My husband is a Southern Gentleman ? and claimed my gumbo was the best he's
ever tasted. He sat me down on a stool while I stirred the roux for about
an hour to get a chocolate color. I have enough to feed an army, too, but,
then again, my husband *IS* The Fat Man and can eat an army's worth in one
sitting. I'm hoping the flavor will be better today.
