Making Fried Okra Is Easy

 
 

Last night, with a bag of okra flirting with decomposition in the icebox, I decided to attempt to cook one of my favorite foods. Even if it didn't turn out, at least I would have both tried, and prevented the okra from being a total waste. I found a recipe on the web and to my surprise, the instructions were mighty simple:

1. Wash okra
2. Cut okra into bite size pieces
3. Put okra in a bowl and salt generously
4. Pour ice water into the bowl and soak for at least an hour
5. Drain
6. Coat in corn meal seasoned with salt and pepper
7. Heat oil in a pan (enough to form at least an 1/8 inch layer, I like canola for frying)
8. Fry until golden brown, making sure the okra doesn't stick
9. Remove from pan with a spatula, and place on a paper towels or a brown paper bag
10. Eat

 
 

I couldn't believe it, but this okra came out perfectly. I plan to cook it again and again and again...let the weight-gain commence.

    My friend used to simmer butter with some weed in a crock pot on low for maybe an hour so it infused nicely. Then she would use it to bake up savory muffins or corn muffins. oh-my how delicious.

    has the best fried okra I've had of any Albuquerque restaurant. But you're right, that recipe is astonishingly easy ... maybe I'll give it a spin at my next Hambuger Hut potluck.

  • thc is fat soluble, which is why many a stoner simmers la yerba buena in butter before applying  [ Wed May 23 2007 8:06 AM ]

    since the only real danger of la mota, is the smoke itself. you all should try eating a bit. for beginners here´s a nice recipe: take just the right amount you would use for spooling up a nice doobie, put it on top of a pad of butter in a fry pan on low heat, let it simmer away, then sop up the whole thing up with bread. now you got a clean pan and a foot in the door on a monster buzz, just beware: eating weed takes longer to kick in (so don´t start eating more when you haven´t felt a buzz yet) and remember that eating makes the late-coming buzz last longer with much larger thundering-of-the-hooves element. this is rated as intermediate-advanced but is well worth it--making reefer into a hard-hitting drug which will earn your respect. try it and get mota-vated!

  • How did my innocent okra blog turn into a forum on cooking with drugs?  [ Wed May 23 2007 12:03 PM ]

    Oh, well. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, as they say. Here's The Stanger's hilarious article on the matter, "I Can't Believe It's Pot Butter": [link]

    As they warn, "(Do not do this. Marijuana is illegal. For entertainment purposes only.)"

  • Pot Shots...  [ Thu May 24 2007 10:47 PM ]

    Check this out: I made jello shots for a party last week, right. They were red jello with vodka. I called them communism shots. But...I also made a secret batch of "pot shots" or "green goblin" shots. You take lime jello, vodka and approx. one tablespoon of special tobacco. The shots were beautiful, and flecked with ganja goodness. The bf ate one, and his eyes were dilated for like an hour. My headache went away, too.

    debaser? you don't hack on a daily basis from smoking pot? I mean aside from when you're actually inhaling it. be honest.

  • Flinch, I must 2nd debaser...  [ Fri May 25 2007 12:38 PM ]

    While I don't use so much anymore, in my heavier days I never had that hacking cough that I had when I smoked tobacco--that nasty legal shit that kills thousands of people every year.

    Now I just get Sasha to blow it in my ear.
