I made sun dried tomato basil shrimp and Caesar salad.
Yes I made my own marinade and dressing. Shop bought dressing is lazy.

Lunch was just Steak with Okra and Lemon.

Supper has too many ingredients to list from the phone, but basically it's rice with chinese sauces, oil, tofu and whatever vegetables the Asian store had fresh. I usually add kidney beans in there with the rice, as well but did not do so today (it's better to add them beans in, though).

Any tips on cooking okra so it isn't slimy? I like the taste of it but not the texture. I've looked at Jamie tips etc but would rather know it from someone I interact with.

I love Okra! I always have to travel to specific Indian/African Foodstores but it's so worth it. It Iastes so nice and most most iantly it sits really well in the stomach.

The way I always did it was washing the pieces first, then you cut them up into pieces (don't make them too short, they need to be lying on the green outside in the pan), then heat oil, not too much, and insert ihe Okra. G
them proper heat, best if they get brown spots (like a piece of meat would from the heat) and become a bit soft. By then I usually get impatient and have to eat them :)

--> Okra with Cheese is the 'healthy' Mac&Cheese ! ;) great breakfast

sorry for the many autocorrect mistakes, my phone does that...
I would say cut the pieces about a tiny bit shorter than an Inch (or, 2cm long).
The washing and the frying in oil magically makes the Okras not slimy somehow

Haha, you're fine. I understood. Cheers for the tip.

I like it in Gumbo but I can never really get the consistency right.

what about it doesn't she like? the taste? or also the slime part?
If so, a last thing you can do is take her to an Indian restaurant and order an Okra Curry (bhindi curry). That won't be slimy at all
