I will take pics and share next week when I make it again!

This recipe has many of the ingredients in my gumbo...

Sounds like your gravy and rice is a thickened broth with meat served over rice.

Now I want gumbo.... Hmmm... My kids want my sister's empenadas recipe, I think I'll have that with some seafood gumbo. LOL

I'm stewing a chicken and cutting the veggies for a chicken gumbo I'll make tomorrow. I make my roux the day before too....I like a dark copper penny color.

Where I was going wrong is getting it to cool, once I achieved the desired color. Adding the trinity, just before I got to my desired color was like magic.

I make my roux the day before to save cooking time the day I make gumbo. I put it in a glass bowl that is microwave safe. Hit it for 20 seconds...enough to soften the oil and flour.

Is this telethon..Hand in Hand Hurricane Relief..... on all over the states?

Yes, I believe it was on all the major networks. I think Usher's & Blake Shelton's rendition of Stand By Me was one of the best I've heard.

Yes, the notes to the recipe gives that information. It says 4oz rum per glass. I'm not sure, but that sounds like a huge amount of booze. It seemed to me the idea was to just get stonkered and ignore the storm(s).

4 oz is about two and a half shots. Former bar tender... not a good one, but still. LOL

Nice... I like my gumbo roux a medium brown, nice and nutty flavored. I will probably do everything day of on Saturday, since I'll have the time. That is, except buy my seafood. And look for andouille. Hopefully I find something, or I'll have to substitute.

Thanks, it would depend on the size of the glass, but that sounds like a pretty big booze component in one drink.

Yes - I teach GED and ESL classes in a federal prison in Pensacola.

Thank you for doing an important and thankless job. Bet it keeps Florida's recidivism rate a little lower! Wow, I truely am impressed.

It's brown...but it is not made with flour..like normal gravies.
And it's not really a gravy...
It's hard to explain.

It's just called rice and gravy.

Let me sleep on it and see if I can figure out how to explain it.

BTW...the Chicken fricassee recipe from the site @rjohns39 linked somewhere back there came out great!
It's kinda like chicken rice and gravy!

Chicken fricassee, can be made into the best chicken and dumplings, by just using a fat chicken and droping southern dumplings (rolled out and cut like thick noodles, before going into the pot) into fricassee when it is at a rolling boil! I was just telling a hen who has been picking on two others that she better watch her a**. This recipe has me thinking!!! LOL

They aren't allowed to have cell phones because they can circumvent the phone monitoring system and conduct criminal activities with them. They can call cell phone numbers of family/friends on their approved list though.

Such a shame that they cannot be watched while sending one text and then being told what the reply is considering the situation, but I do understand why it could be a hugh problem. You said Juvies, so I guess I just wish they didn't have that to worry about their families and could concentrate on school work, as they might have a chance of turning their lives around.

Since this thread has taken a culinary turn...I've been kicked off of it by my husband (the joke is I married him because he can cook.....I don't cook....so I'd starve if it wasn't for him) who is enjoying reading all the cooking posts....especially about gravy. He's German and cooks Pennsylvania Dutch. I still can't get used to some of the dishes...I don't do cabbage. So a big thank you to all! He's been trying out some of the recipes posted and I'm loving it!!!

Tell him we don't mind is he shares a favorite of his too!

I missed it.
I'll look for it online.
