Among other things, had to quit eating grains about 3 years ago.
Since then I have had one bowl of gumbo and rice at each Christmas.
Took over for Mom cooking the family holiday gumbo and dirty rice about 20 years before that.
Like a perpetual Lent penance ... a cruelty that no one from S Louisiana should ever have to bear.
Mais, no rice? Dat ain’t no good, no.
Me with no shellfish and you with no rice, we done let down our ancestors.
