Can anyone from South Louisiana tell me how to make a gumbo with roux that you buy in a jar?

I am going to attempt to cook a duck, hen, and sausage gumbo for the first time and I’m not really sure how to do it. I’ve been looking for recipes online but all of them include how to make the roux from scratch. I just wanted to use Kary’s Dark Roux. Can anyone tell me how to make the gumbo with the Kary’s roux? Thanks.

All you have to do is put your jar roux in the pan first and start with you ingredients. Usually I make it from scratch, but you can put it in the pan and add the onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and the vegetables are tender. Usually we have beef cubes in ours to add flavor. But to answer your question just start out with it in the pan and heat it and go from there.

New Flash….Home Cooking Dangerous?

To all my Ladies out there slaving away in the kitchen, cease with all cooking activity immediately until further notice. If your family must eat, have a can of black olives. Sardines are acceptable, but only with Louisiana Hot Sauce. Apparently home cooking is more dangerous than restaurant food. I know that you will be troubled by these dark times. But have faith, you soon will be back in the holiest room in your temple. I swear it!

theshadowknows,
Don’t forget the red wine, you’ll need them to fight all those free radicals.

Lol, my home cooking is just fine. There’s a good balance of the 4 basic food groups. Sure, too much red meat isn’t good for you, but I’m not giving up my steak and potatoes. ( Medium rare, thank-you.)

It’s like anything else, you use moderation. Watch your butter, fatty sauces, calorie laden desserts; but good food is one of the pleasures of life.

Can anyone tell me what school district would my child attend if I moved to Topys Louisiana.?

It would be Middle / High school. I would also like to know what type of sports programs are available.

I’m origianlly from Louisiana and both my memory and a Yahoo seach knew of a place called "Topys". Could you be a little more accurate, then I can help.

The truth is, Louisiana has an absolutely dreadful public school system in nearly every parish. Sending your kid to public school there is like a life sentence, because a crappy education IS a life sentence.

Hate to be so blunt but it’s true.

The State protects this sacred "homestead exemption" on property taxes and the schools suffer for funding and attention as a result. Better find out where you are moving and get your kids in private school….or else!
