Personal Notes:
Believe it or not, there was a time when airlines used to serve actual meals on long flights. The wonderful smells would fill the cabin as the flight attendants heated the meals to serve. This recipe was printed on a little card that came with my lunch, compliments of USAir on one of our many trips. Neatly arranged on the tray was this soup in a covered soup bowl, a sandwich, an apple and a cookie, with REAL silverware. I had never had okra before, but I fell in love with it's silky feel in your mouth. The stewardess told me it's a natural thickener. I hope you'll give it a try. Easy and delicious.
