Lazy Days

It was my total intention to lay around and do nothing all day today..... It is raining and gross outside so lounging sounds like a good idea. But, we are running out of clean things to wear so I might have to do a few loads of laundry. People are coming over for dinner tomorrow so I should probably clean the house. They will need something to eat on, so that means I have to do dishes. And I might even have to venture outside into the gross to get a few more things for dinner. We're having Gumbo Yum Yum! Cross your fingers I do it right.... I always get nervous every time I make it. Especially when people have it for the first time, I feel like they are judging my cooking LoL. Silly I know, but Brett and I love cooking for lots of people so we always want to make sure people actually enjoy our food. So if any of you feel like making the trip, head on out to Des Moines around 5:30!!

Please share your recipe.
Do you make your own roux?
Or do you get the jars at home?
I've never tried to make gumbo.
I love etouffee and have always wanted to perfect that!
