So far I watched Jay Na's first video and that's EXACTLY why I won't live in a HOA. Not all are what was shown in the video but like one guy said; "You're just on vote away from a living hell:"

I haven't personally experienced living in a HOA, but I really don't see the need to experience something most say really sucks. I'd rather have neighbors with yards full of weeds and junk than living under the rules of dictators and narcissists trying to create a communist commune.

I prefer not to live in a neighborhood, we have 1 acre and house beside us, has 10 acres. House behind us has 5 acres, We can't see either house and we are on a corner. Just the way we like it.

I love okra, I have gotten fried frozen okra and also just frozen okra and have used it numerous times in Louisiana style dishes and never had it slimy. My husband hates thyme and a lot of those dishes call for it, no real noticeable difference in taste without

Lars, you got the "holy trinity" right,--- the celery, sweet peppers and onions.

Re okra sliminess. My gumbo recipe calls for separately sauteeing the sliced okra in a tiny bit of oil ”until it is no longer ropy.” Yes, it will get slimy or ropy for a while, but then the slime cooks out of it.


If you are getting fried okra that is slimy, it hasn’t been cooked long enough. I grew up eating tons of okra. My 2 least favorite ways were boiled and buttered or stewed with onions and tomatoes. Both of those were slimy. My most favorite was sliced crosswise, breaded with cornmeal, and fried until almost but not quite burnt. I can still eat my weight in it fried like that!
