And TikiBar Security to boot!
I don't really think I need to police this crowd, except for maybe when the pirates drop in. Moonie wasn't too thrilled with being made to walk the plank and she can hold a grudge. :biggrin:

College campus security, swing shift. The campus was pretty much closed but we have dorms and the dorm students are still here. Also plenty of expensive equipment in the computer labs. So we're here 24/7, 365 days a year.
Oh, that's right, you told us that once before. I just forgot.

I like fried okra, and would have the same problem if it just sat there, I'd keep eating. How's your house and electric doing since that storm?

No, the veggie isn't snot-like, just the slime it creates when you cook it. :biggrin: Actually, if you cook it long enough, the sliminess goes away and it's very tasty. It's good for thickening gumbo too. :approve:

Aww. Was that the first time you ever saw it? Or had you already decided you didn't like it? The first time I had it, it was fried, and I didn't even know what it was, it was on a buffet when I was a kid and we took a family trip to the south. I loved it and couldn't get enough; kept going back for more. It only took me about another 20 years to rediscover it, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was what I loved eating at that buffet. Hmm...maybe I should go fry me up some okra now. :approve:

I've had decent okra and I don't mind it in gumbo. I just don't care for the fried stuff. Maybe it's just because my grandmother is a terrible cook.

I don't think you can do much to ruin fried okra unless it's burnt. That's okay, if you don't like it fried, you'll be all the healthier for it.
