Gumbo

For months Josh has been talking about a recipe he has been wanting to try out. Gumbo he calls it. It asked for a lot of really strange and hard to find ingredients, like File powder. So he recently completed the shopping list and invited Matthew over (who has been dying for some cooking classes a la Josh) this turned into a whole day event, as they carefully chopped vegi's skinned and popped the heads off of shrimp (with Jadyn watching in wonderment), and cooked it all up to perfection. All the While Jadyn is talking about the "eyes" in the cooking pot and I had to continually remind her that that is not the part we will be eating. I think she learned a lot that day and in the end still somehow worked up the courage to try the "fish" and loved it! I on the other hand who never was a shrimp fan, and definately not changing my mind any time soon. Sick. It was fun watching josh and Matthew preparing with Jadyn's help and the enjoyment they received from the final dish. Who woulda thought.




Is anyone getting sick of my food posts? Or hungry?
