Phillip, not only looks wonderful but sounds delicious. Love okra but have not grown it in our vegetable garden... brings back many fond memories of living back east. Tell Michael he can whip some up for us anytime. :)
ReplyDeleteHe did learn to cook...just like my granny used to make! Yumm....good stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful plate of food and I know it tasted even better than it looks, somehow.
ReplyDeleteI love all your fiesta dishes. So pretty. Are they new?
Now I know why you love Michael so much, it is his cooking. YUMMMMMM I can't bake much of anything but I can make a mean dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteDoes that look fabulous!! I just had 'Southern' today, LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the sort of stuff my Grandma in Arkansas used to make! My family roots are Southern on both sides, and I do love the cookin' down yonder.
ReplyDeleteThis plate envies Paula Deen's and I know...I ate at her restaurant. Now all you need is a glass of sweet tea. I put a sprig of mint in mine..have you tried that? I also stole that idea from PD. Looks dee-licious!
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm mmmm! That looks delicious, but I'm not surprised. He always cooked delcious food when I was there.
ReplyDeleteFresh mint tea and fresh lemonade mixed half and half. Mary
ReplyDeleteLooks like a heart attack on a plate, but what a wonderful way to go!
