...9.24...Gifts from 'Home'...

...Mom gave me a book she was finished with...50 Words for Rain...I'm looking forward to reading it...
...we got a few veggies...Mom said that the okra had done really well this year...so she gave us a big bag of that...
...she said the red ones don't stay red when you cook them though...they turn a darker green...
...so you know those are going straight into the Foreman Grill...
...they are so pretty...
...and then I got 5 bags of accidentally vegan vanilla wafers...they're the store brand from the grocery store near Mom's...I often make my own vegan vanilla wafers (using this veganized recipe) because vegan ones are so hard to find...

~Have a lovely day!

    1. Hi Karen,
      ...I'm still finishing up A Brief History of the Universe...and I have to read and re-read a lot of it so it's kind of slow going...but maybe by the weekend I'll get started...

  2. This is the second time today my blog friends are talking about okra. Margo from Thrift at Home was, too. I'm honestly not sure I've ever tried it. Now I want to! You also make me want to keep an eye out for a George Forman, too, I gotta say. I never realized the huge range of what a person could do with one of those, I guess.

  3. I would use my Seal-a-meal to vacuum some of those vanilla wafer bags and keep them fresher. (Of course I would need a 6 month supply....) Love, K

    1. Hi Éphée,
      ...I'm sure okra is an 'acquired taste'...I grew up eating it here in the south as it's very common here...my favorite way of having it is either fried or Foreman grilled with a sprinkling of cornmeal...all other ways of cooking it wind up too slimy for me...and I know that's not a nice word when it comes to food...haha...
