cassidyroseI made black-eyed pea gumbo tonight which delighted ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ptor and mostly amused S. (He kept saying "GUMBO!!!"). We had it over brown rice and I added Tabasco to mine and found the whole thing rather tasty. I also made corn bread in my brand new cast iron skillet (yay!) from corn flour that we got at Ardenwood's harvest festival. That was also very good and interesting looking as the corn flour is blue, green and red--very cool. I have a dessert in the oven for a holiday treat (cinnamon coconut pastry thing).
Yay from a yummy new year's eve dinner.
On the downside we've already heard one gunshot nearby. Bleah.

Happy New Year to you!
