Crowder - you missed out!!!!!

[certherfbeef]

No one had told me what gumbo is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you take beef stew and substitute shrimp, crawfish, crabs, and/or lobster, plus add any vegetables you like besides the customary potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, etc.,

Why would someone ruin a perfectally good BEEF stew????

Thanks for the definations gang.

Because it provides a wider base of dining experience and gumbo is pretty darned good!

I would agree with you there...deeeelicious! my friend from St Lousia makes it for me.

Cert,

Gumbo is more like a thick soup with ,most of the time, seafood thrown in. Sometimes people make chicken gumbo, or sausage, anything and everything. They key is the roux. You gotta know to make a good roux to get things started.

O.k., I'm definitley no Paul Prudhomme, but aplusmnt asked me for a recipe for etoufee, here it is.

For crawfish or shrimp

Using a large skillet:
Melt 1/2 cup of butter (or margarine) over low heat. Add 1 cup of finely chopped onions. (Don't go adding those sweet Vidalia's, regular onions are the best) Cook the onions until they are clear, but not crisp. Add 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add 1 lb. of crawfish tails or shrimp and 1/2 cup chopped green onion tops (green onion tops optional) and simmer over low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionaly. In a seperate small bowl mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water. Pour the cornstarch mix into the skillet. This will thicken the mixture somewhat and give it a nice yellow color. Simmer for 15 minutes covered, stirring occasionaly (stirring occasionaly means opening up the skillet to let everyone smell what you got coming :) ) Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley if you like, and let sit for a few miuntes. Sauce will thicken more after sitting. Then take you a bunch out, put over some steaming hot rice, and your ready to eat!!!

Man, I'm hungry and it's 6:24 a.m.

Hey Crowder,

I had one of your 'ol buddies from Tennessee over today and we did some good eating. Thought you might want to see some of the pics. The menu included crawfish, gumbo, and gator. Sorry, couldn't post the pics of the women involved.

You know there is one person missing by the way MEEE! I wanted some too. I always miss out on the fun, I never get to go anywhere, that doesn't involve feeding one end to shovel manure out of the other come on guys save me some next time. :cry:

Yeah, right. Maybe some of our viewers will believe a story like that. Dr. Crowder says, "Denial is the 1st sign of a problem."

No denial here, got a sign that says "Exit only" ;-)

The only backs that might have been broken was the cow that my new bull mounted while WPaint and I were checking them out. My wife and kids were all there. As a matter of fact, good 'ol warpaint even spent some time with my 8 year old teaching her some Cherokee words, while we laughed at the fact that you weren't there getting to eat some good food. Hey WPaint, I think he's just jealous. All this talk he's doing about chitlins, and we're eating Louisiana's finest.
