I Made Something!
I made what I like to call a 'Faux-Bo' on Sunday. Chicken. Andouille sausage. Red Peppers. Orange Peppers. Okra. Diced tomatoes. Chicken stock. Spices. No shrimp. No roux. Pretty good.

I went through a serious cajun phase a long time ago, and bemoaned that all my favorite dishes had at least a pound of butter in them. Then Paul Prudhomme of the cookbook and restaurant fame dropped a ton of weight and reworked his recipes. Roux could be made, not as richly as with flour and butter/oil and stock, but with toasted flour and water. Still got the enhancement of a roux without the oil or butter...It took me a minute to "get" Faux-bo...Funny!
