FUNGI

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil over medium-high.
• When water reaches a rolling boil, add okra and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook over medium-high until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Slowly and carefully, pour half the cornmeal into the water while whisking to prevent lumps. It will get very thick very quickly.
• Once the mixture is smooth, add the remaining cornmeal and the butter, whisking vigorously to combine.
• When smooth, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a little thinner, whisk additional water into the mixture. Serve hot.

FRESH LIME PIE (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the wafer crumbs with the butter and sugar and press down into the bottom of a pie pan. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is just starting to brown. Let cool.
• Put the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat until they are thick and pale yellow. Stir the eggs into the condensed milk.
• Add the lime juice and rind and pour over the crust. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until the whites begin to thicken. Slowly add the sugar and continue to beat until you get stiff peaks.
• Spread the egg whites gently over the lime filling.
• Bake at 350 for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the meringue begins to brown.
