I knew I liked them but I only just discovered that The Husband likes them... and very much too! Since we're exactly opposite of each other in almost every way, this is a pleasant realisation indeed. Anyway, to satisfy both our appetites for this delicious vegetable, I now have 7 lady's finger plants. This gives us about 1 large plate of lady's finger stir fry every week.
With such regular servings, I've discovered something else. The rest of the family, including our helper, HATES the stuff. Little Boy describes it as the vegetable with the wet and slimy coating. The Daughter says "Revolting!" And the helper gave us a gentle smile and graciously declined her share of the vegetable. Altogether, they give my seven plants the evil eye.
Heh! Heh! Heh! What they don't know and will soon find out, is that the attractive creeper with pink flower buds is also another slimy vegetable called the Malabar Spinach. And it's about ready for harvesting.
Now... how does one write *diabolical smile* into a blog?

He he he, I can imagine an evil smile like Cruella de Vil's!
Funny thing is my kids like them.In fact, they 'chope' the lady's fingers when we make yong tau foo soup. I sowed some seeds last week too. They were from my last batch. There just too few for cooking, so I let the pods dry up on the plant.
Oh... I saw your blog on your Lady's Fingers too! But that was some time back.
