Good thing I made that two gallons of gumbo yesterday... LOL!!!! He's not whistling Dixie on that one. Most have a hard time driving in the rain down here. As soon as they even hint at ice or the white stuff, there is generally a raid on the grocery stores like it's going to be an all force White Out. It can be amusing to watch, but then I am a transplant from near Canada. No reflection on their character, good folk on the over all, but Texans and Winter Weather do not mix. Currently 29 degrees with a windchill of 18, quite wet and more to come. (If it were about 20 degrees lower, it would feel like home. LOL!) OOOOOO!!! Gumbo!!!!

Red-Handed Jill Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 It's getting a tad cooler here and someone in the office keeps turning down the thermostat in the afternoons so it's freezing in the morning. I just bought a space heater and it's on full blast, although I'm still wearing my jacket and scarf. Brrrr! So tonight dinner's a big batch of risotto and crusty french bread (comfort food.)

Zephaniah W Nash Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 May need a wee bit of advice on that aforementioned gumbo. Actually, Wednesday, it was gumbo. Yesterday it was... um... is congealed the right word...? Still right tasty (though could be a bit more spicy for me) but it turned very, very stew-like, rather than being that more liquid consistency that I generally think of with gumbo. Too much or too thick rue, perhaps...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurore Devareaux Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 What did you use for the roux? Did you do it from scratch or use a premade foundation? (Zatarain's, perhaps?) To be absolutly honest, I have had it gravy-like and thin. There is a place up in Denton that is owned by folk who come from the Source, their roux tends to lean towards the thick side. ( But not as heavy as most gravys.) If you do not wish to go through the time that is takes to build a proper roux, boiling fish down and using file' , I might suggest looking into using Tony Chachere's version. You can rarely go wrong with the products he offers. Not spicy enough? Meaning "heat" or flavor? Jimmy Buffett said that Gumbo is ..."a little like religion and a lot like sex." If its' done right, truer words could never be spoken. Now! Back to our Weather Reports!

The Doctor Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 For my roux alone, I'll use oil and flour and cook it 'til it's chestnut colored. Takes about the time you need to drink 2 1\2 beers, and lots of stirring. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kass Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 67F and drizzling. It's almost too muggy to breathe! This is the Northeast but I think we're getting California's weather... Mmmm...

Cheeky Actress Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 LET IT SNOW!!! We are expected to get 3 to 6 inches by the end of the today. Coming to work this morning was fun...lots of people have obviously forgotten how to drive in this stuff. I counted 7 cars and one buckboard off the side of the road.

Ransom Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Sunny, after three days of rain, and light snow. But it's cold - down in the 20's at night, and maybe 40 during the day. Sun isn't going to last, as rain is forcast again, but it's nice to get that little break! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
