Gumbo on Christmas Day
On a cold and windy day, Gumbo is the perfect food. My mother cooks the best gumbo. Today, we ate lots of gumbo, potato salad, and cheesecake. Then we posed for pictures in front of the Christmas Tree.Afterwards, my brother-in-law put in Talladega Nights. When I learned that it was a Nascar movie, I didn't want to watch it. See... I always associate "Nascar" with "redneck" culture. I personally blame "Nascar" for never going on vacations as a child. We were a Nascar racing family. My only vacation as a child was at Disneyworld once when I was 8. Racing filled up all the family's time back then. That is probably why I am a traveling fool as an adult.
Well, back to the movie. Talladega Nights is no ordinary Nascar movie. It was with Will Ferrel. It was filled with some really witty quips. You'll love the trash talking kids! Then OMG... lots of GAY talk. Damn... I was hooked! What a brilliant concept... infusing a movie with two diametrically opposite themes "GAY" and "NASCAR". It worked brilliantly! Go see it!

Well, if you were doing anything from Ms Twain, then yes, your little secret has been revealed.
I am jealous about that gumbo that your momma served...that sounds fantastic.
Glad you had a good holiday darlin...
I want some Gumbo! Sounds like you had a good holiday. Sweet.
You're probably a redneck if you work with your shirt off......and so does your wife.
Okay, i may now have to put that movie in our blockbuster que... and jeff and i love the pics of you in the magazine... we want more... heheeh... we hope you have had a great holiday...smooches!
Talk about Karma.....an hour after I read your blog this morning I went to visit friends. I didn't mention anything, but they put THAT movie in (by the way, you never said it was that gay). The first half was funny, but I was a little fuzzy toward the end. And before you say it, yes, I do bear a striking resemblance to the mother (BITCH!).
The one time I was in New Orleans (I think in 2002), I went for 5 nights right around Bourbon st. First, ouch - training myself to be in the height of boozing and shmoozing at 6am was scary.
Second, every single day we searched out a different restaurant to try their gumbo. I went gaga for gumbo. Some days I had it for lunch and dinner.
Sadly, when I looked up the recipe I realized it was something I was not talented enough to create on my own, so I've never had it again.
So, that picture just got me excited :)
glad you had a good christmas. i, too, was surprised to enjoy Talladega Nights.
Mmmm that Gumbo looks awesome :)
