I love how Matt has named his cast iron skillets and gives them the love and respect they deserve. I too have a baby girl and her big sister sized skillets, perfect sizes for cooking fried eggs or a chilled cheese sandwich.

That IS the magic of gumbo. :-) It's where gumbo came from. :-P There are many recipes out there for a "proper gumbo" but honestly, it started life as "whatever Momma's got in the house", and a what makes a TRUE gumbo a gumbo... is that... whatever you've got in the house. Honestly though, if it don't got Okra in it, it's hard to call it a gumbo. :-)
