Hi List, I know we talked about gumbo and okra a while back but does anyone have a "good" gumbo recipe, with okra included? My brother is wanting to buy a big bunch of seafood and make gumbo. I told him I would ask and see if there were some recipes. Nobody in the family has Grandma's gumbo recipe and they can't remember what all she put in it. Why does it not taste the same as we remember?? *sighs* Thanks, tracy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
