Steps:
- Warm 1 cup oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven until hot. Add the flour to the pot all at once, whisking until the consistency is uniform. Cook the roux, whisking occasionally, until it is the color of a tarnished penny, about 20 minutes. Do not let it darken any further. Carefully add the celery, bell peppers, onion, chopped scallions and garlic to the pot, working away from you as the hot roux may spatter. Stir with a wooden spoon until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add enough stock to just cover the vegetables, about 1 quart, and stir to combine. The roux may separate. Add the tomatoes with their juices, andouille and smoked sausages, cayenne, bay leaves, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper and the remaining stock, about 1 more quart. Partially cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the okra and cook, stirring, until the gel dries out slightly, about 3 minutes. Add to the Dutch oven.
- Taste the gumbo for seasoning and adjust as desired. Add the chicken, cook until warmed through and serve, or simmer up to 2 hours more to concentrate the flavors, adding the chicken 20 minutes before serving.
- Sprinkle with the reserved sliced scallions and serve over rice. Serve with hot sauce and file powder if using.
VALERIE'S BOLOGNESE SAUCE
I wanted a good meat sauce, but was having trouble finding that one recipe that knocked my socks off, so I altered a few and came up with my own. Of course, it goes well with all types of pasta and in the traditional Spaghetti ala Bolognese. But I also use this as my sauce in lasagna, baked ziti, pizza - you name it. It gives everything that extra oomph!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until the vegetables are soft and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Place the ground beef into the pan, and cook and stir, breaking the meat apart as it cooks, until well browned, about 10 more minutes. Pour in the red wine, bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid is almost absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the milk and nutmeg, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk is almost absorbed, 10 more minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, sugar, and oregano, bring to a simmer, and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

QUICK 'N EASY GUMBO
Here's an easy recipe for nice gumbo that you can play with. I rarely follow recipes as I think cooking should be an adventure and I enjoy the surprise of each preparation's variations. But I like the shopping list aspect of this site, so I thought I'd plug this one in for myself. I suggest you take this list to the market and then see what's fresh and inspiring to you, like free range chicken or fresh shrimp or crab or shells and then just toss in liberal amounts. What's the worse that could happen? :)

Steps:
- Pour a glass of nice red wine and have a drink.
- Put some Italian opera on the stereo and turn volume up.
- Start a big pot of rice, I prefer white rice to serve this gumbo over.
- Rice is on the top shelf to the right.
- Cut meat into nice bite-sized slices, keeping fingers clear of blade.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a big pot and slowly saute meat with garlic and onions.
- Try not to eat too much of the meat while you cook or allow family members to.
- Precooked meats like the pork will speed process.
- Uncooked meats like chicken or shrimp can be quickly boiled in chicken broth and tossed in later.
- Never under cook chicken.
- Saute until lightly browned.
- Add broth to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to medium and then add all the other ingredients one at a time starting with firmer vegetables first (they need more cooking) and soft last.
- Toss in spices last.
- Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are blended and cooked to your liking.
- Not over cooked or too soft is how I like it.
- Maybe fifteen minutes tops.
- The longer you cook the more the flavors will blend, but I prefer separate identifiable flavors so I cook less.
- Now taste your results being careful not to burn your tongue no matter how hungry you are.
- You're going to need that tongue later.
- Add ingredients according to your liking.
- I like to toss in some of the wine I'm drinking and I always add more garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't make it too spicy or your wife will not enjoy it.
- Serve over rice in big bowls.
- Put salt and pepper and Tabasco on the table for others to adjust flavors to their liking.
- You can now add more Tabasco to your own bowl and give your wife a wink.
- Turn off the TV and try talking to each other for a change.
- Finish the bottle of wine and go for a walk around the neighborhood after dinner to aid digestion.
- Enjoy!
