Pick Your Own
I’ve been a big fan of Talk o’ Texas Pickled Okra 
for ages and can crunch through an entire jar while fixing lunch. Just fine with the grocery store brand, I have never looked over the fence. Good thing cause those fancy brands are going gangbusters.
And get this, Oprah (Winfrey, ha ha) has a SANDWICH DEVELOPMENT TEAM. TEAM.
A note from Rick, of Rick’s Picks:
Friends of Rick’s Picks:
Smokra, our pickled okra, has found a delicious new home thanks
to Oprah and her Sandwich Development Team. The November issue
of O Magazine (p.192, on newsstands now) features the Smokra
Cubano Club, a delectable melding of two classic lunchtime
treats. With turkey, ham, and manchego cheese accented by
Smokra, it’s part traditional Club, part neuvo Cuban sandwich,
and it’s a great opportunity to break out your panini press if
you have one. And if you don’t, as the article notes, this
mouth-watering delight can also be made with two skillets: a
large one on the bottom, and a smaller one weighted down with a
large can on top. Some of the best things happen in the
kitchen by improvisation. All it takes is a can-do attitude.
Thanks, Oprah!
Have a nice weekend… and a Smokra Cubano Club while you’re at
it!
Rick
I must say, the stuff Rick’s Picks puts in jars is superlative. He’s got a way with words,too. All his products have tongue pleasing names.
Gotta run to the mailbox now to check for a personal thank you note from Oprah for the shout out.
