GUMBO!

[CNS]

Favorite thing to cook of all time.

Shrimp, Crab, & Andouille sausage.

Made a huge pot yesterday.  Currently in the freezer getting ready to be awesome at a future date.

Pretty standard gumbo ingredient.  If you can't stand the gumbo, I guess you can thicken it with just file.

Hey, I'm a fuzzy little nasty thing that you hope will at least taste like a chile because I somewhat ressemble one but nope, I'm just a grizzos okra.

I use okra, but I cook it down like crazy.  The end product has no visible okra in it.

it's delicious, harder than Red Beans and Rice.  The roux takes a long time of boring-ass stirring to get right.

I'd make it if i could find decent seafood and andouille in KC.

As long as you don't get tough shrimp, the stuff here in KC works just fine.

Price Chopper has surprisingly OK andouille.

I just use the Zataran's mix and I still find it to be really enjoyable to eat.

Trim watch in amazement Saturday night as I nearly orgasm'd eating Hibachi Hut gumbo....but he could have been looking that way because he was rough ridin' hammered.  Either way, he was looking that way.

as for the non-seafood route, I found a Thnxgivng leftover gumbo recipe I am going to try this Nov.

There's a saying about gumbo, something about you can add anything that swims, flies, crawls, hops, or slithers.  Something like that anyway.  Basically, anything goes.

I used to bang a chick that worked at Texas Star.  Loved when she would bring home food from there all the time and I would be all drunk and eat it in like 4 minutes.

Tell him to keep the fish out of the gumbo.

Then tell him I said "your welcome".

[pike]

No fish in the gumbo, dude
