I just got back from my second gym session this week.

On the positive side, that is already a fifty percent increase over last week!

On the negative side, it was a leg day and my goodness it hurts.

I should probably have taken it a little easier.

But the most amazing feat is that Steemfat3 is getting some traction.

I can feel it.

What also helped was the meal Bianca and I had today.

Ever since I met her I have been introduced to some amazing new food.

Okra is one of them and probably one of the more bizarre ones. (remember: I grew up with potatoes and mostly spinach, my sister wouldn't eat anything else)

It's delicious but it has this slight slimy property that I find really interesting :)

Let's cook!

Ingredients: Okra, rice, ground beef, garlic and a red onion. (beans not in the pic).

Cut the garlic and onions and put them in a skillet with a little oil and salt. This blue skillet I bought second hand online about 2 years ago. It's one of my favorite pans. It's cast-iron. Will last a lifetime. No reason to buy one new.

After a couple of minutes add the ground beef and brown it.

While the beef is cooking cut the Okra. Take off the top and cut in small rings.

When you are done, it looks like this.

Add the okra to the pot and cook and stir it for at least 15 minutes.

End Result: Ever since I tasted Okra for the first time not long ago I love it. Especially prepared in this way. It's flavorful and it has this cool texture with some sliminess (I don't how to word this so it sounds better). We added rice and beans to the dish. It's simple, yet healthy and yummy.
