As they get older, many of the girls who are TRULY athletes will like the girls who cheer, much more. The flag team are the cheerleader rejects and, in time, could go either way. The dance lines are the best marrying types- all around.
That's the kicker right there. I used to be just like @CajunlostinCali with the roux. But when a bunch of old Cajun that still rattle of the old Cajun french like it's their 1st language (because it was) tell you that you cant make it better....you listen.
Yeah it's not science. Gumbo is water, flour and oil. Beginning with broth, what you put in after that is what tilts the scales imo. If you put too much roux it's a stew. Oh and the next time you cook a stew, instead of white potatoes put some sweet potatoes. I SWEAR you will be shocked at how well it complements it. Doesn't seem like it would, I know.
Ain't no water in no roux, so that shit is dismissed. Great mention on the sweet potato's though. Never did that and you can bet it's happening before the weekend is up. Got shit hitting the slow cooker tomorrow, so it's on. Really? Stock is boiled whatever. Chicken stock is boiled chicken carcass. Beef stock is boiled beef bones. Seafood stock, well, you get it. If you want gravy, reduce the stock to...gravy.
You just took side with a dude that thinks water is in a roux. You just canceled each other out and careful for all yous out there that follow suit. You guys are like bowling pins, just knocking each other into the wall, waiting to be swept into the dump feeder to reset and do it all over again. You're nuts.
Did not say there was. Go back and re-read compadre. Glad to hear that you're willing to try. Let me know how you like. Every person I've gotten to try it loved it. Cooked it for a team meal once- parents too. I'll run into them and they'll say, "We thought about you a while back. We cooked some stew with sweet potatoes." Nah, I said GUMBO was water flour and oil, silly.
I know what you said, I'm just fixated on the damn roux. But my point was water should never hit a gumbo. it's gotta be a stock or it ain't gumbo. What I took from your statement was your sketchy past where you add the rice to an already cooked jambalaya. Using that line of thought adds to the scepticism of ever thinking water is allowed in a gumbo. Sorry y'all are shitty cooks, but you are still good peeps and I would share a burger king with you any day.
