Yep, been making my own roux from lard for a dozen years or more. I have cut way back, don't want clogged arteries

It is very time consuming, you have to stand there stirring and stirring at a very low temp for like 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Such is my dedication

Seeing how this thread talks about food a lot, I have a question. Do stores carry Tony's up there, or do ya'll use it?

Not sure why, but just got to thinking and was curious. When i was in college, I had a professor who visited Japan a lot. He said it was always customary to bring a gift, and he always brought a few cans of that because everyone loved it over there.

Not sure what you mean, Ray. What is "Tony's"?

[ray6072]

Tony Chachere's. Its a seasoning. You can put it on anything you think of, and its going to taste good. lol

Got to go have a po-boy at either Domilise's or a roast beef at Parkway Bakery.

Have some in my kitchen. In the Canton area of Ohio it is sold in all Grocery stores.

I would also recommend Mother's on Poydras and tchoupitoulas, easily one of the best places for good southern cooking I've ever had.

My grandmother would make me and my cousins take turns stirring, we learned to stay in the woods out of sight when she was cooking gumbo. She switched from lard when we were still kids after my grandfather started having heart problems.
