Sunday Salon ~ friends, books, and okra

Out-of-town visitors

My friend Ginny visited me at the end of May, bringing along her sister Bunny.  Although she lives in Florida, Ginny figured out how to come through St. Louis on her way to Pennsylvania.  Makes sense, doesn't it, driving from Florida to Missouri to get to Pennsylvania?  Okay, it's not exactly a direct route from one to the other, but I enjoyed their short visit.  I forgot to take pictures, but Ginny sent me this photo taken a couple of days later by Bunny's son.

Okra

If okra does even half what this article promises, I'd say it's a good thing.  The chart above is from a different site, and this photo of oven-fried okra is from a third site.  I love fried okra, which isn't very heart-healthy.  Baked in the oven sounds okay.

    How wonderful that your friends took a detour on their trip to see you!

    Ginny came from Florida, but she had to come through some of the intervening states to pick up her sister. So it wasn't QUITE the big detour I jokingly made it. But yes, it was wonderful they took the detour they did to come visit me. I really enjoyed seeing them.
