o.k. here's Emeril's recipe...(He adapted it for the slow cooker/crock pot)
Emeril Lagasse's Chicken and Andouille Gumbo
Prep time: 15-20 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes (plus time in refrigerator or slow cooker)
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1lb andouille or other smoked sausage, in 1/2 inch rounds
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onions
3/4 cup diced celery
3/4 cup diced green bell peppers
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 quart chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped scallions, tops only
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
rice, for serving
Combine chicken, sausage, onions, celery, pepprs, garlic, bayleaves, thyme, hot sauce, salt, blackpper, worcestershire sauce , and cayenne pepper in slow cooker
stir in Chicken stock. Cover slow cooker, and simmer on low until chicken is very tender and falling off the bone (at least 8 hours or overnight)
Skim off any fat that's risen to the surface, discard.
Pour flour into a small skillet, and cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until flour just begins to turn a light tan around the edges (about 2 minutes) Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until flour is dark blond and has a fragrant nutty aroma (about 8 minutes). Watch flour closely (if it burns it will add a bitter taste) Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl, and set aside to cool completely.
Ladle 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a heatproof measuring cup; slowly pour into cooled flour, whisking constantly until smooth.
Add flour mixture to slow cooker, and stir to combine well. Add scallions.
Cover slow cooker, and simmer, undisturbed for 1 1/2 hrs.
Stir in parsley, then ladle gumbo into shallow soup bowls. Place a scoop of rice (1/4 to 1/2 cup) in the center of each bowl, and serve immediately.

I was just telling him how great it would be to go with some DIS'ers and 3 tanks for that price/etc. Got him all excited then read the PM about it all taken and too late for him to join y'all. Where's the cry emoticon when you need it? *cry*
