Lisa's story
Ok, so I now realize that I don't really care for okra. I tried out a nice recipe and I think I did it correctly, but okra doesn't have a lot of flavor and it has a fibrous core. Oh, well, I will try out the same recipe with another vegetable. On the bright side, I made a tangy chickpea stew and some yummy pilau rice. Oh, so good. What can we say about this rice: it was amazing, you can put anything in it (Michael ate it for dinner with scrambled eggs).

I ate the leftover gluten free experimental breads from yesterday for breakfast. And I had the red lentil dal for lunch. I ordered a nice spice box from Amazon; should be here later this week.


Michael's story
OK, so when we used to live in Orange County the topic of Okra came up once. I told Lisa I didn't like it - it get's oily. Well, this followed me for 15 years. When Lisa found out G. Ramsay had an Okra recipe in his book and that he did not care much for Okra either this didn't do much to further my case. 15 years later, one failed tasting experience, and now I feel slightly redeemed. Okra is in my opinion "not good eats." You can quote me on that one.
