Attempt at Gumbo

Sometimes, we just get the craving for something spicy.  So... without any of the right ingredients (and not being a native of Louisiana), I gave it a try!  Here are the ingredients I used, and it actually turned out pretty good!

Gumbo (ish)

1. In a separate pan, cook rice.

2. Make a roux, with oil (approx. 1/4 cup) and flour (approx. 4 TBSP).

3. After it has thickened, add

- vegetable powder (dried chopped vegetables in a bottle)

- salt and pepper

- onion powder

- chili powder

- lots of Tony's

4. Add 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of water, 2 beef bouillon cubes, and salsa. (use Tabasco if you have it, but salsa worked in a pinch!)

5. Boil for up to one hour. Add sausage, chicken, shrimp, etc., and add rice.
