Thanks. I'm not particularly wild about it, but Rob likes it. Now, if
he'd just remember to eat it even if I DON'T put it in front of him.
It'll keep forever in the fridge. I'll be curious to know how it
freezes. Gack. Glad your knuckle's intact.
Your supper sounds great. I want some okra and haven't seen any at the
markets.

I grilled that marinated flank steak thing I do -- I had this amazing
fire in my grill! Holy sh**!! Tomorrow I'll take it apart some and
see what went on. I don't understand the flames -- the flank is lean
and I scrape off the marinating mixture before grilling it. Gotta admit
I was breathing fast until I threw a couple glasses of water at it. Had
locally grown broccoli, corn on the cob, and for me, some tomatoes and
red onion with some Cincinnati Italian dressing poured over, along with
some pesto I made yesterday.
