We get mild winters, almost like a Mediterranean type climate, so Sunday lunch was in the backyard garden. Two and a half pounds crawfish or crayfish cooked in roux and seafood broth with okra, celery, andouille sausage cut into medallions and seafood seasoning, then spooned over a bowl of steamed rice. Like crawfish, some people like okra and some don't. Okra is a super food, rich in many nutrients and low in calories. We grew up eating okra, so we like the sliminess which is perfect on gumbo. Bon appetit!

Love to travel and love cooking food from many places. I think it's a great way to bring new cuisine into our home and also a fun way to create special memories with Josh. Crawfish or crayfish or "little lobsters" as Josh used to call them is what we had for our Sunday brunch with freshly picked bay leaves or laurel leaves from the backyard garden. Many people have different ways of cooking gumbo. On this video is a very simple version, a version customized to our taste buds.
