My pa was from Alabama so we always had peppers and okra growing in our garden and I grew up eating that stuff. He taught me. It's pretty easy really if you pay attention and don't get too drunk. I found an asian market here that sells fresh whole shrimp (those are hard to find if you're not on the gulf coast) and I shell em and throw the heads and shells into a pot to make bullion. Use that for my liquid. I also found an easy way to make a roux. Equal parts oil and flour give it a stir over heat on the stove, throw it in the oven at 350 and let it cook - you don't have to stir it constantly just every 15 minutes or so til it gets to the color you want it. I like a deep chocolate brown. You can make it ahead and store it in the fridge too. Man I'm gettin hungry.

Lynn says she might try making her roux your way next time and see how it turns out. Thanks

I saw that trick with the roux on Good Eats on the Food Network. Alton Brown. It works.

With all this talk about gumbo, I think we need to have another party. GUMBO PARTY at Spirit's house. We all had fun at the last party , thanks Gordon. However, some of us might still be a little hung over, maybe we better wait a little longer before our next party.

Y'all come on over. My gumbo is a hangover killer. I usually do chicken, shrimp and andouille. Anybody want anything more exotic than that?
