This was so freaking delicious...Kate came over last night and we had a puppy fest with gumbo and tv and beer- so good. She brought the okra 'cause I wasn't sure what it looked like it its normal form...we had barely enough peanut butter (I thought I had another whole jar but it wasn't there)...left out the green pepper and threw in extra celery (that was another oops on my part- thought i had a pepper), and threw in some extra seasonings and chipotle (no liquid smoke)...nom nom nom. Fun recipe.
( totally too much to read- rambles )
Anyway, I've been slacking on the health routine- no gym, no cooking, crappy food, alcohol tons, etc etc...I'm going to try to start getting back into good habits after this weekend. I'll be catching up on the LJ! Good times. ;) Sorry for the babble!

dogonwheels827 , but I'm shocked that this was published by the New York Times of all newspapers- I thought they had higher standards heh.I might use less onion next time...and actually toast the sesame seeds (hee i didn't) but this was surprisingly tasty.
SOOO good! I put in a TINY amount of olive oil and I even forgot to add salt & pepper...delicious.
