Jim, do you have a link to Charlie's recipe ?
Please share if it's not too much trouble.
Thank you, Denny.

Denny, here it is. This was the one he liked the best. https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-and-sausage-gumbo-0Only changes we made was to use thighs or thigh quarters, and to use more veggies than it calls for.

I remember talking with our friend, Charlie about making the roux and how it got progressively darker during the process. Pretty cool.

Some of my worst burns in the kitchen have been from stirring roux.

Good on you Jim.
What a great way to honour our friend !
Have never made it, but have eaten it in our travels.
Just might have to remedy that, upon return from the Caribbean.

Got kind of sentimental the other day. Decided to cook Charlie's gumbo. It was not his recipe, but it was his favorite. I did not have any okra though..... This is the recipe that he said to double the veggies. Who am I to deviate?? It was fun cooking this again, thinking about Charlie. I'd light into that plate since it looks tasty, but it's not what I'd call gumbo. Gumbo needs a bowl. I lifted a typical pic from the web:

Wrong kinda hot sauce though. Miss that ol' codger. WTF?? Charlie died?
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I haven't been spending much time here lately, but I still can't believe I missed this. He was a good man and I will miss his posts.
