your goose is probably only half-baked at this point

This recipe is lifted pretty much wholesale from John's Foodwishes.com blog , but I've posted it here for two THREE reasons: 1. He doesn't put okra in his gumbo, which is ridiculous (in my opinion), and since it's not in his recipe, I nearly forget it every time; and 2. He doesn't have the instructions written down. Anywhere. You have to watch the video to get the cook-times and order of additions. 3. His ingredients aren't listed in the order you use them. Of all my massive, enormous, RAGING pet-peeves when it comes to recipe-writing, THIS IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST.

Not cool at all. So here it is, Chef John's chicken and sausage gumbo, which I learned to cook because o...

Mostly, it's katsudon made to my digestive needs and our American taste buds' preferences, but it's tasty and we like it, so there's that. Katsudoff/Katsudon't Ingredients Rice 1 cup rice (dry measure) Meats 1ish lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or turkey cutlets (thighs are a pain to trim, but they're WORTH IT) 1/3ish cup flour (we use whole wheat because that's what we have around the house) 2 eggs (you will need extra eggs for serving) Black pepper to taste (use a lot, mmm) 2/3ish cup bread crumbs (we use Italian seasoned, you should pr...
