Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Well, I must confess that I do not like this dish because I am not a fan of okra. But, most other people seem to love it.

When we were younger, the okra my mother used was large and fuzzy. The one she uses now is small and much more tasty (but I still hate this meal). This is another meal that can be eaten like a stew and does not need other dishes to supplement it.
