>>I can tell you've never had my grandmother's fried okra before.

When can we drop by for dinner?

Well, if you find yourself in SE Tennessee anytime soon, drop on by! When cooked properly, there is no slimey inside. The trick is to cook it just long enough to make it crispy, but to get it off the stove before it gets cooked dry. If it cooks too long, it gets crunchy. My wife and I canned 48 jars of pickled okra this summer as well. My twist on pickled okra is to put some peppers and garlic in along with the okra. For the hot hot variety, I actually drop a little powdered cayenne pepper in with the vinegar!! Yummy!!
