johnsbrewhouse I get it. I’ve tried Okra and Eggplant other ways, but fried is the only way I can do them. The exception for Okra is in good Gumbo or other Cajun/Creole dish. The Okra was soaked in Buttermilk, then dipped in a mix of cornmeal, flour, black pepper, sea salt and smoked paprika. The eggplant was pealed and sliced, soaked in an egg wash with buttermilk and dipped in Panko crumbs mixed with Slap Yo Mama fish fry mix. I had a wonderful southern Mom from the Great State of Tennessee. She taught me well.
GWG8541 My wife spent a lot of time in Georgia as well as my father in law being born and raised there thus their love of okra and eggplant. My mom and dad came from the NE so we never had to eat the stuff. I grew okra for her one year, ugly plant, beautiful flowers, doesn’t like the cool wet weather of Western Washington (might like this years hot weather). I spent more time in Texas and Hawaii, so I eat other types of veggies. Mom was a dietician, so we were well rounded in our eating.

johnsbrewhouse Okra is definitely a hot weather plant. It has some great nutritional value, but you have to pick it as soon as the pod gets about 3 to 4 inches. If you wait too long it get to tough to eat. Its a tricky crop for sure.

Grimpuppy now that looks tasty. I haven’t had a good corn dog in a long time. It would definitely be satisfying and taste better for sure.

Grimpuppy Homemade corn dogs are the best and the obnoxiously large ones you get at fairs/rodeos, etc.

For those of you dieting, close your eyes. I put a smoked and peppered pork tenderloin on the pellet grill. Thats the healthy part, but then fried up okra and egg plant from the garden, and since the fryer was already on, I also made some homemade French fries. Ill walk a little extra tomorrow.
GWG8541 Great looking meal. My eggplant and okra are about ready. Can’t wait to have some fresh from the garden.

Grimpuppy wow! Those look great!!!
-
Grimpuppy Always satisfying about knowing that YOU created them in total. My mouth is watering because I haven’t had them in years.
-
Grimpuppy home made corn dogs from home made hot dogs, oh yeah that’s going on my bucket list! looking good

That looks good. I make that same pasta dish but with tomato sauce. You have a recipe you would part with for the white sauce?

Grimpuppy this is what I use for white sauce
2T butter
2T flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups milk
melt butter slowly. Shake milk and flour together in a container then stir into melted butter. Continue stirring to a boil. For cheese sauce add 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Also, I always add some garlic powder to taste. I use this recipe as a base for almost everything. Scalloped potatoes and ham, biscuits and gravy, s**t on a shingle.
