First You Make A Roux

It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, I'm not talking about Christmas, I'm talking about gumbo. Cold weather is gumbo weather. Well, it's a little optimistic of me to say cold weather. It was cold this weekend so I took advantage of one of our random, wintery cold fronts and made some chicken and andouille gumbo. While I could go on and on about the freshness and great smoky flavor of Jacob's andouille sausage, I wanted this post to showcase the roux. As we all know, this is where a good gumbo starts. Although I could talk about making a roux, Lauren and I thought watching it being made would be more fun. Enjoy the cool weather and make yourself some of dat dere gumbo, cher.
