We had avoided the freezing rain they had predicted but about 8:00 this morning it started getting foggy and the fog mist started freezing on the roads. Didn't last long though, we ended up getting some rain later. Not having a lot of luck with my car. Just got it back from a small hose leak and now there's a leak on the other side of the engine, guess it happens when the car has well over 140,000 miles on it. I need a new car or good used one, and SUV type so I can get my wheelchair in and out of the car easily by myself. But it costs money, which is tough to save when your on a fixed income. Anyway I had planned a new Chicken Dish for dinner but I failed to lay the Chicken out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge overnight. Good job Mark! But no problem because I have some incredible leftovers to reheat! Tonight it's Leftover Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo w/ Wheat Bread.
This is the post from last night's dinner on how to prepare this dish. To make it I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base, Johnsonville Andouille Sausage, and a bag of Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp. The Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix uses Pasta instead of Rice. Very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 minutes. I just boil the stock that’s in the packet, sliced the Johnsonville Andouille Sausage into bite size pieces and added them to the stock along with a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 10-15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 3-6 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turned out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish. Enough leftover for my dinner tonight! I also had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Frozen Greek Yogurt.Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix:
