I love summer! Hate the heat, the humidity, and the bugs, but I love making supper out of whatever’s fresh, ya know?
So this because I had these:
Leftover rice, cherry tomatoes, okra, and a little Old Bay Seasoning. O.M.G. SO GOOD.
I can’t believe I hated okra for years and years and years. (Okay, and years — so I’m old — so sue me.) I’ve changed my tune, and now I luuuuurrrrrrv it! The tomatoes were from our plants; the okra was from the farmers market.
Ahhhh, summer!

August 3, 2017 at 8:12amYou are SO RIGHT! I miss our garden, but Charlie sez, why should he break his back when there are two farmers gardens in town? Point.
