Southerners eat Dinner at mid-day. We have Supper in the evening! Lunch is something that gets stuffed in a bag or in a "Lunch Box" for those times when ya can't get to the table for Dinner.....

Love fried okrie!!!!!! Used to grow in my garden in Alabama. It ate me up picking and cutting up. Then had to get the cornmeal and scrub hands, arms and face with it to quit the stinging!!!!!!! Now just buy frozen for my gumbo.

Thanks for this recipe for fried okra!
It sounds like what my Mother use to make,
using buttermilk in the batter...
I'm a Southern Gal, at heart, transplanted
