Looks really good. Fall and winter are when I start eating my jambalaya. Do you use andouille sausage for some added kick?

Agree with Bill - Okra, yuk! I'd eat everything in there but that. A nice cold weather food.
I still need to cook the two Andouille brats from the boar my friend shot. Got them in the freezer.

I don't eat anything coming out of the kitchen that she says I can't give to the dogs.
She likes the dogs.

Okra is awesome, I prefer crunching it raw. Gumbo looks delicious. I grew okra this year in the garden, ants decided they liked it too...pods covered in hundreds of ants. the red okra finally out paced the ants and I got some for eating. good stuff.

I like veggies, but texture is everything. Raw may be okay, though.

Okra a staple vegetable in Egypt. Apparently some are not so fond of it here.
yep, andouillie supplies the kick Chuck.
Important- add okra at the end other wise it will break up. Pamper the okra, it makes the gumbo.

Add so much sliced okra it thickens it enough. But gotta have da file'. Hard part is da rue'. Amazed at how delicious the instant rue is. Home made rue tricky to make. |

For many years my neighbor farmer grew a big patch of okra.
He is a short fellow and could not reach the okra as it got taller than him.
Lucky me was called to pick it to keep the plants fruiting.
He is unable to farm now at 90 years old and miss his okra.

That would cancel out ownership , don't you think? Please tell your California friends that isn't really okra! |

$4/jar Pat. The vinegar does remove the slim though. Certainly okra grows well in California ? Okra a beloved vegetable in this area LOL. Surprised you guys are not into it. Vitamin O  We stay away from gender battles. She is an equal opportunity employer. And employs me every chance she gets. |

LOL I'm about as far from Cajun as can be! I'm from Union Parish, the home of lake D'arbonne. Even though I could walk out of my house down the hill and into the lake, it ain't a swamp by a long shot. Those folks where I'm from are very country, red-necky. If you could hear my accent you would probably be shocked. ha. The first pod cast I ever recorded was a bit of a shocker. I played it back and was like, "Who the hell is that countryfied goober speaking?" Took me a beat to realize it was me! I sound much different to the world than to myself it would seem.
Nothing wrong with a rue from a jar. Fast movin world we live in, gotta save time where you can I'm thinkin. The jar rues are just as good IMO and I work at a chemical plant, and trust me, some of these people can COOK!
PS At work tonight and having red beans and rice, even though it is a heresy lol, not Monday, and fried chicken. Good night to be workin.
