![]() ![]() In short, we’re buckling up for a season unlike any in recent memory. Most of the Holiday Shop bibelots are limited in number and the current global situation (it sounds so James Bond-y!) virtually guarantees that it will be almost impossible to restock for the holidays in any sort of useful timeframe (there are also already dire warnings from all the shipping companies-including the USPS-about increased rates and slowed-down delivery times, so get your items ordered by December 15 (it’s sooner than you think, so put that in BIG LETTERS on your dog and cat calendars!). Supply chain issues are a real thing and they will play heavily into this holiday season-for us here at MDK and for you out there with your fingers paused over the “Complete Order” button if we don’t have it, we can’t send it to you.Īnd look: we’re not trying to create too much FOMO, but if you see something in the Holiday Shop that you love and want in your life, don’t sleep on it too long or you will MO. We at MDK HQ have been awaiting some geegaws for the looming MDK Holiday Shop launch (THIS COMING Saturday, October 30 for Snippets subscribers!) and to be honest, there are a few items that are going to miss the boat (or more specifically: are still on the boat). I bring this up because the preserved cucumber supply chain isn’t the only one that’s got some weak links in it these days. I used my phone to Ask Jeeves and found out that there’s a quite significant glass bottle and jar shortage that’s already trickled down to my crucial needs. Two more grocery stores later, though, and I was still empty-handed: no bougie pickles, no hipster bubbly water. ![]() My local grocery store isn’t the best grocery store in the world (which, if you have met me in real life, you know already since all I’ve done for twenty years is complain about it), so it wasn’t a complete surprise that they had neither. *The oil in this dish could easily be left out and the onion and pepper could be parboiled in broth making this an FP dish.I stopped at the grocery store earlier this week and there were only two things on my list: Clausen pickles and Topo Chico. As a side dish a 1 cup serving is plenty so you will have 4.53 carbs in one serving of this recipe. 14.12 total plus 4 net carbs gives you a total of 18.12 carbs. This dish contains 2 total cups of tomatoes which is 14.12 plus one half of a medium onion contains 4 net cabs. 1) Tomatoes are considered fp in moderation but with 1 cup having 7.06 grams of carbs the serving size does need to be considered. In case you’re unfamiliar with it, Creole is usually a milder version of Cajun cooking spice wise, but just as flavorful. From my husband “You know I’m not a fan of okra, but that was good!” Then from my daughter I got, “That was the least slimy okra I’ve ever eaten.” – That’s because it isn’t at all slimy in this dish! All okra comments from the peanut gallery aside this dish is a really tasty Creole side. I served this to my a couple of my toughest okra critics and got better reviews than I expected, what with their negative bias against my beloved okra.

I know that isn’t the case everywhere so here is the basic version of this dish and it is as good a recipe as I have eaten in any restaurant. Although it is a favorite of mine I have really never made it a lot in the past, because it is just so accessible around here. I don’t know about the rest of the country, but here in East Texas just an hour West of Louisiana, if you go into a diner with a steam table or family style eating you will typically find some version of this Creole Style Stewed Okra and Tomatoes. I’m just sorry I didn’t weigh in on this one earlier since I’ve been a lifelong okra fan even back when okra wasn’t cool :). Since I know you’re all anxiously awaiting the next OKRA recipe here’s my contribution in the form of Creole Style Stewed Okra And Tomatoes. ![]()
