#10DaysofTailgate: Meet the Bloggers - Laura of Miss Laura's Kitchen

By
Counting down to #10DaysofTailgate...and meeting the folks who are making it happen. Laura is a new-to-me blogger and I am so happy to make her acquaintance. She's planning to post a recipe every single day of the event! Help me welcome to the fun and games -

Laura of Miss Laura's Kitchen
whose motto is:
Practical cooking for practically everyone!™


She typcially eschews the spotlight. Sorry, Laura, but I have to share your blog! 

Her website exists because her husband tells her she's a remarkable cook who can “Conjure up flavors from ingredients that I would never suspect could taste that good!” So, she's a culinary magician! Said hubby convinced her the stuff she considered to be pretty normal is in fact, innovative, practical, helpful, cost-conscious and worth sharing. We are so grateful that he convinced her to start a blog.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
