From when we lived in Houma, LA.

Christmas Gumbo

1. 1 pound smoked andouille sausage
2. 1 pound fresh gulf shrimp
3. 1 pound Louisiana crawfish
4. 4 cloves fresh chopped garlic
5. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
6. 2 tablespoons of salt
7. 1 cup wine
8. 2 quarts freshly cut okra
9. 2 quarts diced tomatoes
10. 1 cup chopped onion
11. 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
12. 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
13. 2 cups rice

Add all ingredients except rice into a crock pot and set on low. After 6 hours, add 2 cups rice. Let cook two more hours.

Take everything and throw it out back on the compost pile because the okra ruined everything.

LOL! I like okra!

LOL! Triple LOL!

More seriously, I prepare food in advance, and usually have a vegie stew with white jasmine rice on Christmas eve.

Away with diets and heathy eating! I eat wholemeal rice for the rest of the year.

The left over jasmine rice appears the next day made into a rice salad, served with roast meats.
