Perfect Night For Gumbo!

[indaswamp]

Low in the 30's and raining....yep-gumbo weather!
I pulled out some frozen smoked chicken halves that needed to be consumed for the gumbo. Put those in a 4 gallon stock pot with about 1.5 gallons of water. Turned the fire on medium to let that warm up and thaw to make the smokey stock for the gumbo. Then I got the sour dough going in the bread machine for the french bread.

2 hours later...the stock

and the chicken parts cooling so I can debone them.

deboned...

3# of andouille, 3lg. onions, 1/4 bunch of celery browning down inda C.I. pot.

The French bread after rising...about to go into the oven...

File'....

Pull the bread out of the oven...

Look at that RISE!! Awesome!

The bowl...

Real good. Really hit the spot on a cold, wet, rainy night! First loaf of french bread from my starter...Wow is it good!!!!

Thanks Jake! Homemade roux too! I save up the grease I skim off gravies and such. make a big batch of roux in the fall. Hot can them and seal tight. Will last a year or more..... Almost out of roux though, but it;s fixin to get hot here in South Louisiana....one more month of cool weather then it'll be a sauna again!!!
