-1 , feels like -21 degrees ... Definitely gumbo weather

[Cajun Blake]

in Chicago for a college recruiting trip (swimming) with my son and wife

Had a chance to visit with my great aunt who turned 90 yrs young and cooked my famous chicken & sausage gumbo for 18 family members. Uncle Louie never had gumbo before and went back for 5 bowls

Growing up in South Louisiana , food and family are everything. I'm truly blessed to know a little bit about cooking and to share my Cajun groceries with Northerers who I've spoiled

Mason (son) has decisions to make about swimming in college , and I now know that -21 degree wind chill is absolutely brutal

served them this

Made your recipe tonight for my kiddos. Came out great. We kinda had kitchen sink gumbo. Last of the deer sausage, 3 of this year's ducks, a goose from last year and a pound of shrimp from the store. Redheads can be pretty gamey but they are tender and delicious in gumbo!

No, they were smart and stayed home to keep warm

Yep, Mason is a 17 yr old Senior and time flies way to fast with kids . Morgan is a Freshman in HS and also swims. She will be better than Mason by the time she graduates.


Fwiw- WGN weather dude just said it's gonna be -5 degrees with -30 wind chill tomorrow . I need warmer clothes

Well done Blake . PM me that recipe unless it's top secret family only business. Good luck on the visit!

Your gumbo looks great! Best wishes for your son

-1... I think they call that ice-skating, not swimming!!!

I kid, I kid... Gumbo looks right as the mail, and I wish your son luck in his decisions.
