the fresh okra at the grocery store looked so good it jumped in my cart.
after i got home i remembered i don't even know how
to make the fried okra i was dreaming about,
so we improvised with what was already in the pantry.
it turned out too good (and too easy) not to share.

bread crumbs (or cornmeal)
