Giving the pot one last stir, he scooped some of the gumbo juice - TopicsExpress

Giving the pot one last stir, he scooped some of the gumbo juice and tasted it, satisfied with the flavor and aroma it gave off. Sanctuary was closed for a private party this evening, the dinner date between his family and a dear friend. The kids were playing at the table and Chi was with them while he cooked. All he needed now was their guest of honor, Wendy Buchanan Wagner. When he heard the door, he scooped rice into bowls and poured gumbo on top, creating a soup like texture. Placing a scoop of potato salad in each bowl, he set them on a tray and began to move towards the dining area. I hope ya hungry, cher. Deres enough for an army. He grinned as he set out the bowls along the table they sat at, smiling over at Chi before walking towards Wendy to wrap his arms around her in a hug. So glad ya joined us, Cher.
