Bite Notes

• Alton Brown’s Pickled Okra from Good Eats is a great recipe for preserving the harvest.
• Roasting okra and tomatoes reduces the slime factor of stewed okra and tomatoes. Find the recipe in Mississippi Vegan: Recipes and Stories from a Southern Boy’s Heart.
•  Enjoy the Texas staple Cowboy Beans from The Homesick Texan’s Family Table: Lone Star Cooking from My Kitchen to Yours by Lisa Fain. Wash it down with an ice cold Dr. Pepper.
