#10DaysofTailgate: Meet the Bloggers - Lauren of Sew You Think You Can Cook

By
We are exactly two weeks from kicking off our #10DaysofTailgate event! The blogger we're meeting today runs predominately a food blog but will occasionally take on the guise of a crafting blog, a party blog, and a travel blog. She's an aerospace engineer, but hopes to one day gain the courage to transition into the culinary world and become a caterer. Her hobbies include cooking, quilting, cross stitch, and now blogging! I love that her kryptonite = kitchen towels, holiday decorations, and Coach.

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!
