I have a blog on myspace if anyone is interesting called 'cooking is not rocket science'. This is not for "self promotion" lmao. I make absolutely no money doing this blog. This is to de-mystify the ridiculous cooking shows on TV by personalities who have never worked in a kitchen and don't write their own recipes. Like I said 'if anyone is interested' still lmao. If you need a tip or an idea email me. Zmooch.

Except when I get done I feel bad I didn't have anyone to share it with and enjoy it. It's something I'm proud of.

Yes... Rue needs to be stirred constantly and to high of heat will burn it. then you have to just throw it all out and start from scratch again.

why does my rue always break? rue is tricky What is rue? Rue is typically used in gumbo, jambalaya, things like that. It's a mixture of oil and flour cooked together. Easy to mess up I will tell you that.

So it is kind of like making gravy?

So it is kind of like making gravy? no. Like I said before, it's typically used as a base for things like gumbo. It's cajun I think.

Ok it is just that flour and oil make gravy as well! LOL
