I have been making gumbo for the past three hours, and ohmygod does my house smell amazing.

A friend told me over the weekend that she wants to hire me as a chef someday...quite the compliment for someone who, even a few years ago, was convinced that she could only bake.

Baking is probably more difficult than cooking, because it depends so much on local temperature ,humidity, and bacteria fluctuation. For example, there is no true way to get fresh San Francisco sourdough bread out side of the area, because San Francisco is an isolated micro-climate; I started off as a baker. Glad to hear that the house smelled "amazing" from cooking, that is always a good sign.

I just thought you'ld like to know that I finally got around to putting up more China pictures; I apologize for the delay.

I knew gumbo could take a significant period of time, but I have yet to come across a recipe that can take up to 2 months; I would definitely be curious to read it.
