"A meal for my family"

If I were able to cook any meal for my family, I would cook gumbo. First I would cut up the okra, smoked sausage and clean the shrimps. Then I would make the root. After the root starts to brown I would add some water. After the water begins to boil, I would add the shrimps, smoked sausage, crabs, and okra to the pot. I would also add the seasoning to it. I let that stay on the stove for 2 1/2 hours. Then I would boil some rice. When I'm done, I would put the rice in the bowl and put the gumbo on top.
