what's for dinner /ck/?
i cook almost every night but tonight my fiancee made dinner. she grew up in louisiana in a cajun house hold and it's about all she can cook. i don't get it. woman cant make a burger to save her life but can murder some etouffee or gumbo.
she just spent 5 hours making chicken gumbo from scratch
>dark roux
> add the trinity of onions, bellpepper and celery
>add garlic
>add beer, she used shiner bock because it's my favorite and i drank the rest.
>scratch made chicken stock. she used drums and tenders because that was what was cheap and ready at the time and we wanted dark and light meat. a whole chicken whould have been overkill.
>bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, paprika, black pepper, tony chachere's and hot sauce.
>served with white rice.

FUCK i love it when other people cook good food for me. i know that might be a bit silly but since i cook my own dinners basically 7 days a week it's really a special treat for me.

i know it doesn't look amazing but good gumbo never does.

Trying to fast / stretch out the last of my food before I go to the store next week, but tonight I threw some shit together.
>leftover stew meat I spiced up and cooked in sweated onion and garlic
>cup of basmati rice
>green peas and diced corn
It was like a retarded asian shepherds pie, and it was delicious. Coupled it with some episodes of Star Trek and had myself quite a comfy dinner.

all good gumbo does.
proper gumo is slow cooked as fuck and dark. good looking gumbo usually taste like soup based broth, like chicken noodle soup with sausage. this is not proper gumbo. >>12601887
i would give it a shot. needs mashed potatoes on top if we are going for shepards pie though. i've been watching stranger things instead of star trek for the past couple of weeks but i can roll with almost anything sci-fi.

Fuck I love gumbo.


I had friends over and did a tomato mozzarella salad with balsamic soy vinaigrette, seared corn and zuchinni, and braised chicken quarters.
