Is jambalaya a soup? The recipes I have are not soupy at all. I think
of okra in gumbo, but not jambalaya. But then again, I'm a
Minnesotan--what do I know?

-Barb,
Saw The Little Muffin yesterday. She didn't know I was coming to visit.
She saw my can of TaB on the counter before she saw me.
She looked at the can and said, "Baba?"

That's like saying chili is a kind of soup.

True. Sort of. In a technical sense. I suppose. Kinda...

I'm not a big pickling fan, period. A jar of regular pickles in this
house can last for years.

Hey, I don't need any help to look stupid -- I manage fine all by
myself. <g> I mistyped, I meant gumbo. I guess you could call
jambalaya a stew rather than a soup, the ones I've had have been kind of
borderline -- a thick soup or a thin stew, take your pick.
