My VERY first gumbo this Sunday! I got my Maw-maw to show me her way over Christmas and I'm excited to try it alone for the first time.
tonight is our traditional new year's eve duck dinner at one of my fav restaurants (a dinner special they have only on new years eve). a little mom and pop german place in the sticks. salad soup roasted duck (a half a duck) red cabbage potato (dont know if i want fried potatoes or german potato salad) dessert for greenie, lots of dark beer i wil need to be rolled out of the restaurant and still will likely have a doggie bag.
My youngest son (20) is a little weird in his eating, not always, but he tries strange things that I never would think of. When in La., I brought home 6 lb. of boudin, Neal wanted to have his intl. buddies try it out. Last night, he heated some up, pulled it out of the case, put some mustard on a hamburger bun, piled on the boudin, and had a boudin burger, which was GREAT!!! We got it at Cormier's Grocery in Cankton (near Opelousas/Sunset area for those in the north), used to be Menard's Gro. I went to school with the wife of the owner, and we had a nice conversation. Good boudin, they have both fresh and frozen for traveling. I thought it was better than the Best Stop near Scott.
