Pickled Okra & Oil Lamps. In some ways, Lady Bird's tastes are militantly homespun. Her favorite recipes are for turkey dressing, spinach souffle, double divinity and pickled okra. She likes to watch television, talk on the telephone, hunt deer, shoot doves, take home movies. She recalls with pride her childhood on an isolated Texas farm: "I used an oil lamp until I was nine years old, and I can remember what a big day it was when we finally got indoor plumbing...
