I have never seen Scream. I don't like horror movies.

Bill Maher is annoying but I don't watch his show.

I've never been to band camp--I played piano.

I have no opinion about John Sheppard's sexuality.

Fried okra is okay if I'm at my Grandma's house and she's the cook who fried it. She died 35 years ago so it's been awhile since I've eaten okra.

Bill Maher is one of those people who I often agree with but who is too much an asshole a lot of the times. I watch his show; he gets really good guests, and I think the conversation is interesting a lot of the time.

I hear ya re: the cook. I really only like the fried okra my daddy does.

Your Parents' Tax Dollars at Work

A long time ago, I worked for a company that translated things into Plain English, and the company bid on a contract for the IRS. This included a side trip to IRS headquarters, where we had lunch at the cafeteria. They served AMAZING fried okra--sliced from tiny pods--in little waxed paper envelopes. That has been my gold standard for fried okra ever since.

I have seen it alleged that if you are stewing okra or making a gumbo or a curry, you can keep down the slime factor by only removing the stem from the pod, leaving the cap intact so the seeds don't gloop out.

The gold standard memory of a food--so precious. :)

I have to admit that I don't cook okra so I don't really know how to do it in such a way that minimizes the slime factor.
