Gumbo is Worth a Thousand Ingredients

Photos are worth a thousand words, which is funny comparing this saying to gumbo. In fact gumbo has a lot of ingredients making it relevant to the saying "pictures are worth a thousand words."

When cooking gumbo you have to have a starting point and that begins with the cookbook and seeing what your creation is supposed to look like. The picture to the right is what my gumbo should look like.

Next you will need to know what dishes you need to cook your food. Notice that I have a big pot for the actual gumbo and another for rice.

 

Next you need to know what is in your inventory so you can prepare you some good food. The shrimp and sausage is what is going in my pot. If I had no shrimp then it means I will put in some chicken because you can cook gumbo in many ways.

Next you need to see what else needs to be put in the pot, which looks like I do not need anything else.

The final step is to look at your creation and be proud of what you did.
