shrimp base is done, made from shells and scrappings.
Chicken boiled, stripped and is reboiling to reduce by half for the chicken stock part of the liquid.
Next: dark roux and veggies, the Andouille Sausage.
Then grill a couple chicken breasts to dice into it with the shrimp and sausage, since the base-chicken from the leftover carcass from yesterday will be tasteless goo.
Trying to decide whether or not to make it without okra this time, and just the file. I usually use both.
Maybe I’ll really get inspired and make a cheese onion bread loaf while the kitchen is warm enough to activate yeast? Do I have any yeast? Hmmm. A bakery french loaf would be easier. Decisions, decisions.
Ewww, do I have rice? Yeah, I know I do. I think….
The other funny thing? It was too cold last night to go get the firewood to warm the house up: single digits. Now its in the 30’s today, and I could go get the wood, but its almost a waste to burn it. Heh.
Ok, nice checking in with you, back to the kitchen.
I feel like I have barely time to be here since I went back to work…. miss you guys.

Singin’ the same ol’ cowboy song
That’s been sung a hundred times before
Ain’t got nothin’ but my name
And I’m the only man I know to blame
But I’m livin’ I’m happy and I’m free
Just listen to the wind blow
Let it blow let it blow
Sand over my trail
I got my saddle on the ground
And that ol’ moon he can still be found
Hidin’ in the desert sky
I like simple things in life
Like a prairie breeze
A good stout horse between my knees
Just bein’ alone just bein’ me
And when I die let me die
Withe a dream in my mind
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
And no cross on my grave
To show my restin’ place
