Sue, you should try fried okra if you want to learn to like it! A true Southern treat. 
I didn't make the okra tempura myself, but I actually did like it. I guess I like it if I can get past the usual slimy texture.

Cranberry walnut bread is in the machine. Glad I got inspired and retrieved it from the closet. Bread from the machine is a whole lot cheaper than bread at the store. And fresh with no preservatives.

As a rule I stay away from white potatoes too. However, yesterday my physician recommended I eat more baked potatoes to help with some deficiencies noted in my blood work. I was surprised. She also told me to add sunflower seeds, spinach, peanuts and brussel sprouts. I need more folate and magnesium. I'm not at a danger point yet but these recommendations should ward that off.

I got a small container of citrus quinoa salad at Fresh Market's deli yesterday. OMG -- YUM. I'll be going back today (I hope) for more. So good! It had almonds, orange bits, cranberries and I think cucumber bits as well. Very, very good.

^ Thanks, Deb! Just got back from buying the okra and the Andouille sausage, the only ingredients not in our pantry.
Can't wait to try it!

Bea showed me the proper way, and the gumbo is now happily simmering in the crock-pot.Sue, you should try fried okra if you want to learn to like it! A true Southern treat.
Thanks for the recipe, Deb.

one of my more recent favorites is pasta carbonara with prosciutto and peas.
sneaking suspicion I didn't lose any weight today.

^^ I probably will not be losing any weight after last night's dinner. We had filet mignon shiskabob with mushrooms, red peppers and red onion. It was quite delish along with a caesar salad. Bypassed dessert, but +1 had a small piece of truffle cake. We'd grown weary of fish and chicken and it was a nice departure from the norm.

Went up the street to a popular Asian place last night to watch the Caps hockey game and have dinner. We had the chicken satay, then the +1 had Vietnamese grilled pork and I had a couple of pork sticky buns. For dessert, we had a fried banana dish with honey and coconut. Everything was delish!! And I had a mangotini - also delish.
