Bama foods

I am quite excited to find myself involved in a community garden here in Birmingham, which has me suddenly coming home with food I'm not quite sure yet what to do with.
Here's today's batch:


Certainly have no idea how to cook okra (don't necessarily want to fry it, but hear sauteing (how the heck to I add accents on an English keyboard?) will make it slimy... doesn't sound great. Maybe a boil, in a soup...

Have been listening to Andrew Bird and hulling the Pink-eyed Peas, and plan to cook something up here shortly (experiment).


Wish I hadn't eaten dinner already... And I certainly need to learn to make cornbread. Should have bought that cast iron back when...

Yum.
