Never used red potatoes for a shepard’s pie before, but I had a bunch of them so I just made regular red mashed potato’s and spread it, skin on an everything. Not sure if I’m happy how the top looks with those skins in it, but the taste came out great.

So much went unpictured today... the antipasto, the macaroni, three different stuffings, all the desserts, all the sides, cornbread, rolls, wine... But I was very happy with how my turkey came out so I grabbed a picture of that. And my mom’s gravy... meatballs, sausage, and pork (the real star of the show)

No special event this side of the pond so I made General Tso's chicken with a cucumber sesame salad.

We did a non-turkey thanksgiving because nobody wanted it...so Beef Wellington was the centerpiece instead. Went the sous vide route for the meat and it turned out better than I had expected.

I didn't put too much onions. Three small onions that's all I did.

Three onions? How many cans of tomatoes you put in there?

Did a few days worth of research, thanks to the discussions from Louisiana home cooks on the internet, and made gumbo. Was absolutely phenomenal and I'll be making this again anytime the craving hits.

Welcome gumbo friend. It’s the perfect cold weather dish. Also it’s even better the second day and freezes really well.

Can’t believe I’ve never made gumbo before. Need to do it soon.

Unsolicited tips: 1. Use homemade stock if possible 2. Make sure the stock is at a fast rolling boil before adding the roux (so start heating it while you make the roux—don’t wait) 3. Don’t try to get too dark with the roux. Milk chocolate is plenty dark. Remember you can always turn the heat down to make the roux more manageable—the darker it gets, the quicker it darkens (and eventually burns) 4. Add onions to the roux and let them cook a bit in there. It’ll get darker 5. Add the roux to the stock, not the other way around. You can do either way but this way is better. 6. Set aside an hour for the prep/roux making process.

Phil Moscowitz posted:2. Make sure the stock is at a fast rolling boil before adding the roux (so start heating it while you make the roux—don’t wait) Strong disagree on all of these points. 1 and 5. I much prefer adding a few additions of not hot stock to the veg/roux mixture and stirring at each interval before cranking the heat to bring it up. 3. Take it super slow the first few times, but milk chocolate roux makes for a super disappointing gumbo, for me. Luckily it’s gumbo. We’re both right/wrong. Except the roux. If it doesn’t look like 80% dark chocolate, keep going.

Doom Rooster posted:Strong disagree on all of these points. Sorry you’ve never had really good gumbo lol (Just kidding of course we’re both right) I’ve probably made hundreds of gumbos of all kinds. I used to always add stock to roux. Then I did it the other way just to see, and now I always add the roux to the stock. It’s 100% better every single time. Adding less than boiling stock to roux leaves you susceptible to separation. Especially if you’ve taken the roux too dark. Which sucks if you ruin your wonderful homemade stock. There’s a scientific basis for this involving starch molecules and gelatinization and poo poo but I’m too lazy to look it up. I can promise you if you want to avoid ever having separation, make the stock boil like crazy and add your roux to it. As far as color, we’re probably talking about the same color. I add onions when it’s a milk chocolate color—like a Hershey bar, not like peanut butter or chocolate milk—for a few minutes. Then it gets darker. But bringing a roux to the kind of very dark brown you see on some YouTube videos is not good. It’s bitter and thin. And unless you really know what you’re doing it won’t turn out good. Here's a couple old roux making posts of mine, so you can see kind of what I'm talking about. Phil Moscowitz posted:Made a seafood gumbo last night. Since we were recently talking about roux and different ways of making it, here is the 25-minute, one-mint-julep method. Phil Moscowitz posted:Today I made some chicken and andouille gumbo in honor of the start of college football. Phil Moscowitz posted:Here's an example of a dark roux, so dark that I had to whip the poo poo out of it to get it back together with the stock because it wanted to separate. But the flavor is something else. These pics are at 0 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes at high heat, then after another 5 with the onions in it.

I've done it sort of both ways and over the years kind of change from one method to the other or make the change depending on how big of a batch I'm cooking or if I'm cooking at a friend's kitchen or outdoors etc. Largely it's always going to work out fine. The only thing that is never quite great is getting the roux a little too light but even that is barely much of a problem if you've got a lot of other good ingredients going in it. Homemade stock is so much better than canned or boxed stuff I would say really at this point it should be considered almost mandatory. If you've never made it before it's probably fine to just use whatever you've got but once you get the hang of it you definitely want to make the switch to homemade stock.

I want to love gumbo so bad but I hate okra to the extent that I think there is some grand conspiracy against me. Like everyone except me got together and agreed that they'd pretend to love the most disgusting plant they could possibly find.

But don’t worry, you can make gumbo without okra! It’s totally allowed! But seriously, maybe you had some bad okra. Okra is great, but sometimes it’s really fibrous and awful. I’ve had it served to me in restaurants before where it was garbage.
