DVDs and Blu-rays

 

Not counting the TV box sets, I have a little over 600 DVDs and Blu-rays. The problem was getting them shelved in one space since I also have over 3000 books.

Gumbo 2025

 

A unique gumbo. The chicken was cooked with Rotel tomato, and tomato in gumbo is just not done, but I dumped everything in to preserve the flavor. Andouille sausage. I can make a dark roux in 12 min. now, but 10 min. or less takes nerves of steel.

Pepper Chicken

 

No whole chickens at the grocery so this version of chicken and peppers with big chicken breasts will sit in the fridge overnight to soak up flavor and be turned into chicken and sausage gumbo tomorrow. Sliced the chicken into thick pieces so the pepper juice can get in.

One can Rotel tomatoes, one little can green chilis, half an onion, one clove garlic, beer.

1979-82 CBS. Wayne Rogers, Lynn Redgrave, Candice Azzara, David Wayne.
