I Don't Miss This...

It's chilly in the Gret Stet today, but Scout Prime posts a reminder of what winter's REALLY like...ouch. Sometimes I still feel like I haven't quite thawed out from my time up there...



And...it's more than a little ironic that one of THE best ways to warm up on a cold day is...a Gret Stet classic: Gumbo. Jeffrey's got a hell of a recipe, with a step-by-step pictorial. Mmmmmmm.

When the roux is ready, turn the heat way way down low.. or even completely off.. and add your vegetables. The introduction of onion celery and bell pepper to a hot roux produces one of the greatest smells known to mankind.

I think Jeffrey might be understating it just a bit.
