This morning when I woke up, the first thing I thought about was . . we’re having gumbo today. Yes, I love gumbo! I got it totally done yesterday so the flavors could do whatever they do overnight . . blend, intensify . . I don’t know. All I know is that I like gumbo better the second day.

How good does that look? It was all done except for the okra. I still have a few jars of okra that I canned year before last when I made a lot of okra in my garden.

I was thinking . . if we can have ice cream before we have our meal, we should be able to have gumbo for breakfast but I didn’t think that would fly with Vince so . . our afternoon meal will be gumbo, if I can wait that long.

Gumbo is a favorite at my house. I may do that today.

I had seafood gumbo at the Welcome Center on I-10 in the east entry point of Louisiana last May. It was good but SPICY! My first time. Great for lunch but not for supper.

You could have a small bowl, and then eat more later. =)

YUM! I’ve been thinking about gumbo lately. We’re doing chili tonight, but I need to make a chicken and sausage gumbo soon! I always make a seafood gumbo for Christmas Eve. Over the years it’s evolved into a feast of gumbo, fried oysters (I buy a gallon, so after I use what we need for the gumbo, I fry the rest), and seafood and/or crawfish boudain. Then we have leftovers on Christmas. I don’t cook on Christmas!! I agree that gumbo is always better after the flavors have a chance to meld. Enjoy your gumbo!!
