If Randazzo's can ship king cakes, I can ship snickerdoodles. I’ll participate in a long distance cookie exchange if we all get to blog about the baking process and post photos!

I have been thinking about that this year. I think there was a lot of merriment and yakking going on over bowls of that gumbo. Well, then is someone up for a cookie exchange.

I LIKE that I drive an hour to pick up a pound (or seven!) of sausage. It's now a roadtrip that I will plan (hopefully with a friend) and enjoy once or twice a year. And if you've never cooked with a friend, try it! It's a completely different experience than schlepping away in the kitchen alone. Wendy, Belle, Pete:

It's a chance to visit and catch up--there's just as much yakking going on as there is chopping and cooking. You can always buy gumbo, but then you miss out on doing something together that, in turn, will (hopefully) give many other friends and family pleasure when shared with them. Wendy & Bayouvieux:

I am with her! Although, I don't like gumbo . . . will I be struck by lightening now? I like Wendy’s comment. I am with her!

I would rather just let some friends make it and then I come over and eat it. The best gumbo to eat is someone else's. Dude that is too much work.
