Cajun Cookin' For Lunch


I made a Cajun Gumbo for lunch, using shrimp, sole, a tiny bit of octupus and squid (left-over from someone's lunch out), and some little hamburger balls. I simmered the vegetables in a spicy broth, then added the fish and meatballs. I thickened the broth just a little with flour, to make it richer.

It is supposed to be eaten with cornbread and coleslaw, but, my sons devoured it without - double helpings.

I'll make the cornbread later, in time for dinner. I have a feeling this gumbo isn't going to last long.
