RafterW Looking Good,

Well I decided that getting out the fryer for clams meant I should go ahead and fry everything. Going around the plate counter clockwise from the clams are okra, green tomatoes, egg plant, and homemade pickles. All from my garden. Im going to take a nap now. I’ll be OK, I’m going to cut the grease with a little whiskey later.

Red Snapper and some boiled peanuts.

cdavis Italy. It is a potato dumpling of sorts, they soak up alot of flavor in the sauce of your dish. There is spinach, kielbasa, diced tomato, a splash of chicken stock, onion, garlic, mozzarella and parmesan cheese in the dish.
RafterW What’s not to like in that combo?

Well, I finally had a chance to load a few photos from that Gumbo I made last week before hitting the road. I am still reeling from the road, but lots more work to do. So I won’t say much.
Some folks figure it is that Roux that makes the Gumbo. Here is a photo of it just before it is ready. No time for sure for picture taking when it gets ready. You gotta move fast.

Then maybe its just that ol stewing hen running around out back that does it. Whoops, where did them two cups of Red Wine go? -

I wanted to do that nice display with the rice & cottage cheese & green onions & French Bread, but there was too much gobbling going on.

Surg Thank you, I really appreciate that. Come to think of it, I’ll have another glass of Red Wine for you too. This has got to stop or I won’t get any work done with all that Red Wine I am having to clear out!

calldoctoday You did a fine job. That’s my target color. Your final product looks perfect. I agree, need French bread and you’re good to go. Haven’t ever had it with cottage cheese, but have heard of people eating their gumbo with potato salad. I’m old school, just over rice.
When I make large batches, like in my 60 quart gumbo pot, I’ve learned to cook my roux in the oven, just keep it at 350’F and stir about every half hour. It takes longer, but for large amounts or roux, it’s safer, at least for me - then I can have the whole bottle of wine LOL
Again great job.

Surg Oh Boy, now that’s living!
