Im still hiding in my room, scared mom will show up and tell me I have to atleast try Grandma's carrot jello. And Grandma's been dead since 95! Yes I still have nightmares about it. 🤣

Along with fruitcakes, and those macaroni salads with unrecognizable, multi colored, chopped up stuff mixed in.

All the shit they covered in saran wrap, or put in cool whip containers, and tried to send you home with because, "you're too skinny".

My mom had a killer recipe for chex mix. All the good cereals, peanuts, minimal pretzels, lots of butter and Worchestershire sauce, and seasonings, with a bit of pepper heat. 

She brought a lot of it to holiday gatherings, and it would go quick, usually long before the actual dinner. Leaving the other weak mixes sitting there to be eaten last.

She never wrote it down.

And after she passed, I thoroughly scoured her recipes for it.

Only thing I found was her 7up cake, and fried okra recipe's that she kept secret. (Add a little sugar to the batter to make the okra crispy)

Yes, small pineapple chunks with a light grading of carrot. You put it in the Jello when it’s  liquefied. 💯👍🏻

There's a reason you see this at every funeral meal.🙃

Crispy fried okra is one of my guilty pleasures. Not very easy to find.

They make great wheel chocks for your trailer.

So I guess you're right.

I’ve never tried or even seen okra before. Is it a Southern thing?

You have my sympathies. 

It's a southern staple. 

But we ate a lot of it growing up in San Diego county. 

 

Gotta pick the small tender pods. 

Leave the bigger ones to seed. 

Then a corn meal batter fried in lard.

A little ketchup, and I could eat it for dessert.

Primarily, yes. I think you would really like it. Give me some crispy friend okra and a bottle of hot sauce and I'm one happy camper!

Get to it! Get to tryin' different mixes and ratios and "Get'er done!"

WE WANT ANSWERS 🤣

Seriously, gettin' that figured out would be awesome. I've had this type of mix before and it is wonderful.

I've tried to replicate it. 

I seem to remember, season salt, a bit of lawry's taco seasoning, lots of butter and Worchestershire sauce. I'd bet a bit of brown sugar. A crapshoot as to the ratios.

Corn, rice, and wheat chex.

Kix.

Cheerios. 

Peanuts. 

A few pretzel sticks broken up into little pieces.

My Dad and Uncle swapped exact same fruitcake back and forth at Christmas for years. It never changed in appearance…. Eventually, they took to gifting each other ordinary bricks painted gold——every year. 🤣

Anyone a member of the Jelly of the Month club?

That’s a gift that keeps on giving the whole year.

For me, at it's best okra is the inert/bland/tasteless carrier for a seasoned breading and/or sauce.  

Most of the time, though, it's a bitter weed that I hope to never have to encounter again in my life!!!!

My dad liked it, but coming from a VERY poor family it was just something that he had to like or go hungry I think.

Kenny’s quickly working towards the first food-related time out. Probably thinks candy corn is the best Halloween treat. Blasphemy!
