conulyIt's been years, but I just haven't been in the mood. Haven't baked much either.
But everybody likes gumbo. My gumbo is delicious, that's why! It's just always such a production. The roux alone is a solid 45 minutes or more of stirring! (And with a dedicated spoon, because if I'm going to spend 45 minutes making roux I'm damn sure going to make a little extra to eat with sugar, which means no mixing it up with the spoon I'm using on the trinity! Actually, there's an idea, I use roux enough - light rouxes, usually, because who has the time? - that I should make a whole big batch at once and freeze it in portions. But then what would I snack on as I cook?)
