Jane HenegarWelcome to July and the month of picnics, never simply confined to the fourth day of the month. Today’s requests include whole fried okra, food that travels well for a picnic, Betty Taylor’s lemon chicken and any recipe that is do-able and not too obscure for a young man just beginning housekeeping.
Christine wrote, “I recently ate at The Public House restaurant and had whole fried okra. It was not fried in cornmeal. It was a light batter. I think I have heard of using cornstarch as a batter. Does anyone have a recipe for this?” We surely hope you do.
Here’s a reminder that we are hot on the trail of foods that travel well in the heat, one of which arrived today from Carolyn Alexander. Her recipe, a potato salad without mayonnaise, reminded me of a recipe I was wishing for this very afternoon: Betty Taylor’s lemon chicken. And remember too that there is a young man, just starting life as an adult, who needs some simple recipes for his initial foray into cooking.
NO-MAYO POTATO SALAD
