okra with no aitch
Sunday, July 8th, 2018 12:40 amThings I learned about okra from its Wikipedia page:
There's a red variety, which tastes the same as the green one.
The leaves can be cooked and eaten like other greens.
"Okra seeds may be roasted and ground to form a caffeine-free substitute for coffee."
An oil can be pressed from the seeds.
In case you're bored, here's a funny little story (not at all about okra) I came across after reading one about okra:
Mr. Mathrubootham is exasperated with national stupidity
(In sharing that story, I don't mean to make fun of India, as I think just as many people here in the U.S. and elsewhere are fascinated by those kind of videos.)
.
Lately Google Maps shows location balloons for hotels when I search on places, so that I can hardly find what I'm looking for, because of the balloons and hotel text covering the map. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable that layer in the options somewhere? I'm viewing it on a computer, not on a phone.
