The she crab is the one with the tail on it. She keeps the eggs there. We throw those ones back so they can make more crabs for later. You are right about "Cajun Power", that is a badass company with all kinds of good stuff. That roux stuff is ready to use. No cooking anything, just the meat.. The gumbo you have made is awesome. How much of the crabs do you eat JB? We usually just use the bodies and then crack them at the end and eat the meat with all the gumbo roux soaked in it.. Now you made me hungry.. Got to stop at store on wat home tonight. Did you hear about the front that is coming tonight? It might be 50 kts wind.
 
I can't make myself make a quick gumbo. But that looked great!

On a side note.

When you make a slow gumbo do find that it keeps growing until you have way more than you can eat??? Like left overs for days???
 
JB called last night and was in the spirits :shock: ….I told him us Yankees make the Roux from scratch :P …I don’t know what self respecting Cajun would be using Roux out the jar and frozen shrimp :? :twisted: :LOL: ;) …..Looks good anyway JB and nice talking to ya….hope you were able to decipher your writings on how I told you to make a gumbo from scratch…. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
See Ron still has that cajun pride :LOL:

And I grew up in Texas? 10 years here and 42 there. AND I LOVE an all day gumbo cook!
Why does it take all day RB? Do you catch all the ingredients too? If so, that is awesome man..
 
Well SS, when you make a gumbo from scratch you have to peel the shrimp if not done ahead of time, then clean the crabs, then cut up the Holy Trinity (onion, bellpepper and celery), then make the roux if you don't have homemade roux in fridge alraeady, then you get to put everything together let it come to a boil and then simmer for a few hours. When you are about 10 minutes or so from being done you ad the shrimp so they don't over cook and get tough. Your right Ron nothing like an all day gumbo, because when it is done you get to enjoy the hard work you put into it.
 
And not only that. The smell thoughout the house keeps you staggering and tripping over stuff, mumbling, holding your stomach, peeking in the pot, NOT answering the phone, waiting for the last minute to make the rice, and making a complete fool of yourself eating until you can't even stand up!!!!!!!

I knew I left an important part out....Thanks Ron!!
 
Looks good boy. Now I did not have the time to watch the movie but I gather that some is teasing you about ho made roux or a lack thereof so to speak. Hate being redundant all over again but the best Gumbo that I have personally ever ate don't have no roux at all. I guess it one of them fancy smancy Creole versions from Norleans. Now will give you one good flavor and health tip. Throw that country cock in the trash and get you some cow butter. Much mo betta for your health and vastly superior flavor. Now yall welcome to keep them crabs to yourselves. Just never have acquired a flavor for the meat. It too sweet or something. Now I dont mind stuffed crabs. I like the heck outta them thangs. This bizness is too strange huh?

Now a real cajun done tole me that only elderly large butted cajun ladies who makes a lot of Gumbo knows how to make good roux. He say go over here and buy roux in a jar. I bought a jar but never did get around to using it. Went to go find it just now and got the sad news the warden throwed it away at some time in the distant past. It was several years old..guessing it was aged just about right..sniff sniff.

Gumbo, no matter how ya make it, is always better the next day. It takes me all day to make it, then cool it down, put it in the reefer, and then reheat the next day. It is awesome.
