Yanno, I'm thinking I've never had proper gumbo? I wouldn't have had the foggiest idea how to do this.
On the other hand, I can't quite picture myself slaving over a hot stove anywhere near that long.
I know what I'll do! One of these March breaks, I'll descend on Denver (in a hotel) and get you to make some (or pull it out of the freezer for me, I really don't care which.) That way I get to try real gumbo with someone I want to visit who lives in a place I want to visit, and I don't have to cook it myself! Problem solved!
(BTW, I'm only half kidding - Denver is on my "eventual destinations" list.)
