A few years ago I started cooking gumbo over the Christmas/New
Year’s break. It was a time when work was slow and I could find a day
off. Then came along two busy little
boys and it was very rare I was home for a day alone to enjoy some extended time in
the kitchen. The Christmas/New Year’s break often gave me at least one
day when school was open that I could have a mommy day. It was also a great way to clean out the
freezer that was normally piled up with duck by this time of the year. I had no idea I was starting a family
tradition. Kevin started helping a few
years ago and this year Drew was big enough to help. The pot gets bigger and bigger every year. This year we spent 8 hours cooking and put up
25 quarts of gumbo. So much fun and good
eating for the rest of the winter! Gonna have to have a commercial grade stove for next year's cooking...working on finding us one!
New Years' Eve with the Adams and Mr. Justin.
It isn't a party until some Superheros show up!
