Hurricane Advice

I just saw on CNN where a couple who tried to ride out Irma in their sailboat had to be rescued by Marines. I wonder if it was the same ones I was talking about before the storm hit.

Sad, but still kind of funny if they are the same ones!

I spent three years in Louisiana and could not master a roux. Went to Korea, and learned in a couple of months, by using Paul's book and being taught by a Cajun cook.

The trick is to have the right heat, watch the bubbles and have a lot of patients. LOL

Wish I could make salsa, or guacamole, with cilantro. My Mexican husband hates it. One leaf and he can tell.

well just make a batch for yourself or add it your bowl as you eat it
cause I told Hubby I dont want any sugar in stuff he makes or hot sauce or etc . so he makes it regular and "doctors" his stuff as he eats each serving
he hates garlic and I like it...
just a saying LOL

Yes! Thanks for clarifying my post for me. The most important thing is to cook the roux long enough to get the flour taste out of it.
I do not cook the roux long enough to get a lot of color. I don't want to wear my self out!

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. That is far more important than color, color is more astic.

Remember eating frogs legs all the time at a restaurant we frequented as a kid.
I loved them.
I find Cilantro disgusting.

That's the way we do it at my house. I'll make DW pico with parsley split it in half and add cilantro for me along with some more HOT peppers.

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.

Almost moved to mountains in Northeast corner of TN, before daughter came along!! DH was ready to go even though we would have had to buy a 4 wheel drive truck to get to and from house and would have truely been off the grid. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Want to say it was Cock County.

I was in Alexandria for three years. DW and kids stayed for four.

I love it here. My closest neighbor is about a 1/4 mile away... And I'm in the woods.
