Thanks, love oysters and would have dumped 'em in all at once and let them overcook.

No problem...good luck. One final thing. I have found that gumbo is usually much better after it has been sitting in the fridge for a while...like overnight...however, it is hard to get to that point, because you usually end up eating most of it on the first sitting.

Gumbo for me always taste better the next day. After I make a pot and refrigerate it, it taste 10 times better the next day. All that love needs to marinate.

I have a batch of green bell peppers I was going to stuff this weekend but hell... I think I need to make a pot of gumbo now.
