Hey, Jack, so am I. In fact, tonight we're having the second half of
Wednesday's chicken and sausage effort. One time a friend asked me how
to make a gumbo. I said, make a dark roux, add the trinity, then look
around for something you have that's either already dead or that you
can kill and get ready real fast.
