How dark do you make your roux?

black or she's a racists!

 

[spacekowboy]

Shut up and help me cook this shit. I need someone to stir the roux.

Then she needs someone to help with the soup.



Badoomchi.

That's the coffee. Roux for gumbo should be the color of an old penny.

How dark do you make your roux?

Man I ate at a new New Orleans Seafood restaurant two weeks ago and the roux was almost black. Is that "normal"?

Woman, let's get in trouble together sometime.

Yes, that's how NOLA people do it.

One of my favorite pickup lines.

right behind "Hey baybee....can I buy you a car?"

Just so it doesn't taste like burnt toast. It's a fine line.

1HF, my love. That cracked me up
I'm using frozen okra *GASP* so it's all prepared for me.
The roux will be a chocolate brown. The video I'm watching says so.
Wings, that can't come soon enough. That's what she said.


I gotta add Noor to the list although I think we've been posting for a few months because she's another seasoned poster I didn't start interacting with until recently.

We had so many HOF threads celebrating the oldies but goodies, I just wanted to show some love to the new people and new-to-me people.

I can't believe this thread doesn't have any Garnate selfies.

Show us your roux!

Awww, Thank you for making such a nice thread. I adore you, Ms. Garnate.

I think I have also met 6 or 7 ppl in the past month whose names I have seen for years here but I have not really interacted with. Continually getting to know ppl on a more personal basis around here is one of the best perks of this place.

BFF's for everyone! Woot!!

I always like it when other people have cooked with it. And I love gumbo. I've just never made anything with it myself. So do you just chop it and throw it in, or does it need other preparation before you add it to the soup?

And these cookies are going to be fucking good. So there's that.

gumbo

 

[neci]

roux color depends on the fat you're using. grease and veg oil are best for a dark roux.

 

[lovetoread]

Okra should be fried or not used at all.

YES! It was a good gumbo, borderline great, but it had a "burned" aftertaste.

Oh hush, lambchop. You can't be the center of EVERY thread!

 

[doowdniw]

I don't know about your gumbo, but I bet you can make some mean dirty rice.

 

[dolf]

why?

 

[Garnate]

Garnate, I freaking love you. Also, you may or may not know that this Ohio girl spent her summers in Louisiana. While I never mastered gumbo, I make a kick ass red beans and rice.

ETA: I am a pretty big fan of everyone listed in this non-list and of those posting in the thread.

I probably could've used you here. This is my first time making gumbo. I measured nothing! Just watched a video

I can't believe this thread doesn't have any Garnate selfies.

Show us your roux!

I just added it in; I'll take a pic of the finished product.

Right? This place is full of amazingness that even after 6 1/2 yrs I'm still figuring out. And no one can say our newbs suck because we have some pretty good ones.

why?

Because we've been friends for years, twat! True, we've grown way closer the last few months and your name was on the tip of my fingers when I made this thread, but still. You're MY dolf. Mine. Forever and ever and ever amen.

Not on purpose. I don't know his music. Because country. *Shoots salf*
