I got a “Just Because” gift right before Christmas and was conflicted about whether or not to open it right away. I asked the Glover Gardens group on Facebook, and 57% voted to open it.
So I did – I opened it! (Wouldn’t you??) It was a marvelous little gumbo bowl with a spoon.
I love it! This gift encompasses two things that delight me: gumbo and playfulness with words. Mumbo gumbo, indeed! That’s roux-ward worthy. 😁
The next thing I did? Fill it with chicken and sausage gumbo. (Wouldn’t you??)
And folks, I’m happy to report that in making this batch of gumbo, I was finally able to document the recipe in a way that I *think* is shareable, that is, a way that isn’t mumbo jumbo and is repeatable by someone other than me. It’s coming soon!
I love my “Just Because” gift, and this post is the thank you note to its giver, Ms. WordsMaven (as she will be known here). Thank you!!!
Hi, where did you purchase the Mumbo gumbo bowl?
It was a gift from a friend. I’ve searched for it online and found that it was sold by a company called Mud Pie out of Kingwood, TX, not too far from here, but it’s not on their web site (https://www.mudpie.com/). It is also on Amazon, here: https://www.amazon.sg/Mud-Pie-Gumbo-Spoon-White/dp/B07MQZWQXT , but isn’t available right now. I’ve sent a message to the Mud Pie via their Contact Us page and will come back here with the answer. It’s definitely cute, isn’t it?
