[...] as I’m shallow like that. I based the meal around the Loaded Potato Casserole, also making fried chicken, and green [...]

Yes, you can use canola oil, but peanut is superior. Well, unless you're allergic. . .

Oh yummy! If it wasn't pouring rain and too late to start playing around with dinner, I would be running to the store for the stuff to make it. What if you don't use peanut oil in your house? Is canola oil ok?

For my Fearless Friday, I will tell about the Gumbo I made last week. I made chicken, shrimp & sausage gumbo from scratch, it was really easy, my family went nuts over it. I myself did not indulge as I'm as picky as a 5 year old, I digress, it was fun and easy.
I had no andouille (sp?) so I used kielbasa instead, just dice it up and throw it in the pot. I cheated and bought already shelled & deveinded shirimp to make it easy on me. The only part that made me nervous was making the brick roux. I've made plenty of rouxes in my time, just never took them quite that dark, but that is what you need for the flavor. I had traded some homemade bread for some fresh okra at the farmer's market and that is what spurred me to make this dish. I chopped up the sticky okra and threw it in with some homemade chicken stock and let that and the roux become one. Added the chicken to cook, then the sausage and the shrimp last. Seasoned and let it simmer to thicken up. I may have added a bit too much stock because it was not as thick as I thought it should be, but no one complained. I made a pot of rice and that was dinner. Fun, and fearless!

Oh yeah, for my fearless Friday…I made tamale pie for the first time a couple of days ago and a batch of chicken and dumplings all by myself last night…it came out so yummy.

That sounds almost like my mom's fried chicken! Except, we only use flour with salt, pepper, and garlic. For some reason, everything has salt, pepper, and garlic in it, whether it's baked, fried, or grilled. Maybe it's a Texas thing?

We had one of those. I do believe my children commandeered it for a short-lived run as tennis racket.

I totally forgot that I'd picked up one of those a couple of months ago! Hubby wanted to used it for something, and we got it home and it turned out it wouldn't work after all, and it's just been sitting in the cupboard, neglected!
