Fresh Veggies
 

I'm not a vegan by any means, but ain't nothing better than fresh okry, 'maters, corn, squash, and don't forget purpahurl peas!

I agree. Throw a big mess of greens in with it and man you are set. Fry a little cucumber and eat away. Of coarse the maters got to be cold.

Too many veggies........:throwup:

Never to many veggies. I like to eat okra till my socks wont stay up :laugh:

Fried cucumber - now that's interesting. I've always thought of myself as a country girl - I love veggies - fresh & cooked. And being from the south, well everything gets battered & dipped in hot oil at some point.

The cucumbers are new to me though. I like them raw with salt, pepper, and little mayo in a sandwich. Nice, cool refreshing summer lunch! Same with tomatoes - especially garden fresh. No hot house tomato will do. Oh, and the tomatoes need to be room temp - not refrigerated!

Who's got a garden??

Did someone ask about a garden ? ;) I have 32 tomatoes and four rows of Okrie and cucumbers and peppers all you can eat. Deer meat in the freezer and fresh fish too. Thank God I am a country boy :clap: see ya at the dinner table.

Good to know which garden to raid this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fried cucumbers? That's a first for me as well. I love fried eggplant though! Fresh tomatoes with salt and pepper! Fresh peas this summer! Can't wait for the fresh veggies, bring em on!:D

Yes ma'am!! I can do the fried eggplant and fresh peas as well!! That's good living!!

Hey fried cucumber is good. Just peel it, slice it, salt and pepper, flour then deep fry. If you ever had fried green tomatoes [my favorite] they have an acidity taste. But fried cucumber has a sweeter taste. They won't give you indigestion. Try them

I will try them for sure. I like fried green tomatoes :D I think you could fry just about anything and it would taste good :laugh:

I do. I have only missed a couple of years since the 80's. I grow tomatoes and peppers mainly. This year I'm also growing two eggplants and my daughter is growing a peanut plant for fun.

How about these Tommy Toes
 

These girls already have green tomato's :D do not get caught crossing my fence to try to fry those babies they must be red to eat :laugh:

Hanging Gardens in Ancient Babylon
 

This was the first square foot garden done by Sargon in Ancient Babylon !
Gilgamesh would follow Sargon of Akkad and they would grow everything from rose buds to hanging gardens ;)
Just a note here that Saddam tried to rebuild these and well it did not work out so good for him :rolleyes:

In one more month you will not be able to see the baskets at all :D Then maybe I will give you some green tomatoes but you have to cook me some too :laugh:

Okey- Dokey

okry
 

Isaac, Do you have any okry? If so let's see a picture. Mine's about 2". After this rain it will take off.

I gots the okrie but like yours about 2" tall but I got the weeds out two days ago and blue juice too and now rain so stand by and I will have photos in about a week. Got test your oakrie.

oakry
 

I threw a pot of boiled okra out for the dogs the other night, and sweetkin, my female took it down so fast and smooth, she thought the other dog got it and laid into him.:laugh:

Lookin' Good!! :) Lots of yellow flowers.... I agree, fried green tomatos are for impatient people! ;)

Hey, we have talked about tomatoes, peas and okrie but what about a good mess of butter beans and a hot pon of cornbread. Soak some cucumbers in vinager with a little salt, pepper and onions or a jar of homemade bread and butter pickles. Sometimes we have pickled squash that is good with the peas or beans.

Wow, I'm a square foot gardener! I was a Mel Bartholomew fan wayyyy back in the old days... (but not that old)

Madaam, you are truly speaking Louisiana... Please don't forget pickled green tomato relish. I wish I could go back in time with a camcorder and video my grandmother cooking hot water cornbread or making yeast rolls. Not to mention fried apple pies and green tomato relish. Did I mention green tomato relish?? :)

Yes, Lest us not to forget a good jar of chowchow or some pickled okrie. I believe in pickling everything I can. Homade jams and jellies to pickles. My son grew up on homemade kosher dill pickles. Hewould eat 5 to 6 cases a winter. My grandson now loves homemade pumkin pie. I fix 27 pies in the freezer in October but he had ate by Christmas. My son and I love bananna pudding. Uhmmm.

Umm Banana puddin sounds good right now!!! I love me some homemade ice cream during the summer. Mr. Belle's is the best. :D

Homemade peach ice cream.. wow, that brings back some memories of rock salt and benting spoons on the leftovers in the freezer.

Banana pudding with nilla vanilla wafers.... Oh man.....

from Na-Bis-Co! Yeah!

If you want me to eat cornbread, wrap it around a hotdog and put a stick through it. :p

let's really show our age: glass of cornbread and buttermilk as a snack:clap:

nasty :yuck:

okay, we'll do sweet milk and cornbread :)

That joke is down right corny!! yuck yuck yuck... :D

That is no joke. Many older people was raised on that. Mt dad is 75 and still loves a glass of milk and cornbread.

I was talking about anime's post. Corny? Corn dog, get it?

Yes, you know some folks don't know what eating is.

I can see using buttermilk to cook with but for Isaac no butter milk. Now buttermilk is not a veggie but cornbread is and I love cornbread is great with lady cream peas and dipping in pot liquor add a few onions and then get to sleep on the couch :laugh:

My all time favorite is a big pan of homemade biquits and a pot of tomato gravy. A meal in itself. Sop that gravy with chunks of tomato in it. Make you want to slap yo'mama.

Sounds like a good meal to me what time will you have it ready ? :D

Now knowing the diet of many of the avatars I'm recommending seeing your respective physicians for fasting lipids and glucose testing! The veggies sound great though....:) We southerners know how to kill ourselves with fried food!

Thank you for your concern but my glucose is fine. I had mine checked. I just like good food. It's better than fast food.
