Bowl overflowing with fresh red tomatoes, another huge metal bowl filled with purple tomatoes and green & red okra pods.  All from our tiny front yard garden patch! A tattered and stained copy of the 2nd edition of the Picayune Creole Cook Book, which I snitched from my mother Cookbook recipes for gumbo - I made the okra one with andouille sausage and shrimp added - delicious! Pineapple upside-down cake with pecans and maraschino cherries
