Gumbo

[parodyluvr75]

Same with chili.

 

[Saint Peter]

More salt.

 

[Saint Peter]

I need a beer to wash this salt down.

 

[neci]

the beer's hot, bitch.

 

[Saint Peter]

Cøørs tastes better hot.

 

[neci]

piss guzzler.

and peppers. there will be peppers in this gumbo. sometimes i get the urge to cheat and throw a beer in. that's for chile and drunk beans. there will be fresh pintos for supper on friday.

 

[Saint Peter]

What kind of peppers?

 

[neci]

bell, green and chocolate. anaheim. i have to see what else i have. maybe just the bells.

 

[neci]

there's other work to be done, before i can begin. plus, i need to find the camera. gumbo is on the menu. onions, garlic, peppers and okra need to be prepped, before the roux is begun. once the roux is started, that's it.

 

[lovetoread]

Okra is one of the few things I don't like.


And Brussels Sprouts. Foul weeds.

I can only eat okra fried.

I hope that I don't lose my southern card for admitting that.

i didn't really eat okra until college, where they served it up fried. so good.

also, random fact, a lot of gumbo doesn't include okra. this one does, because i'm a fan, and it's in season.

I'm very excited.

I can't cook w/out music. Up here in Metro Detroit, we have 'Swichin' in the Kitchen"

I never use water when I make gumbo. I use either chicken or seafood stock. It gives it more depth of flavor. Actually I rarely use water to cook at all. As Emeril says, "I don't know where you get your water, but where I get mine it doesn't come seasoned". LOL

 

[neci]

the roux took about 40 minutes to become a shade of peanut butter. the nutty flavor came, before the color turned. i didn't want to push it much further, because of the butter. had it been oil, a dark brown would be brilliant.

 

[neci]

stir! stir! stir!

 

[neci]

veggie and snausage time!

 

[neci]

well, i didn't use seasoned water. just plain water from the tap. i figure the veggies, snausages and shrimps will season it just fine. i also thought about adding in a cajun seasoning to the pot, but am going to hold off on it. just salt and pepper for now. the shrimps will be added in about an hour and a half. the pot is simmering on low for now. the water is no longer plain.
