I don't know how much lemon juice, but that acid will cut the sliminess and make it good. he agreed - okra is good, but boiled is vile.

Makes me want to head down to Son's Place and grab some with a couple of pieces of fried chicken, a side of collard greens, some cornbread and sweet tea. Perhaps even some banana pudding for dessert.

As a southerner, fried okra is a staple of almost every meal. Some people to eat boiled okra but only as some sort of punishment. It's terrible disgusting that way. Fried, though? OMG SO GOOD. LOVE. I have it about once a week. :) Oh, and yes it is totally the dog days of summer. Cranky, tired, disinterested...all of it. OK, let me just focus on the okra for a minute.

I think that's why it's good in gumbo, because it thickens the broth or something? Gross. Anyway, fried = no sludge. I swear. Alton Brown says so, too: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/dry-fried-okra-recipe/index.html I also mixed in some banana peppers. Mmmmm.
