Loved your story! You do have a way with words, ma'am. I had gumbo for lunch today! No file, tho. Just chicken/sausage gumbo today. I have to make it and freeze it in small batches. A little too much file and it's like slime. DH doesn't even like to look at it!
Interesting to know where my file/sassafras comes from. Guess I hadn't thought about it before.
