THEY CAME FROM PLANET
GUMBO TO JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA
Here's a picture of some of it. The kids stole the show
and the heart of the Sauce Boss simultaneously. The
third installment of "Invasion from Planet Gumbo"
was met with cheers of glee from kids and parents alike.
Thank you to all who came to the Sultzbacher Center
Shelter to share in the spirit of community. Some very
cool things are about to happen on Planet Gumbo. Stay
tuned...

FORAGING OPPORTUNITIES
ABOUND IN HOMESTEAD, FLA
Homestead is home of a sizable Mexican population and
once you get a few blocks off of US Highway 1, the little
Mexican restaurants are the real deal.
So I'm crusing aimlessly through South Florida and I
see all these people out in a spent tomato field gleaning
the sun-ripened good-uns out of the rotting tomatoes.
The field was what? About five acres at least? And still
there were tons o' maters wasting away in the sun. Screeching
to a halt, bag in hand, I was an instant gleaner. Took
me all of five minutes to fill the bag and what am goin
to do with all these tomatos? SALSA! A trip to the supermarket
in downtown Homestead produced onion, jalapeno and serano
peppers, cilantro, tomatillos, and while I was there,
I copped the ultimate score. Sitting on top of the meat
counter was a pile of... are you ready for this?...I'm
talkin bout.. the sin of sins... could it be?... oh
my goodness... IT IS! . . .It's PORK RINDS. CRACKLIN'S.
THE SKIN OF THE PIG!!!! But listen now. These are not
just any pork product. These are the absolute BEST!
Pieces of pigmeat with fat and skin attached, plunged
into the deep fat fryer and cooked to Latin perfection.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MAN, that's good! OK, I
still need some more stuff for the salsa, so I cruise
down to "Robert Is Here" Fruit Stand for mangoes
and Key limes. Robert has been in the fruit biz since
he was seven years of age. That was forty three years
ago. The fruit stand is a typical Florida pre-Disney
World roadside attraction. A Model T Ford and asimilar
vintage Detroiter are parked out front on the weekends.
Around back is a menagerie with iguanas, chickens, goats,
and a bunch of real big turtles. Like the biggest turtle
I ever saw. Must weigh 300 pounds! Inside, is the place
for all yer tropical fruit needs. In addition to all
the regular citrus and apples and pears and veggies,
Robert has Mamey,Sapodilla, Asian Guavas, little tiny
bananas, and a strange tropical fruit called Red Alama.
It tastes like rasberry yogurt. Weird but tasty. He's
also got jellies, relishes, honey, syrup, dressings,
marinades, sauces, mustards, chutneys, dried fruit and
nuts. But the popular spot at Roberts' is the fresh
fruit milkshakes. There's always a line of touristas
waiting for their sugar fix. Oh! Don't forget yer dried
alligator sticks.
