Was reading another board where a guy posted.
For some reason, I just had a sudden hankerin' for some Jambalaya lately so I made a great big pot of it last night. I tend to make large quantities of my soups and stews and chowders and then freeze several portions in containers for quick meals when I just don't feel energetic enough to cook. I made this Jambalaya with onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and rice with a goodly helping of Cajun spices and some hot sauce. I let it simmer for about an hour and then I added generous portions of sauteed chicken and pork that I diced into bite sized morsels and then I added some diced up small diameter links of pepperoni sausage. It was pretty good last night for dinner, but it'll taste even better for dinner tonight now that it's aged a little bit! While it's re-heating on the stove tonight I'll make a big batch of cornbread in my Lodge cornbread skillets ...
(Hmmm ... I wonder what the poor people are eating for dinner tonight?)
Made me think of that Soup Nazi where Newman orders Jambalaya
One guy did set him right and say
From what I've seen, gumbo is similar, but more of a soup commonly served over rice rather than rice being cooked with it.
Jambalaya would be drier, and sort of look like Chinese fried rice that was made in Louisiana.
makes see how lucky we are
