Me.. make Gumbo?! Yep Yep

By 7:34 PM

Gumbo originated in south Louisiana in the 18th century and combines ingredients and culinary practices of several cultures, including French, Spanish, West African, and Choctaw.  Some people call it a "stew" while others a "soup".  If you are from Louisiana, you clearly understand that gumbo is neither... its a category in and of itself.  Besides.... stew is something for those yankees.  We coon-asses have gumbo.  And man oh man do we love our gumbo.  Growing up, this dish is a part of some great memories, shared with friends and family during everything from holidays to a regular Thursday school night.  There are lots of varieties... but my favorite is chicken and andouille sausage.  Today I wasn't feeling great (for some reason)... and I had some sausage that I needed to cook in the fridge... so I decided to make some.  For the first time.  I know... upset stomach and I decide to take on the feat of cooking gumbo.  Well, have you met me?!  That's what I do.  Overall, the process was very time-consuming but sooo worth it.  Now I have a delicious meal for the week... and to top it off its fabulous comfort food for a southern girl like me. BTW - instead of andouille sausage, I substituted for Bison... YUM!  Fun fact: Gumbo is often used as a metaphor for the mix of cultures that exist in southern Louisiana.  Now you know. :)
