So she broke her no summer Gumbo rule. She says all the time It's too hot "Fur Gumbo" Or so she says.
As that's what her Grand Ma used to say
Not like we don't not have central A/C.
So 8 pounds chicken, I cut up. 3 pounds Sausage I cut up, 5 pounds Shrimp.
Not like it was hard as I have everything else I have cut up in bags frozen.
So "Formally freash" Okra, Onions, and Shallots. Garlic already minced!
{note} none of which is hardly visible now that it is cooked except the Okra some.
She was quickly off to the races pouring Olive Oil and making a roux.
Before we knew it we had 40 quarts of pure goodness. And that whole Home Gumbo smell.
With the homemade Bread Baking to top it off.
All kidding aside. It must have really sucked living with no A/C back in the day. That is "Back Before Power" My dads home was built with a whole home fan and we opened windows. But he soon got one window unit for the main area.
