shared governance on gumbo

I particularly liked onionhead's attempt at humor.... "I might have to try them 3 or four more times to see which one I'll choose." As usual, his joke went flat....the man's as funny as a carcinoma.

There were some really interesting "intellectual property" issues in the gumbo contest, and I'm surprised that there were as many as five entries. The repetitive "call for entries" posted on the faculty LISTSERV said that any entry "would become the property of the University" with NO financial reimbursement to the entrant, other than the recognition.

What a deal here . . . let's see, I have a "wurl-class" gumbo recipe from my Cajun relatives, that's going to bring business into the "Powerhouse Restaurant" and I'm going to GIVE it away? What an interesting "business model" at work here.

Hmm, there are twelve recipes for gumbo in "Talk About Good" the best Cajun cookbook there is (published by the Junior League of Lafayette LA) -- why would you need to go to all this trouble?

There's even goose gumbo. Might be a good recipe to keep handy.

Goose gumbo? Yahhhh!!! Ugggggg!!!! Let's hope a good recipe for "eating crow" will be needed in the near future.

But in this case, the goose would be pre-cooked.
