Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Monsters Theme


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  I did Frankenstein for our 'Fictional Monsters' theme!

For the dinner date, I made some okra.  I cut the ends off and sauteed them in oil salt, pepper, thyme with onions, garlic and tomatoes.  Then I simmered them covered for 15-20 minutes.  I know not everyone is an okra lover, but I am.

    LOL, tomorrow I have a Munster, too (for FFO).
    I have never had okra! I´ve never seen it here! Wonder how they taste like!

    Oh..a very green post! Yes, I'm an okra lover too! But it is hard to get it here fresh. I have never had it this way. I do make an okra gumbo and of course, we love it in a batter fried too. I roasted green beans in the airfryer last night and love them. However, my hubby did not. I would like to do that with Okra. Happy Thursday! Awesome art too!

    Iris, some like okra, some don't! They can have a slimy taste, are good in soups too. I think the flavourings are important.

    I like okra but we seldom eat it because no one else likes it!

    Your monster is a cute one. Don't think I've ever had okra on it's own.

    Oh such a pleasant face for a monster ... well done, Christine. I love Okra, but rarely fix it mainly because I don't have any good recipes for it ... but now I do, Thank you, my friend :)

    I love your monster Christine, so well done! I've never tried okra. I'm one of those people who hates a vegetable even if I've never tried it lol...
