Re: Garden(ing)
gotcha, yeah my breading would be lighter, because we don't own a deep fryer, so I fry it in oil on the pan. Probably what your mom does. the thicker, more consistent breading is usually a sign of being cooked in a deep fryer.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:i mean as opposed to it being deep friedE.H.

Re: Garden(ing)
have you experimented with an okra ice cream flavor?tragabigzanda wrote:We do fried okra in our house, and it's taken a while to perfect it. A couple tips:
-If you want to lose the slimy stuff, first sauté the okra in a pan with a lid on it. After a couple minutes, throw in 1-2 Tbsp of water, then put the lid back on for another 1-2 minutes. This will get all the slime off.
-If you're looking for a full breaded fry, rather than just a little, the key is to submerge in a high-temp oil (peanut or veg). You're aiming for 350-400F, so olive oil or blends will smoke before you get your oil hot enough.

Re: Garden(ing)
It’s probably time to start thinking about building a space for a garden in my back yard for next spring. Not too big. Two or three rows for tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Fenced off so the dog can’t get to it.
I don’t know where to begin with soil. I have the space to make rows in the ground, but I’m wondering if building planter boxes would be easier to maintain?
