I made a big pot of Gumbo with the leftover turkey and some Anduille sausage from my favorite smokehouse back in Louisiana.

Now that sounds awesome. I love authentic Gumbo.

The next time you pass through Gainesville, give me a call. I usually have some in the freezer. It is authentic as it gets. I grew up eating it in Plaquemine, LA (not Lower Alabama).

Let me know a while before you come and I will make a fresh pot. I love to cook but my wife is not a big fan of gumbo. She calls it "connector stew" and when I grab the turkey or chicken scraps and start boiling them for a stock she cringes. She also hates okra, which I like to use in it. Nothing like a real stock for starters, and I do my best to get (almost) all of the connectors out. She, of course, finds the ones that I miss. The boys love it, as long as I put lots of andouille in it.

Cooking sure beats shopping, IMNSHO. I send Juli and her sister shopping on Black Friday and stay home an cook.

We were back in BR spending Thanksgiving with family. I went across the river to Addis to Benoit's (pronounce that Ben-wahs), where they have the best andouille.

Well overlook the UGA business. After all, I have 2 degrees from LSU and make out OK here in Gainesville.
