Looks great CF! Did you say if the AC will be working when you are all done? They wanted a shit ton to make the factory AC work in our 65, I passed on it for now, maybe forever.
Will try the duck fat next. I have been adding the Worcestershire sauce and it seems to really improve the flavor too. So much going on in a gumbo it’s hard to tell when you make a few changes which ones contribute the most. My favorite is chicken and sausage but think the next one will be a seafood version. Might be a turkey one with Thanksgiving being right around the corner.
I made another chx and sausage gumbo today. Colder than shit up here in Amarillo and a perfect day for gumbo. This one tasted much better than my last one, I think a key difference was my roux. I have always used the fat/flour ratio of 1:1, or very close to that. I recently read that the 1:1 ratio is supposed to be by weight not volume. Thought I would experiment on today’s roux. I used 1C of oil to 1 3/4C of flour, I think it made a big difference in both taste, and the ability to get the roux darker quicker. I also used a round le creuset Dutch oven in place of my coon ass magnalite pot. My magnalite is big and oval and harder to get in the corners while stirring. Anyway, todays was much better. Any of our gumbo pro staff have opinions on roux fat to oil ratios?
Beef short ribs with polenta. The beef rib selection sucked at the grocery store, wanted to go to the local butcher but didn’t have time.
I love braised beef ribs and they are a perfect cooler weather meal. Sorry about the bowls, we don’t have “short rib” bowls.
I had one of those money pits as well, that fucker cost me a shit ton. I have a 2019 6.7 that’s been deleted and never a problem. It’s a long bed crew cab 4x4 and will haul the mail.
Typically a big fan of Guess BBQ in Waco. Went in yesterday and the food and service were not good. Took forever to get the food and it was cold when they brought it to the table. They weren’t busy at all, not sure why the slow service. Hopefully it was just a one off.
Not sure about being “that guy”. Seems like when a female is wearing a male size watch it belonged to an important male person in their life. Just curious, wasn’t trying to be or imply anything.
