I never squeeze the excess water out of the veggies. I know it says to do that. But I like my cake all moist, so I skip that part.

This sounds really excellent. You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl, and to this day, ochra remains one of my favorite veggies. Unfortunately, I don't accumulate ochra like I do bananas.

[thewatchbreaker]

Born in Florida. Raised in Atlanta. Moved, kicking and screaming, to MN at the tender age of 13. Still miss the sunshine and the fried ochra. No so much the whole Southerness of it all.

I must be the only person who hasn't had slimy okra. Either that or I'm immune to it.

LOL. You can count it as another blessing that your ochra never feels slimy in your mouth.
