Good 28º everything out there is frozen morning. A few
scattered clouds.
Rain started yesterday morning about 9:45 for a super short
time, sun came out, sun went away. Then about 1:45 it started coming down hard!
That lasted 5 minutes. I guess we got anywhere from 12 to 6 drops!

National Gumbo Day
It's a great opportunity, to enjoy a little Louisiana Cajun cooking. It is
easy to participate in this special day. Simply eat some Gumbo. For those of us
in the south, that is easy, as Gumbo is almost all restaurant menus. You can't
walk into a restaurant in New Orleans, that does not offer it. For Northerners,
it may take a little research, to find restaurants in your area that serve
Gumbo. Or, you may want to look a Gumbo recipe online, and make it
yourself.
Gumbo is a thick stew, with chicken, beef, or seafood. It is heavily
seasoned with cajun spices. And, it absolutely must contain Okra.
Did You Know? Gumbo is the
African word for Okra
To celebrate National Gumbo Day, just have a dish of it. The day is extra
special, if you make it
yourself.
