I do sometimes take feta AND cheddar, though.
OK, well that qualifies as large living. Carry on.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Jilli, could you use oat flour instead of wheat to start a roux if you were making it yourself?
Jilli, I'd try making a roux with arrowroot or tapioca or another flour before I gave up on gumbo.
Yeah, but this means I have to try making a roux. Which is something I've been too wimpy to attempt. I fear the scorching! I am not an attentive or organized cook!

Well, this is the crazy thing: they do.
Okay, then they really are crazy. Because I have no idea how you've put up with years of this bullshit! I mean, I'm glad they value you, but oy!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Actually, adding too much stuff is not as good,
That's how I came to make my omelet. I decided, "Well, maybe the French know what they're talking about and maybe less is more and maybe Americans have a problem with restraint when it comes to pizza and omelets. I'll compromise and limit myself to three ingredients though no self-respecting Frenchman would ever do more than two, and one of them would be an herb like chervil."

The discussion of gumbo and roux and dried beans made me think of a list.
Stuff I Eat and Cook With All the Time Since Moving To New Orleans:
- dried Camellia red beans - flour ( we go through it like crazy without even baking.) - Crystal hot sauce - Tony Chacere spice mix - iced chicory coffee - grits - ham hocks - shrimp - tasso - Steen's cane syrup - cayenne - dried thyme - collard greens - satsumas - okra - fresh pink-eyed peas - dried black-eyed peas - andouille - rabbit/quail/duck...game meats
Thanks for permitting me that indulgence! I am sure there are more, but for some reason I needed to get this out of my brain.

You can make a roux, Jilli. It just involves a lot of stirring. I usually try to make myself a drink first so I have something to keep me entertained while I make it.

It was a treat for me. Moving to New Orleans was such a bold, good thing for you guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You are totally New Orleanean now, Nora! Fun.

Don't fear the roux, Jilli! If you don't want to pay attention to it, you can make it in the oven.
Monterey Jack and olives going on the shopping list. I don't know about this feta idea. Does it melt?
