I guess what I was trying to say is, for your first ever gumbo, maybe go with the basics. First, it is easier, but more than that, it is what most cajun families eat most often.
Good advice.
Making the roux is supposed to be tricky but both times I found it very easy
The tricky part is the amount of attention a roux needs. You obviously nailed it.
