Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium sized pot, add chicken breast and thighs and cover with 2 quarts of water. Bring water to a boil, then simmer until fully cooked about 20 to 25 minutes. Strain the water and reserve. Remove the cooked chicken from the pot, and allow to cool. Once cooled, shred chicken into smaller pieces, cover and set aside. In a medium sized sauce pan, add the okra and ½ cup of water/ Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 7-9 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer the okra to a colander to drain the water and reserve the cooked okra.In a large pot, combine ½ cup unsalted butter and ½ cup flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently with a whisk to make a dark brown roux, about 15 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, celery and garlic and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.Add cooked okra, tomatoes and sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for about 15 minutes. Add bay leaf, thyme, basil, pepper and salt. Add 4 cups of the reserved strained water from the cooked chicken, mix well and bring to a gently boil. You may add more depending on how thick you want the gumbo. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes with the pot loosely covered, stirring occasionally.Add cooked shredded chicken and simmer an additional 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and slowly stir in the file. Do not reboil after adding in file as this tends to make the gumbo stringy. Serve over steamed rice.

Food Joke

A husband is at home watching a football game when his Wife interrupts, "Honey, could you fix the light in the hallway? It's been flickering for weeks now." He looks at her and says angrily, "Fix the light? Now? Does it look like I have a G.E. logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Well then, could you fix the fridge door? It won't close properly." To which he replies, "Fix the fridge door? Does it look like I have a Westinghouse logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." "Fine," she says, "Then, would you at least fix the steps to the front door? They're a mess and a real hazard." "I'm not a damn carpenter and I don't want to fix the steps," he says. "Does it look like I have a Black and Decker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so." He continued, "In fact, I've had enough of all your Bickering. I'm going to the bar!" So, the pleasant husband goes to the bar and drinks for a couple hours. Sometime later, he starts to feel guilty about his treatment of his wife, so he decides to return home and help out with the chores. As he walks into the house, he notices the steps have been repaired. Then, as he enters the house, he notices the hall light is working again. And, to top it off, when he goes to get a beer from the fridge, he notices the fridge door has been fixed. "Honey, how'd this all get fixed?" His wife replies, "Well, when you left, I sat outside and cried. Just then, a nice young man asked me what was wrong, and I told him. He offered to do all the repairs, and all I had to do was either have sex with him or bake him a cake." "So, what kind of cake did you bake him?" asks the husband. "Hellooooooo!" she replies emphatically, "Do you see a Betty Crocker logo printed on my forehead? I don't think so!"
