1 teaspoon of the garlic, and the crumbled thyme.
In a stockpot, brown the diced bacon. Wilt the spinach in the rendered
bacon fat. Add the okra, cover with the water, and add salt and freshly
ground black pepper to taste. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring constantly
with a whisk. When done, add the crab meat, remaining garlic, and
chili that has been pricked with a fork. Continue to cook over low
heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When done, add the lime
