What's the difference between Jambalaya and Gumbo?

Gumbo is a (usually) chicken based soup served over a scoop of rice.  The Cajuns will serve it over a scoop of potato salad.  It can be (diced) chicken and sausage gumbo, seafood gumbo (usually shrimp) or Gumbo Z'herbes (made of 7 different greens in a vegetable stock and eaten on meatless days.)

Jambalaya is a tomato based rice dish that has chicken, ham, sausage, and/or shrimp in it.  There are jambalayas made without the tomato base, and they are usually closer to dirty rice.  Just depends on what kind your grandma made.

They both sound really good. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest with some relatively bland food. Salt and pepper are considered spices there. Meat and potatoes.

I have a friend, my age, from Winnfield LA (northern part of the state).  She is a salt and pepper seasoner also.  When I send her some leftovers I have to warn her that they have onion, garlic, etc.  I'm gradually introducing her to more exotic foods such as hot dogs with sauerkraut, sopa de riz (beef soup mexican style), etc.

Although PA just made 70,  he is far from dead.  He had surgery on his ankle in December and you should have seen the look on the doctor's face when we asked when we could start having sex again.  It didn't help that the PR piped up, "Yeah, they're grouchy if they don't have sex."

Since this is Intensity we play fast and loose with history.  Besides I don't know if I could handle 9 without help.  One is quite enough.

We started in mid january.  and yes, it is pleasurable and we are monogamous and fairly conventional.  But we do have our ways.

Hey, I forgot to post this.  Yesterday, March 16 was our 27th wedding anniversary.  Simple dinner out and much physical conversation later.
