Like the tuna noodle casserole on Welcome Back Kotter.

You just have to suck it up and eat it for the rest of your life.

No, but speaking of which the sex hasn't been great as of late either. That's part of the reason I'm ready to tell her about the gumbo. If she holds out on the sex it won't be the worst thing in the world
I got a friend that she should meet

He goes by "Muppett"

You're screwed. I suggest you keep your mouth shut.

Yikes! Seems like gumbo may be the least of your worries

Tell your wife that your tastes have changed over the years and you are now "starting" to prefer "stronger favors in your gumbo"

Are you telling me to try to set up a threesome with a black chick?

Now that you raised your voice with me, no. I'm not.

What's the best way to go about this?



Just tell her that she's been making the same exact gumbo recipe for 8 years and you'd like to try something different in the gumbo.

If it's watery add chicken stock when she's not looking.

"Honey, I've got some bad news to tell you."

"Oh my god, what is it?"

"Your mother was diagnosed today will terminal cancer."

"What?! No, this can't be true!"

"You're right, it's not true. Your mom is fine. But your gumbo sucks."

I've never actually watched her make it but I think she uses pre made roux, okra, chicken, sausage. Surely she must dump about 8 gallons of water in there but I can't be sure

Act like she's making it different than in the past and put Zatarain's/Chachere's in it, while she's watching, to your liking. Play dumb and she'll get the hint to cook it better. You may have to eat 2 more sub par gumbos during this process.

Substitute "frick" for gumbo and it's a funny story.

Jeebus, there are some seriously wimpy arse men up in here. Just tell her it sucks and what it needs to be better.

And considering you are worried about not getting any, then you should deliver an all out assault on her crappy gumbo. Nothing to lose. Makeup sex is the shite.

Tell her that you tried some other one that you liked but wasn't as good as hers but liked the texture and whatever spice you think it needs.

Ask her to try it and see how it turns out. That way it's still mostly hers but can be tailored to you.

Let's not have gumbo for two years. I'm over it. Maybe in a few years.
Let's look at recipes together. I bet we find a couple we both would enjoy.

Go get fast food when she makes it or just tell you don't like her gumbo and you ate when y'all were dating so you could grab her pussy.

I hate okra so gumbo is out for me.

Just say your body is telling you " no okra. "

Tell her you want to learn to cook gumbo, then slowly REALLY learn how from some one who knows how to make gumbo- then you become the the gumbo king of your house
