  5. Hi Ladies,
    Your website is MAGNIFICENT ! I love knowing that you’re right up the road in Frisco, Texas.
    I need your advice. For the past several years, I’ve been growing Malabar spinach which grows well in the Texas heat. However, the leaves of this plant are slimy, YUCK.
    I’ve heard that there are ways to cook this veg. which eliminates this problem. I’ve dried the leaves and this works in soups, but it’s labor intensive. I would be grateful if you would show how to use this veg. in cooking non-slimy dishes.
    Many thanks,
    Cynthia Stewart
