Gumbo

[cleaver]

spectacular neci...
thanks, indeed for taking us on this story.

and...

it's in the doing of it;
the patience and detail
and intuition
and love
that...

i hope
brought you
what down home
is known as "lagniappe"

a great pot made
a story never quite repeatable
a journey whose goal
only the chef fully knows...

yes.
they ate.
they enjoyed.

but may the greatest nourishment have come to you.

gumbo is a journey
and a story
and a living document.

please tell me that at least one of the spawn watched
and listened
and told you a story you had never heard...

stirring roux
is the best place;
but any place in gumbo will do.

I've never tried it before.

Neci, that looks amazing. Good homemade food.

Do you eat it with fresh crusty bread rolls, or is there another way?

Great pics. That's a big pot.

you need to make a trip to new orleans
