Gumbo, avec vin de table blanc

This should be a good weekend. I am still in pursuit of that 50.

I made a Gumbo with black, red and white pepper and a Bay leaf a' la Paul Prudhomme that was excellent. But, I ate all of the shrimp. I did not drink all of the wine. I look forward to more of the same.

I greatly appreciate all who comment on my musings. Several friends make their livings as professional writers. One professional columnist, a good friend from long ago, said my writing was stiff. I agree...This is writing, not conversation. Hopefully, my use in conversation of parenthetical phrasing is, as nearly as I can remember, rare.

Enough navel gazing...to the kitchen!
