Gumbo Party

Today there was an amazing gumbo party at 6:00 at the Alaska Baptist Convention Center.  It was great.  It was put on by the a team that had come up from Louisiana, (Boo LSU) and they were great people with some good conversations, they just have bad choices in sports teams.

Aside from all that, they cooked some amazing gumbo and jambalaya and had this amazing apple salad with raisins, marshmallows, walnuts and this amazing sauce kinda stuff all over them, and then they also had this amazing banana, pudding. Man i love me some banana pudding.  This team that made all of this food has been in Alaska the past week doing projects here and there.  Doing a VBS in Nome Alaska, but only after they finally arrived after a 3 day delay because of severe fog.  And the other service project they had been working on was doing a little touch up work on the Alaska Baptist Convention Center.

To culminate all their work and to celebrate, they had a gumbo party, which again, was amazing.  It was great to just break away from work and hang out with others.  I had some good conversation's with a guy named Bob, with a wife named Barbara ( I am pretty sure that was her name). They RV and so they travel all over and they know of some people in our area so it was cool just to talk to them.

One side story to share before i show some pictures of this little happening.  There was this hot sauce there, it was horrible.  It tasted like chile powder, and conveniently that taste makes me want to puke.  But aside from the nasty taste it was just way to hot to where it wasn't even enjoyable.  I added some to my jambalaya and the lady watched me and said "you are going to die." In fact, i almost did, thanks to the hot sauce which i later realized was named death.  (again, another pretty sure on the name)  But it was a blast.  

Here are some pictures.
