Good point. And look, cooking is very personal and unique. What works best for me doesn't mean it works best for everyone else. Everything I've done, it's been through trial and error. And I never use a recipe, so the older I get, the less confident I am in the final product because now that the kids are moved out, I don't cook as often. It's amazing how hard it is to cook the same thing when you don't practice regularly.

My boy helped me make the gumbo the other day. Helped with the browning, helped make the roux. He was so excited. It made me so happy to have him there and teaching him, passing on the “secrets” that were passed on to me from the old men. Made me feel a little old too, but I guess i’m Not young anymore. It was special. Gumbo came out awesome too.
