A Fine Murder Weapon

I remember an Alfred Hitchcock movie that opens with two FBI agents munching on a leg of lamb. Later, it is revealed that the lamb when frozen was the murder weapon in the crime they are trying to solve. The woman who serves the agents is smiling as they discuss weapon possibilities because she did the evil deed. I thought of this scene today as I harvested potentially lethal spears of burgundy okra. Frozen, they could inflict major damage.I thought I checked the plants yesterday, but perhaps I did not check closely enough. The six inches pods are sharp pointed, curved and inedible.The four inch pods are delicious beyond belief. I ate some four inchers raw, chopped into small succulent pieces sprayed with Bragg's Aminos . Yes,one of the joys of backyard gardening is growing veggies that don't appear on the shelves of even the organic produce purveyors. Burgundy okra is one of those veggies. Plus,a pod might come in handy during a street fight. And,during the political season, who knows when one might break out???
