Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The base of so many southern dishes is a roux. One of the tests of a true southern cook is how well a roux they make. A Roux can be placed in a jar and keep in refrigerator after cooling to use at any time. I will even double the recipe. My mother-in-law cooks hers in the microwave to save on time and mess.
