Recipe 134: Gumbo

Today, we went to a wedding at Castle in The Clouds, Moultonboro, New Hampshire. If you have never been there, I highly recommend it. It has, perhaps, one of the most beautiful views in all the world. From the flower-filled terrace overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, you have a one hundred and eighty degree view of the surrounding mountains. It was a breathtaking spot and a beautiful day for a wedding.

So, when I got back at 6:30pm, I was scrambling through the cookbook to find something quick and easy to cook. I came across Bill's recipe for Gumbo, which indeed was quick and easy.

One of the main ingredients is okra, which, here in the north, is a vegetable you can only find in the freezer department. Don't let its gooey texture put you off, as it's great for thickening a vegetable stew.

More to come tomorrow, stay tuned for another heaping helping of "Two greenhorns (still) mastering the art of vegan cooking."
