Gumbo

Today I made a big pot of gumbo. I have been making this recipe for years, and it is one of my favorites. It is one of the first things I started cooking. It is a simple chicken and sausage gumbo served over rice. It is easy to make, but can be tricky because of the roux - if it burns you have to start over. After that the rest is super easy. It does take awhile to prepare - about two hours. It is worth it though. Gumbo is something that cant be rushed. I usually make a big pot full and freeze the leftovers for a quick meal later on.

Pizza and a Margarita

I did not cook today, but we did an enjoy a Big New Yorker Pizza from Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut orginally came out with the Big New Yorker around 2000. It was discontinued for awhile and was brought back a year or two ago. When it was orginally out, we would get one on Saturday nights and then watch a show that was on tv at the time called The Others . I was so excited when Pizza Hut brought them back as it always reminded of those Saturday nights. The margarita recipe I used today was featured in Eat Like A Gilmore: Daily Cravings. An Unoffical Cookbook for Fans of Gilmore Girls, With 100 New Recipes by Kristi Carlson. The recipe was well written and easy to follow. I did only make half a recipe as the orginal recipe made 3-4 margaritas. I usually do not care for margaritas, but these were pretty good.
