Fried Okra

I'm a southern girl through and through, and I LOVE fried okra. It is one of my very favorite southern foods. I missed eating it so much during my two years in the Great White North. Now that I am back in the south, I have had it a couple of times at Cracker Barrel or other such places, but I decided that I couldn't call myself a true southerner if I had never made it myself. They had some at the grocery store the other day, so I got some, hoping to have a successful attempt at cooking this fabulous food. I was so proud of myself that my first try came out so well. Here is picture proof!!

I will definitely be making this again! And I am excited that I have added this southern delicacy to my cooking repertoire.

In other news, I have a temp job! It should last for a few weeks, and while it might not be permanent, it's still a step in the right direction. I am working in an HR office, helping them with their recruitment, and I think I am going to enjoy it a lot. I worked half a day on Friday, but starting Monday, I'll be doing the 8 hour a day thing again for the first time in awhile. It'll be good to get in a bit of a routine. I'll keep you posted on all of the happenings. For now, have a great weekend!
