Hi Janis,

 JK> Hmm.. I can't imagine what it might be.. "slimy"? I give up :) :) It's

His nick name for okra is "snot pods". Appropriate--yes, only in certain
methods of cooking however.

I know, we do the major food run once a month as that's how Steve gets
paid. We do run out for bananas and other small stuff as needed but I
try to get the month's worth in one outing.  May have to take another
day to hit up other than commissary stores tho; depends on how tired I
am when we're done at the commissary.

Yes, very scary for the kids. We don't eat as much beef as we used to
and most of what we do buy is not the ground.  As is, we can't give
blood as we were in Europe in the 80s & 90s & they don't know how long
the mad cow virus stays dormant in the human body.

 JK> I'm surprised I don't remember it.. I really enjoy Duval's work and

It is well worh finding if you can.  Maybe Amazon has it.
