1. My favorite color is green.
2. My favorite food is pizza.
3. My first college degree was in broadcasting, my dream was to be a D.J. in NYC!
4. My favorite movie, Footloose (the one made 1984.)
5. My favorite actor, Kevin Bacon.
6. I love watching football, my team is San Francisco 49er’s.
7. I would love to live in a small town in Canada someday.
8. I have a severe hearing impairment, so I read lips VERY well.
9. I love all animals, and the only kids I have are furry & precious!
10. True confession: I break out in a dance if the food I am eating is that amazing!


Come back on September 20th when we kick off #10DaysofTailgate. Thanks for joining in the fun, Terra! I love that half of her recipes planned are cocktails. She's my kinda gal.

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.

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!

Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...
