Roux! Please don’t let me rue my decision for what to cook ;)

Trying out a new, way-out-of-my-box recipe for our family Christmas celebration, which is today. Southern Seafood Gumbo. I made the dark brown roux yesterday without burning it -yay, and it took over 1 1/2 hours. Next time, I think I will be buying that roux.

This is the roux before it turned dark brown. I was almost an hour into it!
This is as dark as I let it get- was getting nervous. I could not stand by the stove for another 1 1/2 hours!

The jury is still out on the Gumbo. That will go together today and we’ll see how kt all tastes.
