Looks good to me. I would eat it.

Braised lamb shank over mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Looks good but i would cut the veggie a little finer and cook the gumbo a bit more. I I’d also cook down the sausage prior to the roux.

I wasn't sure how hearty or fine to cut them, I agree.

Agreed on this too. I misread the directions and cut the chicken into bite sized pieces before adding the first time. I was hesitant to cook it down too much and overcook the chicken.

I went back and forth on this. Since I fried the chicken, I wasn't too keen on adding more steps since it was already enough to do for my first time. I plan to do this as well next time.

Additionally, I didn't want a sludge gumbo like Liz's

Thanks for the insight!

Had 4 each of olde salt, rappahannock, blue point, and one other I can’t remember ($1 at Whole Foods on Friday) with homemade mignonette, then shrimp tacos with smashed avocado.

I usually brown the sausage first, then the chicken (breast)and then start the roux

Do you add the breasts whole to the gumbo then remove and chop after simmering?

White meat in gumbo is a no for me.

Supreme pizza and Christmas cookies for dessert. Spoon full of icing and sugar cookies. I didn't wait for the decorated cookies.
