Cooled off compared to the 90’s a couple weeks ago. Kinda dreary cloudy day.

Pot of gumbo going.

Chicken, andouille sersage, shrimp and crab.


I do it the easy way. “Louisiana power” gumbo starter in the quart jar.

Now to simmer all day.

Wife's fixing gumbo today, too. Got some friends coming over Tuesday and that's what we gonna feed'em.

timing will be perfect, then! okra included, eh?

I made a gumbo Thursday.

Pheasant, andouille and shrimp.

Did not have any okra on hand and did not want to go to the store for it but did have diced green onions to add to the bowls.

Son just asked me to make some the other day,maybe next weekend ,does sound good

Sounds deelish!

Hey, I'm not the cook..... just the dishwasher!

Kinda warm in South La. today , gonna cook a spaghetti.

You boys are kill’n me! We’re overdue for a good Gumbo. Hell.....we’re overdue for a bad Gumbo! memtb

I'm no expert on Gumbo but I do like to type with a very dark roux.

Made a pot of chicken and deer sausage gumbo yesterday myself. I’m making meals for my trip to Montana this week for opening elk rifle.
I’ve got gumbo, beef stew and chili in quart bags in the freezer getting frozen.
I’d rather eat these type of meals than mountain house.
We had enough gumbo left over to have lunch after church.

Didn't do gumbo but did make a big pot of jambalaya for last night . . . it was good . . .

Would a shrimp etouffee be ok?

Them elk have a keen sense of smell ya know....

Made some for myself Friday evening.

I made that once.

It was great.

Yes it would. Pretty much anything with seafood would be great! As we’re a ways from the gulf.....the wife is making Clam Chowder (New England). I’m guess’n, there’s won’t be any okra in it! However, we have Hank Sr. singing Jambalaya in the background....does that count for anything? memtb

In a pinch, Hank will do!

A nice pot of Gumbo sounds great!

Jim C
Ya gotta remembr that them elks have good smellers, and when they smell "Mountain House" and think outsiders/hunters.
That gumbo and Louisiana smellin food . . . they be lulled into the relaxed mode and never tink them Louisiana boyz be in the mountains to shoot dem. yea.

Jim, either shrimp or crawfish etouffee are great! My wife would kill for crawfish etouffee! memtb

That makes good sense.

You bring a gumbo around and you could rob me blind!

Weather's uncertain around here this time of year so I played it safe and made a Spinach Quiche for lunch.

And before one of you yahoo's pops off......I turned in my man card years ago..

Damn...... just Damn!

I need to make up a good Gumbo. LOVE that stuff..
