the Gumbo turned out great and I will probably have it tonight. I don't have any file on hand so I may go get some later today, the receipt was with or with out so I went without. I got the roue to a deep copper color then added the usual veges, onion, green pepper and celery, diced tomato, andouille sausage, some chopped beef brisket I smoked a few days ago, chicken, okra, and at the last moment shrimp with some fish sauce, along various seasonings. This I put over rice with some hot sauce for me, it was tempting to just eat this and forget about the tri-tip, but very happy I did the tri-tip, it was served with french fries, the meat went on a bun with mayo, horseradish, tomato, and onion , think I will be having a do over for lunch today, because it was da bomb.
My wife and I thought the potato salad sounded a bit odd, but when in Rome, are some of you saying to put the gumbo on the potato salad or on the side? Crusty bread would be nice, I happened to have cornbread already made from another meal a couple days ago so that is what I will go with. The wife got home from work and went into her yew what is that and what is in it mod, but bless her hart she tried some and said it was very good, to her, and to my surprise as well. :shocked:
