Good morning treefam

My Sammy cat wakes me every day at 3am with a nice gentle scratching on my arm till I wake and pet him, then he is fine and back to sleep.

Good luck everyone and thank you GMO and Uncle
Not mine. She either goes to town on her scratcher, paws me, licks me, walks on my head, meows in my ear or a combination of all, until I wake up. Usually, just to alert me that she has pooped. :laugh:
Funny now, but not at 4am. :blink:

I haven't seen "Insidious" yet, but it's on my list to watch this week, I heard it's pretty good. It's raining and starting to flood around here, they're starting to close off some more roads, so I may watch it today.

10/24 - 6: A rookie at this.... sending out those good vibes to you mentioned before. A veteran if you will in that nature has been a love of my life. I have taken near dead trees and brought them to life; they love me. Sad to see that the biggest of this city, at my home, that nearly died is going to soon no longer see me. I have said farewell to that tree and hope that some good person takes over this house and takes care of that tree...

An excellent explanation of what Gumbo is, but it really has to be tasted to be appreciated !!

Several additions are also good.. Cajun Potato Salad and File. The potato salad is a traditional potato salad with mustard, eggs, sweet pickle relish but the potatos are overcooked and somewhat mashed. It is served on the side of the bowl rim.. half in the Gumbo.

Also on the rim is a little file.. ground sassafras root (or is it leaves?) no my personal favorite.

All-in-all, a delightful cajun Staple in cold weather

That's my favorite, especially with a little crab in it! Yum Yum!!! :thumbs:





It's a hearty Cajun stew, with okra, it also has onion, celery and bell pepper. The heart of every good gumbo is the roux, which gives it the body, color, and depth of flavor. I used to work at a seafood restaurant for several years and we cooked our roux for 7 days. It gave the gumbo a very rich, deep, full flavor. As far as proteins, whatever is on hand, some of the more traditional would be shrimp, crab, oysters, chicken, duck, andouille(spicy Cajun sausage), crawfish, gator etc. Most gumbos have a couple different proteins in 'em. The gumbo is served with a scoop or two of rice in it.

My favorite has shrimp and crab with a few oysters tossed in and a bit diced andouille. That's just good eating right there! :thumb:

Perfect weather for red beans and rice. Made some rice and have a big pot of spicy red beans with some ham hock and andouille sausage ready......smells soooo good.
Saw this yesterday and meant to respond. I LOVE red beans and rice, sans the meat. Probably my favorite Southern dish!
