for yourself day here, found a Swiss Steak in my assortment of frozen foods, as good as it was 3 months ago.

So I noticed.  One of this horse's many oddities is that anytime he gets stressed, he gulps down water like it's going out of style. So when we gave him the paste (while he was chewing his favorite treats),  he discovered it was too sticky to spit out and instead washed it down with about a gallon of water.

News from Montana:

It's chilly. Had a little snow today. That's about the totality of the day here.
