Someone was complaining about the recipes on the last thread, but us folks that have loved ones in the path need a little sidebar once in a while to relieve the pressure. That's the truth! I'm really worried about mine. Left NOLA at noon and headed towards family in Birmingham.

Recipe's are a great stress reliever not to mention the rest of us are picking up some recipe's to try out.

Exactly. It's called taking your mind off the problems, even if for only a short time. It helps break the tension and if it gives you just a moment's fun, then it's worth it. God bless your family and keep them safe. SVITW

Yeah, a lot of people with family in the area, from the area, or who just have fond memories of visiting take some comfort in remembering the good times in light of impending disaster. I don't think it diverts from the seriousness of the moment. If some people need a recipe to help cope, I say give it to them.

So how's this for a fried okra recipe:

2 to 3 cups okra, sliced 1/4 inch thick,
1 green tomato chopped,
1 onion chopped,
1 to 2 banana peppers chopped,
approximately 1/2 cup of white corn meal,
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil.

Dredge together all vegetables with corn meal and black pepper. Heat cast iron skillet with olive oil, then add ingredients. Fry over hot stove, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (some will blacken). When done, pour into bowl lined with paper towel to absorb any oil remnants. Each person can salt his own serving to taste.

To die for!
