I am going to go with crayfish instead of sausage.

That's weird mixing shellfish and a "meat".

A Creole gumbo is seafood/shellfish, usually okra and maybe tomato.

A Cajun gumbo is fowl and a meat usually chicken and sausage.

I've never seen it mixed u may be opening a pandora's box.
The unexplained may start happening
Good luck

If u use okra u must sautee it in a frying pan before to cook the slime out. If u put fresh okra in a gumbo it'll be a slimy mess.
With either u can add a little ground sassafras (file') after its in a bowl as an herb and thickening agent but just a sprinkle

hey what's a good chicken recipe? Steak and eggs lol I guess technically

I have had chicken with shrimp in dishes I assume are Creole. Crayfish to me taste better. I have made gumbo with shrimp, oysters and sausage without problems. I eat okra frequently and really like it raw. The sliminess issue is appreciated and will be taken into account. Sassafras not for me, already had to much in tea and that stuff can be bad for your liver.

I don't like slimy okra. Crawfish I prefer boiled or like a crawfish and corn bisque. Not the stuffed crawfish head kind I don't have the patience. Shrimp in lighter dishes generally. My wife will sit down and eat darn near a dozen boiled crabs at one sitting but it's to much work for me. I like crabs but boiled crawfish is where it's at for me. My dad and I would eat a jar of pickled okra and a pound of hogshead cheese and crackers together
Use a Teflon pan to sautee the okra. No oil or butter. Medium heat. The amount of yuck that comes out is surprising. It dries on the pan as it comes out so the okra is dry.

OK on okra.

Crayfish I will tie into for this are at least as big as your crawfish. On the big ones have the meat is in the pincers. They will be boiled using a milder solution like used for lobster so spicing will have come to dish via another route.

The hogshead (we call it head cheese) was paired with crackers and sardines. Cold weather food.

Looks like we are going to do a prescribed burn on part of the cockyard today. Area to be burned connects to barn area. WIll allow planting of native species that ultimately will provide more diverse habitat. It will be the start of expanding the poultry area a lot but I must keep birds while plants come up.

Ungrateful pullet today... I was handing out treats and tossed in a piece of bagel. She kicked it back. Haven't seen a pullet do that, but couldn't get her to do it again once she realized it was food.

Birds are laying pretty well, but winter has to arrive sometime.

ha that's funny, its just over 80 here I guess were not gonna have a winter this year. Did some prepping of breeding pens gonna put 3 pullets in a pen tonight and introduce a male tomorrow hopefully it goes well. I was thinking I've actually done well this year on introducing so far it's 3 for 3 but one really doesn't count it was a cock that has a record of taking good care of his lady friends
