    Okay, I'll be waiting to give it a try, but I can't make it hot. My lady doesn't like hot.

    Yes Bruce……you had to eat this entire bowl just to get tang…….I don’t like overpowering heat myself and in my opinion it just masks the best flavors……….

    Good afternoon Bruce I located the tutorial during my lunch break today……

    This is just a ten minute watch and he is very good about emphasizing the key points…..first watch will help you determine what you will need and what you may have to substitute for….watch again when ready to start and good luck….he puts some seasonings in his recipe but he doesn’t over power…..bay leaves are very important to the unique flavor as well as gumbo filet, which is ground up sassafras leaves…..let me know what you think…
