Ok...
I am really starting to miss a few comforts from home...Cap'n Crunch,Krispy Kreme donuts,REAL peanut butter...even white castle!

But what would like to ask is,
Can anybody give me a good recipe for:
GUMBO ( any and all,chicken, crawdad, shrimp..well...maybe not crawdad.They have no idea what a crawdad is and would probably be freaked a little)

And a good CHILI!

My God,these people think you can cook chili out of a can and have it ready in 20 minutes! Heathens I tell you....HEATHENS!

Thanks y'all!

Classic Creole Gumbo

3/4 cup bacon fat
3/4 cup flour
2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped okra
1 green bell pepper, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, mashed
8 cups chicken or beef stock
1 can (8 oz) tomato paste
2 teaspoons Maison Louisianne Creole Spices
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
4 beef bouillon cubes
2-3 quarts cooked chicken or turkey, in chunks, and or raw peeled shrimp
Tobasco to taste (optional)

Melt bacon fat. Add flour, and stir constantly over medium heat until dark brown, taking care not to burn. This takes 30 minutes. If mixture smells liked burned bacon, throw away and begin again. Lower heat and add okra, green pepper, celery, onions, and garlic. sauté until onions are soft. Add stock, tomato paste, seasonings, and bouillon cubes. Correct seasonings. Simmer for 2 hours. Add chicken, turkey, and or shrimp 15 minutes before serving. Add Tobasco to taste. Freezes well.

Yields 5-6 quarts.



Check out foodnetwork.com for a bunch of great recipes. I've been experimenting with some of the recipes on the site. I tried one of the salmon recipes for my girlfriends birthday back in January and she's still talking about it in April.

Krispy Kremes in the UK
Not sure how close you are to any of those places, but it's a start. There's also franchising information there to start your own!

White Castles you can get frozen, so we can check into shipping you some in dry ice or something.
