Gumbo and Roux

• Mama just made a great gumbo!  That's all there is to it.
• This recipe is all mine.  I copied lots from Mama's Gumbo and learned some from my sis-in-law (Jane), but the rest is me!
• A good roux takes time, a beer or a glass of wine, and lots of patience.   It should be the color of milk chocolate when ready.  It should never be burnt.  If it burns, throw it out and start over.
