    Will try the duck fat next. I have been adding the Worcestershire sauce and it seems to really improve the flavor too. So much going on in a gumbo it’s hard to tell when you make a few changes which ones contribute the most. My favorite is chicken and sausage but think the next one will be a seafood version. Might be a turkey one with Thanksgiving being right around the corner.
  2. Freakin love French onion soup! Had every intention of making some over the weekend but didn’t get it done. That looks great.

    I made another chx and sausage gumbo today. Colder than shit up here in Amarillo and a perfect day for gumbo. This one tasted much better than my last one, I think a key difference was my roux. I have always used the fat/flour ratio of 1:1, or very close to that. I recently read that the 1:1 ratio is supposed to be by weight not volume. Thought I would experiment on today’s roux. I used 1C of oil to 1 3/4C of flour, I think it made a big difference in both taste, and the ability to get the roux darker quicker. I also used a round le creuset Dutch oven in place of my coon ass magnalite pot. My magnalite is big and oval and harder to get in the corners while stirring. Anyway, todays was much better. Any of our gumbo pro staff have opinions on roux fat to oil ratios?
  4. That looks damn good c-man.
  5. Our place is just up the road in Mills county, hope my pop up withstood that storm.
  6. That’s a shame too, he’s very talented.
  7. It was not open, that’s why the cow was so pissed off.
  8. Beef short ribs with polenta. The beef rib selection sucked at the grocery store, wanted to go to the local butcher but didn’t have time. I love braised beef ribs and they are a perfect cooler weather meal. Sorry about the bowls, we don’t have “short rib” bowls.
  9. We use those bags any time we use the crock pot, they work great and make clean up so much easier.
  10. That looks great, we had that a lot in the winter growing up. That’s a great comfort food, right up there with chicken and dumplings.
  11. Felix’s is my favorite place to eat raw oysters.
  12. I had one of those money pits as well, that fucker cost me a shit ton. I have a 2019 6.7 that’s been deleted and never a problem. It’s a long bed crew cab 4x4 and will haul the mail.
  13. Chicken and sausage, roux could be darker. This recipe makes a crap ton. Damn right that’s a hard boiled egg.
  14. Typically a big fan of Guess BBQ in Waco. Went in yesterday and the food and service were not good. Took forever to get the food and it was cold when they brought it to the table. They weren’t busy at all, not sure why the slow service. Hopefully it was just a one off.
  15. Fuck Manny dickhead Machado, carry on!
  16. Flat hot dog with grilled onions, needed more mustard.
  17. Veracruz has incredible food.
  18. Not sure about being “that guy”. Seems like when a female is wearing a male size watch it belonged to an important male person in their life. Just curious, wasn’t trying to be or imply anything.
  19. Wonder who’s sub mariner she’s wearing. She looks damn good.
  20. Great looking truck! Where was that pic taken?
  21. The aggy thread is the absolute best thread for huge fucking disappointments.
  22. I agree, I think he leaves for USC. Much easier path out West.
