    Yes. Catered 2 small party's today. Not a lot of money but gave me something to do with the cold weather.

    damn YouTube been looking at everything you can do with gumbo, at least I know if I can't get the crab there are a TON of options.

    To anyone following my recipe above, in a haste to type, I left out File. File is a must for authenticity. My apologies.

    Absolutely you can make the roux ahead of time. You can actually freeze roux for up to 6 months. It freezes very well.

    This ^^^^^^^ is correct. You do not want to scorch it. Depending on the amount, it usually takes me 25-40 minutes to make roux.

    @SGH is an amazing help to this forum. Other than his hog slaughter, I've picked up tremendous tips from that dude.

    Yeah I knew there would be mixed feelings about the slaughter. It did not bother me as growing up in Iowa I have seen it 100s of times, but he is a wealth of knowlage for sure.

    Thanks for the very kind words fellows. I really appreciate it. But for the record, I just make up most of the stuff that I post ;)

    Well to be fair, he prefaced the post with a warning. If anybody was offended its on themelves for opening the thread. 

    The gumbo looks awesome. I'm gonna have to make some now, but seafood's hard to come by around here. I usually go with chicken and sausage gumbo.

    A little late, but when making shrimp stock, bake the shells in the oven first until they are just pink (about 5 minutes).  Throw some fennel and orange peels in the stock as well.
