Jim Low's Beast Feast Gumbo, page 76


The gumbo was well received by the 25 people who joined us for dinner on the island in the Missouri River Saturday night. We cut the recipe way back and still had an ample amount for the crowd, and enough left over for the four of us to have it for dinner Sunday night.

Having it on the island worked well. I made it ahead of time, and we just reheated it on the camp stove when we got there. Ann made the rice right before we left, and then wrapped the pot in a couple of blankets, and it stayed hot until dinner time.
After-dinner campfire time.
The weather was perfect, mild enough so that the desert island didn’t get too hot, but warm enough to get in the water, which is important when you’re using a fiberglass boat with a inboard motor to ferry 25 people and camping gear across the Missouri River.
