Only 3 spoons of flour. I guess that's a big serving spoon?

L M Pellerin did work in that book, maybe a relative of someone here.

What does cook until "greasy" mean?

My mother-in-law had a handwritten recipe like this, after failing with her dish she showed me her large kitchen spoon. A large spoon you would use to stir a big pot of gumbo.

Happy thanksgiving guys. I am thankful for TD.

I'm gonna get on my soapbox. Folks, it's really important to save old stuff like this. ULL has some, maybe all of these programs, but in case they don't please check with them. They would love to have a copy, regardless of condition.
There are very, very few printed collections of cajun recipes from the baby boom generation, and even fewer that survive. The 1st cookbook (Cajun and Creole Cookery) was an insert in the Daily Iberian from 1952. Sadly, it has all but disappeared. No one in Louisiana seems to have a copy of this.
Thanks for sharing the photos!

I've never eaten goo and don't think I've seen a recipe for it. Nice find

I stand corrected. 1/2 a teaspoon. Makes one wonder why?

That courtbouillon made with goo is money. We’ve caught goo in brackish waters that had a light pink color to them. After filleted those bones make a great stock. Thanks for posting antique
