Real Quick..:)

Today I'm driving to Lubbock after I get off work at 4:00 or 5:00 this evening. With that, I'm going to give you a quick post and let you know I'll be writing a longer one on Monday full of lots of recipes that I brought back down!:)

For those of you who like okra... (I personally love it...but not so much the slimy texture. This recipe is a remedy for the slippery feel that is oh-so-unappetizing associated with okra.)
I made this the other day and it's really easy. I basically just experimented and it turned out well!! Sorry there are no measurements, I just guess as I go when I'm making something up.

1. Spray a skillet with olive oil spray.
2. Put the fresh okra in the skillet and spray the tops of them a little as well.
3. Sprinkle on a little (maybe a tsp or so) of sea salt, followed by some chili powder (maybe a couple tsp? It depends how much okra you're making. I'll say maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of the okra had chili powder on it), then put some worsteshire sauce in the pan as well (once again, it was roughly a Tbsp -- and it was the watery kind, not the thick kind).
4. Put on med-high (closer to med) heat and occasionally stir.
5. Have it on the stove for about 5 minutes. You can test one and see if it is to your liking as far as how much it is cooked and seasonings. Add seasoning as you wish:)


I also bought the vibram five finger shoes the other day! I'm really excited about them so I've been wearing them around the house before I take them on their first grass run!:) I know to take it slow though. Start with about 1/2 a mile on the grass for a week and slowly build up to three miles. Then I can take them to the road! It'll take months to get to trail running in them, but that's ok:) It's all worth it, especially if it helps out my plantar fasciitis. I'll post picures of them on Monday! They're pink and orange and I feel a little like a lizzard when I wear them, but I think this pair is as cute as they'll get:) Have a great weekend!!
