Only caught about 5 crabs a couple weeks ago. Added the cleaned crabs and shrimp and Tasso to a real dark roux.  Had it for the 2nd day in a row today. Probably gonna have it for lunch tomorrow too. Can’t get enough. 

Gumbo is always better the 2nd Day! The marination process is complete by the 2nd day! Man my wife’s gumbo is legit! My 2 boys always beg my wife to make gumbo since they learned how to talk. Love me some homemade fried shrimp patties on the side with potato salad.

You are exactly right about the 2nd day being better. That’s a gumbo competition secret (cheat). Cook the regulation pot of gumbo on-site. Sneak a small batch made the day before to use for what you turn in.

My old neighbor was authentic, couldn't understand half of what he was saying. Just him and his wife, they only knew how to cook for 10 people. So they would knock on the door unannounced, with a big pot of gumbo and homemade bread. One time, my dad and I, must have spent 20 mins trying to dig out the meat before we realized there was nothing but okra in there. All we had was Italian sausage, from Nick's of course. He cooked it up and dropped them in. Honestly the strangest gumbo I've ever had, but a great memory.

I make a mean shrimp and crab meat gumbo. Fed some blue hats back at the old Texaco Chemical (Huntsman now). Most were coonass and they complimented me on my gumbo. I figure that was good enough for me. I like mine with rice, but potato salad is good too. Had to have potato salad for them guys. Lol

My etouffee is pretty good too. I don’t claim to be the best, but I have never had a complaint.

We happened to find some La crawfish (complete with fat) at Sams.   My wife made (some of?) the best etouffee I’ve ever ate.  Literally, my mouth is watering as I’m posting this.😛😛😛

Man, that sounds awesome. Just heard my stomach growl just thinking about it.

    • Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure. 
    • @bullets13 not sure why it double posted the topic.. delete this one plz sir
    • Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣 
    • I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
