OKRA, TOMATOES, AND BACON
I love Southern food, and okra is no exception. During the summer, when okra can be bought fresh in farmer's markets in Texas, I love purchasing bunches of the stuff and making this dish.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used bacon that was already pretty salty. Next time, I'll use a milder bacon or reduce the amount of salt I add.
