Okra is only meant to be fried....

Amen!

Okra is only meant to be fried....

My wife, who is from Texas, likes it that way. Meh. I like it boiled and slimey in black eyed peas or cooked until it comes apart in gumbo.

I love it fried, love it pickled, love it in gumbo. I have had it raw, which is. . . ok. I also had it mixed with squid in sushi.

Anything is good fried, okra has a diverse set of skills.

Phone Caller: "Yes, I'm trying to reach Joe Q. Public. Can you give me his phone number?"
Me: "Your name and your purpose for wanting Mr. Public's phone number?"
Phone Caller: "Yes I'm So&So and I have an appointment with him."
Me: "Okay, his number is"
Phone Caller: "Wait a second, I need to get some paper and a pen . . . . ."

Sure, if you like sweeteners and preservatives in your sauce.

Peppers + salt + vinegar = Tabasco. Simple, beautiful, exquisite.

You can keep your xantham gum and MSG.

Ingredient listing for Crystal Hot Sauce: Cayenne peppers, vinegar, salt.

I'm glad you caught that.

And, to be fair, I dont dislike Crystal. But it doesn't seem to have the astringent "bite" that I enjoy about Tabasco.

[Dawgpix]

Our biggest games/accomplishments as an athletics program is the quarter system!!

Fixed it for you.

what is the point of having nba games on the fox regional networks if they are always blacked out? does anyone actually get to see an nba game that is broadcast on a regional sports channel? if so, who?

UAB men's basketball lost it's last two regular season games - 1st loss to then 1-15 Florida Atlantic and then to FIU in the 2nd game of the south Florida trip. Florida Atlantic had lost 11 straight until the UAB Blazers came to town.

Some of you reading this may wonder why 2 UAB losses peeve me. Read the basketball forum to see how just one win on the trip would have changed Tech's tournament schedule.

A C-USA school that doesn't understand winning in football also doesn't seem to understand winning in basketball. They could have finished as high as #2 seed for the C-USA tournament, but they lose the 2 Florida games and finished as the 4th seed. Maybe their president should also get rid of basketball.

I put this on the peeve of the day thread even though this peeve is now in it's 3rd day. I won't be over it until Saturday afternoon when the Bulldogs raise the trophy.
