Texas Chili From Scratch #yeeha

Texas Chili from scratch! Through the years many well meaning folks have tried their level best to define Texas Chili. During the heyday of chili cooking competitions, CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) required contestants to create a stew of meat and gravy only. Fillers would disqualify you. Some so called purist would be outright mean about the whole bean and chili debate. Those same folks would be the first to open a can of tomato paste or tear into a pre-packaged commercial chili powder. I mean if you are going to claim to know Texas chili then you should know about chili peppers! Right? To this Texan, chili is a stew with a hearty meat and gravy. If you actually read the labels of some of the most popular brands of commercial chili powder they do not even mention the type of chili peppers in the pre-packaged mix. Most of the pre-packaged chili powders have loads of salt and most have MSG and anti-caking agents like sodium aluminosilic...

Tex-Mex food is good for the soul!

Here in southeast Texas we take for granted the fact we enjoy the best Tex-Mex food in the world. Ask anyone who has been away from home very long what they missed the most and you will hear time and again the fact they can not wait to get their Tex-Mex fix. There is no place in the country where so many Tex-Mex restaurants doing Tex-Mex so well in so many different ways. It is truly incredible how long patronized restaurants put their signature on the basics. Family secret chili sauces smothering enchiladas are down right addicting.

The old guard restaurants have been doing it well for decades. Patrons of these restaurants do not want them to change a thing. A discerning pallet will detect the slightest change. It is very possible to eat at different Tex-Mex restaurants for months and never have a bad meal. If you are like me, you have...

Clay's Seafood Gumbo #aaayyyeee

Seafood Gumbo Southeast Texas Style ~ I have been on a mission since I was very young to taste and record the best family gumbo recipes handed down in southeast Texas. My mom had her mom's who had her mom's here in southeast Texas. Each generation did something a little different to suit the chef. I have made a point of eating gumbo at the finest seafood places in Texas and Louisiana. I have also read reviews and visited every place in New Orleans with a reputation for gumbo. I'm dead serious and there is one gumbo that stands above the rest! Let me be the first to say, I was never totally disappointed and always loved the various chef's take on this French Creole staple. Gumbo varies across the board. I have a Lady's Auxiliary Creole cookbook from the 60's and it is powerful tool to guide methods and flavors. Back then, pork fat ruled and it still does! Pork fat and roux are a marriage made in heaven. I like a dark, toasty roux which adds a nutty depth of f...
