Gumbo & Spaghetti

Well...it's been a while. I have been slacking on blogging and on cooking. We did try a few new recipes of the past few weeks. I guess they just weren't good enough to motivate me to blog about them. The first was a re-make of a recipe I tried over a year ago. Florida Mullet and Black Eye Pea Gumbo. Found the recipe while I was getting some fresh seafood at Charlie's Fish House in Crystal River. We didn't have any mullet but we did have some fresh Gulf shrimp and oysters. Last time we tried this, it wasn't spicy enough so I upped the jalapenos from 1 to 3...same result. Good flavors, just not spicy enough for my taste. Maybe next time we should add some spicy sausage in to kick it up a notch. The second dish we tried was Spaghetti and scallops. Came across the recipe in a Woman's World magazine. Same result as above...good flavor, just not spicy enough for me...it would be really good for those who prefer a more bland palette. Until next time...
