GUMBO!!!!

Damn, I love good gumbo.  Ever since taking a cooking class in NOLA, I've endeavored to conjure some up, worthy of the respect of the 132 year old Creole lady, who taught it.  After a few batches that were close, but not quite, I nailed it.

Take a look at that nice, dark roux. 

And, the finale of some delicious (if I do say so myself) gumbo.

I'm in Heaven, even if it's still Kansas...
