Best Peppers in the World

If you don't have some, you need to go get some.  They are hard to find, so stock up when you do find them.  A good flavorful pepper that's not too hot.  Also try the jalepeno.  Good flavor, a little more heat, great crunch, no soggy peppers here. The jalepenos are much easier to find.

Roux the Day!

Much Ado About Gumbo

This is my very first roux.  It's a medium roux, came out absolutely perfect the first time.  I was very surprised after hearing all of the roux horror stories, with visions of burnt roux in my head I persevered. I thought I would be over the stove for hours stirring, and stirring, and stirring.  It was not that serious.  My roux advice would be: keep the heat low and stay in the kitchen.  Now you too, can roux the day!
