    Raw Okra Salad With Southern Indiana Vinaigrette

    Ingredients

    • ½-1 cup tomatoes (variety of colors and types)
    • ½-1 cup red onions
    • ½-1 cup tomatillos
    • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
    • 2-3 cayenne pepper rings
    •  Lemon zest
    • 3 tablespoons vinegar
    • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
    •  Salt and pepper to taste

    Cooking Directions

    1. Choose small, young okra. They get more fibrous and are less ideal for raw dishes as they get larger.
    2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss. Serve immediately

    • -----split conversations with modules for editing in WAV or AIF, avoid editing in MP3, but MP3 is fine for final output
    • soundflower - Mac utility that allows you to expand inputs via MIDI utility
    •  Final Cut
    • Garage Band
    • Quicktime Pro
    • iMovie
    •  Microphones
    • blue Snowball usb
    •  Plantronics dsp 400 - we've discovered that I'm overdriving my mic, despite what the control panel tells me, thus the "clipping" of some of my audio. Eric tried to fix as much as he could in post production. - rick
    •  waterfall sounds - a bit of artful post-production editing covers up a lot of errors, one reason I run a waterfall sound through all my videos is that it covers up a lot of mic bobbles and production problems. It's also soothing, like here - rick

      A note to Rick,
      I tried to get a data only plan for my iPhone and AT&T said NO and that I would have to get an iPod Touch. I got a Hot Spot from Walmart, it uses the Sprint Network and you buy MB/GB that never expire until you use them. Virgin, T-Mobile and another that I can't remember have the same deal except their data purchased only lasts for one month.

      Paul, I was slinging through stuff pretty quick in the podcast, so I may have gotten it confused. I have a data plan (att) for my iPad (mostly so I can use Square to accept payments).

      Right now I plan to just turn my iPhone into a an iTouch by disabling the phone/data part of it when my contract expires and picking up some burner phones for the occasional call.

      But now, this hotspot idea! I hadn't considered that. I really needed something like that for the greenhouse. Somebody fished out my 10 hard-earned catfish from my aquaponics tank. I need a little motion triggered surveillance and transmission.

      Thanks.
