ROASTED OKRA
As a good Southern gardener, I find myself bringing in okra by the armload nearly every other day. Stewed okra is great, but for a little variety, we like to roast ours from time to time. This is so simple and easy and the okra tends to not be nearly as gummy or slimy when roasted. Chopped tomato makes a great addition when we have some handy.

BOILED OKRA
In a 1930's cook book a mention on how southern cooks kept the "slime" off of okra. I tried it and man-oh-man! Tis good!
