Check out www.nolacuisine.com recipes, pictures, commentary. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. Recipe links are on the right column down a bit. I have been inspired to make my own tasso and andouille..after I build a smoker (may take a while 
). There are a couple different gumbos the darker roux one being more classic I guess, though I prefer the gumbos from the brick roux. Plus I think there is a gumbo z'herbes there as well..all greens. I haven't tried it yet but it will happen soon it looks great. Good luck! Maybe experiment and use duck fat for the roux. Now I can't go to work today, I am off to the store.

I'm sure you'll get lots of good recipes, but I want the one for the "BOIL" you did at your house last summer. And while you're at it, can you send me the one for the summer beer. I know it's winter, but I'm a planner!
Sorry to hijack..

I'd like the one for summer beer too! That was very tasty. It's never to early to start planning!

Gumbo! . We love Gumbo! Here are some pix of us cooking up a roux for a seafood gumbo a few year's ago. http://sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?t=1082&highlight=gumbo+riley. We prefer the dark roux for gumbos and the lighter roux for shrimp or crab etoufee. The best recipes for gumbo I have seen are in Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen.
When we want to do a gumbo in a hurry, without making roux from scratch, we've tried a few packaged products. For years, we've liked Bayou Magic's products www.bayoumagic.com/, but recently the gumbo base has become too salty for our tastes. Tonite we tried a new product, Cajun C.J.s http://http://www.cajuncjs.com/ and it was GREAT!A dark roux, seasoned well. This was for a chicken and andouille gumbo.
In SoWal, I believe Shrimper's has frozen andouille (maybe tasso,too) and I think Destin Ice might have andouillie as well.

Tasso!
Yes, tasso is an absolute necessity - especially for a great red/white beans and rice for a Monday night dinner. There are many Louisiana tasso purveyors, but the best two IMO are:http://www.belluescajuncuisine.com/ and http://www.jfolse.com/.
