gumbo

Today was a balmy 67 degrees. Unseasonal for early February in Pennsylvania. It felt like winter in Louisiana, where you're not sure whether to wear a jacket or a Tshirt.

Chris and I have been passing a weird mood back and forth all week. I think we miss NOLA. It was Mardi Gras yesterday. Today I wore the same maternity Tshirt I wore to the last Mardi Gras parade I went to, when I was pregnant with Ellis. I wore it today as I stood stirring a steaming vat of gumbo. I don't think it's possible to make gumbo in quantities smaller than Big Vat.

Yeah, Alissa is crying over missing Mardi Gras right now, too.

Hetha:

I've never been to Mardi Gras, but we used to be regulars each year at the jazz festival. I look forward to taking Ethan someday! Enjoy the vat of gumbo, sounds really good.

Jo:

I want to come to your house, yum!!

TulipGirl:

Yumm!

Glad you made gumbo and enjoyed it.

I'd love to know your recipe for gumbo. I'm trying to learn more rice and beans recipes...
