re: How do I tell my wife that I don't like her gumbo?

For starters, looks like she doesn't know how to make a roux.

Prolly too much liquid, to boot. Not even gonna get started on making stock or seasoning...

Take her out to a joint or friend's where you know the gumbo is aces and then tell her, 'Honey, I never thought I'd taste better gumbo than yours but what we just had was AMAZING!!!!! Let's get that recipe and learn how to make it. Hey, then we can tell everyone that your gumbo is even more wonderful!'

If she doesn't buy that, you're fricked.
