View attachment 1965189

I went to Kentucky and ate at a place called Gumbo YaYa... It was the best gumbo ever and they had plant based for people like me. DH got some kind with meat.

@BullChick thank you. I'll look at it a bit more.

I have a cone made from a gallon water jug, we made it when we had to euthanize a duck.

I'm going to see if I can rehome this rooster first because he is a nice looking one, but I'm not sure anyone will want him.

Had this for dinner' It is a carry out from a local Greek Restaurant.

Grass,,, Grilled Chicken breast,,, underneath it a piece of Gyros meat,, The Brown Ball is Falafel,, and Saffron Rice. Saffron spice has to be used with care. I don't have any in the house.
I'm not sure if restaurant uses Real Saffron or a substitute.

Turmeric is a member of the ginger family is the most widely recommended saffron substitute.
REGARDLESS,,,, that rice was

I would probably like the plant based. DH loved the gumbo, but I Don't like sausage, so the andouille was too strong of an ingredient for me.

It looks delicious. Why does saffron need to be used with care?

I think if you use too much saffron it ruins the dish, I watch a lot of cooking shows.

Oh, I see. I haven't used it, but turmeric is in a few of my recipes.

I don't use turmeric, maybe I should start using it. I have some in my cupboard because I put it in my dog's food.
