After The Gumbo

Sorry to be late in posting... it's just been a bit busy here.

Yep, the family got together yesterday and it was a big gumbo festival!

The best part was seeing my nephew, Josh (26), and niece, Kristin (22)... they are both so incredibly gorgeous and even more intelligent. I never realize how much I miss them until I see them.

So, what did YOU do?

Easter Gumbo

Oh yeah, you read that right!

We got an email from my favorite brother the other day... he and his wife decided to have Easter Gumbo on Sunday instead of a traditional Easter dinner. Now, this is a first for our family, but it looks like it's a big hit because EVERYONE is showing up - nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandparents - the whole shabang.

Now, what you don't know is my husband (Jerry), my sister's husband (Chuck), and my favorite (and only) brother (Darren) all think that they make the best gumbo on earth. When one of the others make it, you can hear the other two over in corner somewhere talking about what should've been included or left out... or how the roux just wasn't right, etc....

They think we don't know, but we do.

Sunday will be seafood gumbo. Delicious no matter which of the three make it.

Although my family has no clue about this blog, I am not taking the risk of choosing a seafood gumbo side, people.

Does your family have a non-traditional special dinner? Some of my Mexican friends have tamales for Christmas dinner. Our Lebanese neighbors have kibbe (oh, how I wish she'd make us some right now!). How about you??

Don't get me started on the chicken and sausage gumbo... oh my goodness!
